This is so much fun to see your cards and I hope that you all enjoy this as much as I have…there is sooooo much talent out there and it is a joy to share them with you! If you do not see your card here today….have no fear – tomorrow is a new day!
Let's get going….Where I am staying the "photo shoot area" is not the best but I have tried to edit the pictures the best I can. There are again some beauties!
I wish that you could have read the note that Donna wrote to me….not only does she have beautiful handwriting, her note is super sweet! She was super proud of herself (and so as I am) that that she thought "out of the box" and came up with this FUN card….it is the leaves turn upside down…..SO DARN CLEVER!
Simple, Classic….SPECIAL! This is a fabulous card and that horse thinlit looks so festive but the thing that POPS to me is all of the white space and also the little bit of shimmer. As I said in yesterday's post…I don't get this one retiring as it is a fun and different bundle that is a KEEPER!
Now this is just one fabulous idea that I hope you CASE away! Nancy is the best and I am blessed to be able to receive many of these great "protectors" for her beautiful cards…Nancy is the "queen" of sending cards…..the next picture is a "Susan Card" to the max – this is one of my favorite layouts…..WOWZERS!
Karen is amigo #2 from the "3 Stamp-a-teers" and is this a beauty or what! I just could not resist showing you the inside as it is simply amazing. This is a fabulous example of how a different size card can make such an impact – LOVE IT!
The minute I opened this envelope and saw this AMAZING paper…..I was smiling from ear to ear! Sue used a BIG and BOLD paper to set the stage for such a beautiful card! The heat embossing MAKES IT!
Now this is a FUN card that is very different! I love the fact that it can be sent in a regular envelope ….it is super fun and different! I will CASE this for you so you can see the "In's and Out's of how to make it! So many fun elements – stamping, embossing and interactive – AMAZING…..I know my Mom is smiling on this one as she loved cardinals!
Now how about this elegant card from our favorite "sheep herder" – I cannot tell you how mush I still laugh and think of Mary Ann when I see "my version" of her sheep (still looks like Rod Stewart)….now this is a card that is oh, sooooo beautiul! I will be CASING this one for sure…..check back to see my version, thanks to Mary Ann's inspiration!
Now how about some love for these great cards! I am sure that these super talented ladies would LOVE to heat how you feel! I know how I feel….SUPER PROUD! We all have "gifts" and it is my pleasure to share your work!
I am hoping that you are as excited as I am with the FABULOUS upcoming SALE that Stampin' Up! is offering starting on Monday! Be sure to click here if you missed the in's and out's! Get that pad of paper out…our catalogs….and go to town with a wish list!
More SWAPS tomorrow! Enjoy the day and many, many thanks for popping in! WOOT-WOOT to you all….great job!
Beautiful cards and I will definitely be CASING! There are so many fresh, fun ideas and it is so great to get them from your blog. I love Nancy’s protector idea….so clever and unique! Can’t wait for the next round. So fun! Hugs!
This set of cards is as nice as the first set.
Thank you for your kind words. 🙂 (I got the protector idea with a store-bought card about two Christmases ago.)
Another round of great cards! It’s fun to see all the unique ideas that are out there. Maybe we should do a Valentines swap!
Love the creativity of everyone’s cards. The simplicity of Nancy’c card is beautiful. Great job everyone!
Hi Nancy – can you tell us about these protectors – what are they made of and does the whole card slide in or what? Love your card by the way!
Once again some great cards! I had to smile, the leaves upside down! Super idea! If I was Susan, I might have been tempted to keep all these cards and send out others to the swappers. I would have to invent a couple of fake names and maybe make 3 and then multiples of them! All are so different and each so special. I can’t wait to see which one I get. Looking forward to tomorrow’s parade of cards!
Great cards ladies, good job. I can see some more casing in the future ?
Dear Susan, Great job everyone. You all have such great ideas. Your cards are all so beautiful. It is so wonderful to see so much talent in one spot. Nancy, I do a similar idea with my cards. I place a piece of card stock over my cards, I write on it that it is just to protect your card through the mail. I then place the card and the card stock into the envelope facing the back of the envelope. I have not had any problem with extra postage, Great Job Ladies. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas. Ellen Hinds
These are fabulous. I really like all the die cut shapes. I agree, it will be fun to see which one arrives at my door.
Nancy,
Are your card protectors made from cardstock that you personalized? I love this idea.
