If you missed Part 1 of my One-for-One Swap Cards, please check it out here. And now for the second set of 10 cards from the swap (again, these are in no particular order). I invite you to please comment on this post with your praise for these works. Let the creator know how much you loved their card, their color choices, their techniques by posting comments below. Spread the love around, and no negative words, please.
How lucky was I to receive all of these!?! Even if I had to send them back out into the world, I enjoyed receiving every one of them. I will definitely be doing more of these swaps in the future. Thanks, again, for participating!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Beautiful artwork People! Such a treat to see 10 cards like this in one blog!
Each card is just wonderful! So much creative inspiration here. Thanks again for doing this Brian.
WOW!! Brian, I bet you had so much fun and delight receiving all the cards. This set is beautiful, so much talent and creativity. My other cards were from Diana D’Arminio, who made the one with the super cute little elephant holding a balloon, I love the red/black combination of colors Diana, thank you!! the other card I got was from Stacey Cogwell and I just love the composition on this card. It hasn’t been posted here yet Stacey but it’s lovely. The little purse and the color combination is beautiful, thank you Stacey.
Mr. Brian, please do this again. It’s so much fun making the cards and more fun waiting for them. Thank you for thinking of this.

What gorgeous cards! Congrats to the recipients of these! Tags.
Another beautiful display of cardmaking using such a variety of SU tools and elements. What a great collection! And I’m even up early enough to be in Brian’s Top Ten (Comments!) LOL
Great cards with lots of new ideas for me to follow up on.
Brandy, love the color combo. Is that calypso coral and Sahara sand?
I can answer for her. Yes! I was crazy about this color combo, too. 🙂
I’m crazy about that color combo, also!! So elegant in this wonderful card!!
Thank you! I am a bit of a late bloomer with Sahara Sand, lol. I struggle to find use for ‘shades of brown’ which is what SS is to me. I have found that I am starting to love the kraft/natural shades mixed with certain colors, it’s a work in progress. 🙂 I loved this combo so much I found myself automatically pulling those 2 colors out every time I started to make something, lol. I’m sure that wouldn’t have thrilled my class attendees. 🙂
Thanks Brian for hosting this swap! This is the first mail swap I’ve ever done & other than a friend occasionally posting my stuff on her blog, this is the very first time someone other than me has posted something of mine! It’s a little nerve-wracking the first time, lol. I only have 3 followers on my blog & they’re all friends of mine so I don’t get too nervous posting, but Brian the Blog King (a much deserved title IMHO) has A LOT of talented followers so the nice comments here are extra special to me, so thanks! 🙂
I’ll be back tomorrow to comment on the BEAUTIFUL card I received (waiting til the pic is posted so everyone can see which one I’m talking about). I didn’t know we could send more than one card but I will make sure I do the next time around to increase my return goodies!

I had 2 cards made to send to you… and then….. it just did not work out for me this time…. but the cards are amazing and such talent…. I love the seeing other peoples ideas! just amzing…

Hello Camille: I pray that you are feeling a lot better now, sending healing~~~~~vibes your way.
Don’t worry about missing this card swap, I’m sure Brian will do another one. Judging by the ammount of cards he got, you can tell how much fun it is to participate. Save the cards you made for the next one.
Take care.
Maria.
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful creations!
You are indeed extremely lucky to have received all of these fabulous and beautiful cards!!! Each one is beautifully crafted, colored and embellished wonderfully! Thank you for highlighting each of these cards. Look forward to seeing more!
Diane Roberts- LOVE your card! I have been playing around with the idea of trying out some sewing on my cards, I’ve never been a sew-er (or a sewer for that matter) so I’m slow moving to put my plan into action, do you use a machine for sewing on your cards? If so, what do you use? I have looked at some but they’re all so big. I borrowed a small one from a friend but it had only one speed & I had a hard time controlling it, it was pretty comical. Needless to say I did not keep my sewing creations…or allow anyone else to see them. I thought about doing what I do when a button falls off a shirt which is take it to the cleaners but I’m figuring they’re not going to sew a card for me. The looks they give me when I need a simple button sewed are bad enough….
Brandy-I use an Elna machine which I purchased over 35 years ago. It is the machine I use for any kind of sewing I need to do. I find that paper is easier to sew than fabric.-Diane
Thank you Diane!
Hello everybody: I’m still wondering who got my cards, I’m curious, you know? Please, please tell me, tell me, c’mon, tell meeeee!
The day I got my card from Patti Willey was a wonderful day! I loved the color combo!! Really brightened my day!! I have loved looking at all the cards and hope you do this again SOON!!!!!! It was so much fun!!!
Cheers! I’m so glad you enjoyed my card Sharon! 🙂
Beautifu cards and all so different! Alise F. – I am the lucky recipient of your Happy Birthday card. Love the creative way you used (what I am assuming is…) the oval punch for the flower pots. Very cheerful and thank you for the lovely note you included inside.
Such beautiful cards–each unique and showcasing the talents of the individual. Great job everyone!
I was so excited last Friday when I received Lori Homer’s beautiful “Thinking of You” card!! It was so well worth the wait! Beautiful card with the colors and scoring. Thanks, Lori and a great big thank you to you, Brian, for hosting this great swap. Please do it again, I’m sure you will get an even greater response!
