Swaps for Leadership 2014

One of the fun things we do at Stampin' Up events is to swap – we make up card fronts and exchange them for ideas.  I come home with arm loads of neat ideas – which I definitely will be sharing with you when I get home.  But…..to swap, we need to make our own!  So I thought I would show you the ones I made…..

We actually are doing a "shoebox" swap the night we arrive – which is always fun.  We make up 1/2 the cards we are swapping and then we get to STAMP the rest of them.  You know stampers – we LOVE to stamp.

Here's the card I made for our shoebox swap – LOVE the watercolor suite in the Occasions catalog (has yours arrived yet?  If not, be sure and email me and I'll get you one in the mail!!) 

These colors are SO soft and beautiful!!

I did stamp off for the little Tangerine Tango flower because I really wanted the "soft" effect!  This is a neat layout and could be used with ANY designer paper!!  I'm going to have to make more of these for sure!!
