DAY NINE: Spring 2016 One-for-One Swaps

DAY NINEAll good things must come to an end – right?  Brace yourselves because today is the final day of the cards I received during April’s Spring One-for-One Swap.  You’ve told me how much you’ve enjoyed seeing all these beauties – and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing them with you.  Each one is filled with beautiful inspiration – so much to love about the care that went into each and every card.

If you have missed any of the previous days of these swaps, be sure to check them out here:

I love these swaps because they showcase beautiful projects from cardmakers at ALL SKILL LEVELS – some are brand new to the craft, and others have been creating for years.  Please look them over, admire their beauty and then let the creators know how beautiful their cards are (I already know you’ll be kind with your comments, but I am going to request it, anyway).

The collection of cards might not all have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives good ideas for color combinations, layouts, techniques.  They are sure to inspire you.  Without any further ado, here is the next batch of your beautiful cards:

Carrie Todd, Corsicano TX, Stampin' Up!, card swap

  1. Hello,
    I received Frenchie Hum’s card. I think it’s a really charming card. I think this card will make a great relief card. The saying “Let me pedal for awhile ” kind of sounds like”Let me help out for awhile”.
    Thank you Brian for putting this swap together. I enjoyed my first swap and looking forward to the next.

  2. So many great cards to get some new ideas from in this group. Each card would be a delight in my mailbox ! Diana and Karen convinced me to go ahead and get those stamp sets they used before they retire . I have been trying to decide and their cards are both great so I am getting both .
    Thank you Brian ! This has been fun !!

  3. I was so thrilled to receive Jennifer Ardent’s lovely card in the mail. Never can get enough of this set. Thanks Brian for organizing the swap. Can’t wait till the next one.

    Thank you Sue Johnson. It is very pretty and my elderly mother is going to love it!
    Thank you Brian for hosting this wonderful swap!
    Was my first, won’t be my last!

  5. This has been fun, I like seeing where all of the cards came from and today Nan Farwell’s card showed up from my town! Hi Nan, my card posted yesterday. I wonder who received it? Thanks for hosting Brian, lots of inspiration on these pages and our wish lists got longer!

  6. This collection of beautiful cards makes me smile. I’m definitely inspired!

  7. I received Nan Farwell’s beautiful card. Such detail. Thanks.

  8. Hi All! Brian, thanks so much for doing this. There are certainly a lot in this swap. I too have been patiently waiting for the card that I received, but enjoying the suspense at the same time. I see they are in alphabetical order? The card I received is shown today by Karen Greiss. The cut out is perfect, but the fish peeking out is gorgeous. You cannot see it here, but it is iridescent!!! It looks very “fishy-ish”. The little seahorse is just adorable. Great card!
    Thanks a bunch!
    🙂

  9. Oh how I hate waiting. I finally see the card I received. I got Shirley’s card with the butterflies. It’s so pretty! I love it! I will surely be casing it. Thank you Brian for hosting these swaps. They are so much fun!

  13. Such inspiration! I really love Georgette’s design.. I adore washi tape and buy it by the handfuls …. and then get stuck on exactly how to use it. This was a great way to showcase it.

  17. Although all the cards are great, I love Georgette’s use of washi tape.
