May SOTM Be Yourslef Swap #2

Here is my second card for Jen's swap. This card was too much fun to create. The card is 4 1/4 X 5. First I trimmed about half an inch off the opening side. I know it is hard to tell in the pictue, but its scalloped with the striped paper behind it. I used the green polkadot paper, the lighter blue, and the striped from Stardust level 2. I only used twilight ink. I used May SOTM and the flourish from Heartthrob. The button is from the summer collection and the floss is Karen Foster.

This is the matching envelope.


and the back flap of the envelope.

Round 2 of Amber Trubiak's Swap

Since there are only eight days of school left until my summer break, I am finding just a little bit more time to be creating. Summer Break, all you teachers shout out "YIPEEEEEE". I know that I can't wait! It feels really great to come home and relax with some paper, stamps, and inks knowing that there are not seventy tests to score and record. It has been a great school year, however, SUMMER is calling me.....





I had entered two rounds of Amber's black, white, and pop of color swap. Here is my second round card. To change it up just a little, I used one of the round cards from Wishes. The base of the card is black. I random stamped the Tickled Pink flowers and (D1191) Friendship Blessing flowers and sentiment on the white daisy circle. Instead of using honey cardstock on the cover of the card, I decided to go with honey ink. I like the outcome. Oh, I almost forgot the little black ribbon. I am addicted to ribbon. It seems everything I do has ribbon on it somewhere! Wonder what that means? Hmmmmm....





For the inside of the card, I used honey cardstock and the Friendship Blessings flower. The sentiment used here is (D1306) Treasure Life. Let me know what you think!

Amber Trubiak's Black & White Swap~CTMH

I am in Amber Trubiak's black & white with a pop of color swap at CTMH. I chose to use honey as my color. I kind of had the idea of doing something with a daisy when I chose this challenge. This is the end product. The final size of the card is 4 X 51/4. I used White Daisy, Black, and Honey cardstocks. The only ink I used was black. I used (D1204) Delight in Everything (daisy on front) stamp and (D1154) Love in Bloom (Seize the Daisy) and inside daisy. I used a button from the summer (z1282) collection. It is sunny yellow. It really doesn't look lighter than the honey. I tied a little piece of white floss inside the button. The ribbon is from (Z1034) Black Collection. Just to add something to the inside, I placed a piece of honey cardstock with a white daisy. It is ready for whatever message it will send. Leave a comment with your thoughts or suggestions. I entered two rounds of this swap, so now I am off to create another black, white and honey. Thanks for looking!
