So, I showed you a couple posts ago about the cool gifts I was given and projects I made at the group meeting on Saturday. I also mentioned that I participated in a card swap. The other ladies made such awesome cards that I had to share!
And here are a few of my favorites!
For the first time, Stampin’ Up! has offered a 15% discount on brand new stamps when they first came out. One of the stamps on sale was Pocket Silhouettes and when I saw them, I thought they would be so versatile and I had to take advantage of the sale. Since it was one of the sets I kept out of the moving boxes, I decided to try them out on a couple cards.
Both of these cards were simple designs and the vintage violet card was designed by accident. 🙂 I was trying to figure out what kind of design to make and when picking up scraps I ended up setting them down in a layout close to the end result and the rest built from there.

After arriving at my MIL’s house, one night we were talking about how I had become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. She was curious about stamping and card making but didn’t 
know what to do, so I helped her design and put together her first card. It is a simple card but looks nice in real life.
