Incredible Royal Swaps – Day 3

I love my InKing Royalty team – my talented and generous team members share projects they’ve made in our InKing Royalty Facebook group (a fun group of supportive stampers who’ve signed up with me or the members in my first and second levels). There’s nothing like receiving a card in the mail, though,

Last month I hosted a card swap with my team to share exciting projects and creative inspiration with fellow team members. Participants designed a card with current Stampin’ Up! products and sent me 10. In return, they each received 10 cards in return and a little gift.

In case you missed some of my previous posts with swaps, you can see them here:

Today I’m excited to share the last batch of amazing cards from the swap cards I received. Some are brand new stampers, and others have been stamping for years. I hope you’ll leave a comment to let them know how much you love their projects.

Diana Gibson

This is the second card swap Diana has participated in since she joined my Stampin’ Up! team – and I’m as blown away by this beauty as the first one she shared. It looks simple and sweet, but there are some great techniques and design elements in Diana’s card. Diana pairs a beautiful butterfly and sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies Bundle with the Wildflower Designs Dies – love the combination! Here’s Diana’s swap card:

Key Ingredients: Sketched Butterflies Bundle (#163492), Thoughtful Wishes stamp set (#163305), Wildflower Designs Dies (#163333), Country Lace Designer Series Paper (#163415)

Jo Gamma

Jo’s swap card features stamped images and papers cropped with the Country Birdhouse Bundle, sure to be one of the most popular sets from the new catalog, and I love what she did with it! Her delightful bird and flowers are a sweet accent for the bird house, and I love the colors she chose. Here’s Jo’s swap card:

Key Ingredients: Country Birdhouse Bundle (#163401), Country Woods Designer Series Paper (#163393)

Lisa Ellis

Not only does Lisa share the beauty of the the Enduring Beauty Stamp Set/Dies and the coordinating decorative masks used to color the flowers and leaves, but she showcases some gorgeous, new colors in the swap card she shared. With a Blending Brush and the Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks, Lisa built her flowers with beautiful colors (I spy Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock) and then layered the flowers over Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash and Daffodil Delight. Here’s Lisa’s swap card:

Key Ingredients: Enduring Beauty stamp set (#162670), Enduring Beauty Dies (#162672), Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks (#162673)

Michelle Dadson

At first glance, Michelle’s gorgeous Father’s Day card is very simple, but there’s a lot of great detail and technique on this beauty! Michelle carefully stamped the trio of ducks from Feathered Flight over and over on the Pebbled Path top layer of this card. She then framed the layer and added it to a card base. I love the intricate layering. Here’s Michelle’s swap card:

Key Ingredients: Feathered Flight stamp set (Online Exclusives stamp set that recently sold out), Gone Fishing stamp set (#161535)

Renae Novak

Renae shares a new card almost every day in our InKing Royalty group – we’re very lucky! She made a beautiful arrangement of flowers with the Country Flowers Bundle, new in the 2024 Annual Catalog, and showcased them with texture from two great embossing folders – So Swirly and Timber 3D. Here’s a look at Renae’s beautiful swap card:

Key Ingredients: Country Flowers Bundle (#163411), So Swirly Embossing Folder (#163791), Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406)

Tara Wolf

Tara’s stunning thank you card adds a bright zinnia to a paintbrush. What a fun idea to mix the flower from Flowering Zinnias with the paintbrush from the Trusty Tools stamp set! Not only did she beautifully color her images, but she layered the flower and brush with gorgeous layers and textures. Here’s Tara’s swap card:

Key Ingredients: Flowering Zinnias Bundle (#163480), Trusty Tools stamp set (#163374), Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414)
