I was recently involved in my first ever online card swap. I've done many scrapbooking swaps before, but this was only my second card swap. Thankfully my first card swap was with ladies who loved me, because my cards were awful! That was many years ago, before I really learned how to make cards by watching videos made by some great instructors. Coincidentally that is why I make and share videos. I hope to inspire you like I have been inspired.
I decided to tweak my videotaped card a bit, but I still give instructions for those of you who want to CASE the original.
Swap 'Til We Drop Card
Can you spot the differences in the stepped up card?
Sweet Baby Stepped Up Card
Check out the video below to see how I created these cards. ***If you are viewing in your email you may need to head over to my website to watch the video. ***
You can see the detail in this close-up shot. This card was not simple, but it wasn't all that difficult either. There are a lot of steps, but I hope you will give this card a try. I think next time I'll use the largest Labels Framelit Die instead of the Top Note Die and emboss the black layer instead of the Melon Mambo. What do you think?
Come back on Sunday to get more tips on participating in swaps and see the FABULOUS cards I got back in the swap. I think they'll blow you away too. :)
Being creative has been such a blessing in my life that I want to share it with others. On my blog you will find cards, scrapbooks, quilts and a bit of my family life mixed in.
