DAY ONE: 2020 Sending Love One-for-One Card Swap

Today’s the day! Over the past month, I’ve been running to my mail box to collect the GORGEOUS cards for my 2020 Sending Love One-for-One Card Swap. Today I have the pleasure of sharing some of them with you. Yay! In a series of several posts over the next couple of weeks, I will share each of these beautiful cards with everyone. There’s so much wonderful inspiration to share!

2020 Sending Love One-for-One Card Swap, day one, hosted by Brian KingI love these swaps because they showcase beautiful projects from card makers 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).

If you participated in the swap and don’t see the card you received here, please wait to comment about that card when it shows up on my blog – that way, the creator of that card will be sure to see your comments.

The collection of cards I’m sharing today might not all have current Stampin’ Up! products, but every card gives great ideas for color combinations, layouts, techniques – every project is sure to inspire you. Without any further ado, here is the first batch of your beautiful cards:

    • I must have been still asleep to forget to comment on Lisa’s sweet card with all of those rays of beautiful papers, what a lovely card, my friend.
      Lisa and Sonny are my pen-pals and we exchange cards regularly, I met both of them through Brian’s fabulous blog and these card exchanges so thank you so much for hosting these card swaps, my dear.

  31. Today I received my card from Diana D’Arminio . I must say it is amazing, how did Brian know my favorite colors of black & white with touch of red! Yet more importantly, the message was the best ! HOPE, Everything will be OK even if we can’t see what OK is yet.
