Card Swaps

So I didn’t get a chance to blog as much as I wanted to in the past few weeks.  I think I may have taken on more than I can handle ~ I’ll explain more later.  I decided I wanted to join a swap through Stampin Connection – this is where all demonstrators can pow wow.  I signed up for two spots in the hopes of making a feminine and a masculine birthday card.  The feminine one was easy peasy as I cased E. Holloway’s card as I absolutely love it.

 The masculine card wasn’t as easy as I had hoped it would be as I soon realized I didn’t have any current masculine stamp sets or ones that I didn’t want to use in any event.  But overall, I think I really like this – it is bright and cheery and will put a smile on anybody's face whether young or old!  Let me know your thoughts!

Bridal Favours

Before Christmas, I was asked by a local coffee distributor to design some Bridal Shower favours for her to give away at an upcoming Bridal Convention.  These were to hold individual packets of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.  As there was no theme, we decided to go black and white to keep it simple.  Below is the combination of what I created. 

I have also attached close up shots of the individual projects.

Pillow Boxes - I made a white one as well, but the black took a much better photo than the white:
