 Dec. 2023-Love and Jan. 2024-shoebox swap

Today I'm featuring two months for my Creative Crew card local swap group.

                                                stamps used:  Unity stamp co. 2 step wreath

We decided to combine December and January meeting because we were all so busy with the holiday.  The December theme was Love, so I did the 2 step wreath in green and red on a circle card.  Added a love saying to cement the theme.

                                        stamps used:  Stampin' Up Waterfront (saying), Stampin' Up DSP

Theme for January 2024 is a shoebox swap.   Each guest brings all of the supplies needed to make a card… and packs it all in a shoe box or any container. In the shoe box is a sample of the finished card, pre-cut card stock and all the stamps, ink & accessories needed to make the card. 

I had to go one step further, and do two cards.  Card #1 is basic and card #2 is stepped up a little.  I did fracture cards which you can see here in this post with a template.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again soon.

Try a shoebox swap

Earlier this month I got together with a few friends for our stamp club and we decided to do shoebox swaps from now on.  A shoebox swap is where you create a card and have everything inside a shoebox so everyone can recreate it.  Since this was our first one only three of us did the shoebox for the rest to create.  The fun thing is the three of us did Halloween without even consulting each

other, just worked out that way because our meeting was the beginning of October.  I used the SU owl punch, some stamping and a lot of layering, remember you can click on each pic to enlarge and see who made that card.  The peek-a-boo card was designed by Petti and she used mostly SU products including the peek-a-boo die cut.  Do like that witch and mummy.  Leslie created a square card with lots of paper collage items.  You will noticed that my friends gave out envelopes with their cards but I didn't....that's me for you.  next time I'll try to remember envelopes so no one has to go home with naked envelopes.
