Recently my team and I did a little card swap. Not all members participated and it was our first time trying it, so maybe next time more members of the team will give it a try. But I was really proud of my downline for their designs and I wanted to show them off here as very few of them have blogs!
Lets have a look at them one by one:
The first card is created by Dianne Gough using the Hand Drawn Blooms Bundle from the Annual Catalogue. I love the colours she has used and how she die cut the bouquet out of either sponged or watercoloured paper. I also love that she incorporated the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper in her design! Such an awesome card, Dianne!
Susan Martin made a beautiful CAS card using the Coming Home Bundle from the Aug/Dec Mini Catalogue! What you need to know about this card is that the little Volkswagon is actually adhered to the inside of the card and makes it's appearance on the card front through a die cut hole through to the front! How ingenious! So stinkin' cute, too!
This card was from Doreen Austgarden! She's designed a winter card using the Snow Wonder stamp set from the Aug/Dec Mini Catalogue. I really love this little snowman and the only reason I didn't get this set was because I already had a snowman stamp set. I just love the textured background and the way she has positioned the snowman just outside the top panel giving a unique perspective. The twine and rhinestones really brighten it up the muted image! Doreen has really skillfully coloured the images for an amazing effect!
Kim Findlater has made a beautifully rustic outdoors design using the Birch background stamp and the Mountain Air Bundle from the Annual Catalogue! I love the muted colours she's used, but the total effect is really exciting! With the pine trees and clouds popped up in front there is a real sense of perspective! Gorgeous!
So that was the card swap. I shared my card HERE.
Then I received a beautiful Thanksgiving card from a long time customer:
The beautiful fall colours that Eunice Stoneman used for this card are so warm and inviting! And this design is so texture rich that it makes me happy! Notice how each panel of design paper is backed with cardstock. That gives the card a really finished professional look! Thank you Eunice!
Speaking of Design Paper, I just wanted to remind you that the Designer Series Promotion is still on!
There is some beautiful DSP amongst this selection, and you could stock up to fuel your crafting for the remainder of the Annual Catalogue's run until May! Or you could use it to get discount prices on Christmas gifts for crafty friends and family!
