Continuing my theme of using Designer series paper, here is another card from the shoe box swap, it features one of the designs from the ‘Cherry on the Top’ Paper stack – a very handy 6 x 6 pack that gives you 4 sheets of 12 double sided designs in lovely bright colors.

Shoe Box Swap ~ Stampin’ Up
Late last month I was invited to a shoe box swap – never done one before and was not at all sure what I had committed to…….. but it sounded interesting and as it turned out I had a great time.
Each person who joins the swap designs a card and prepares supplies for everyone ~ 15 in this case! – we then make up the cards and leave with lots of different cards and ideas. It was fun but making 15 cards in about 2 hours was a challenge!

Baby Shower Elephants and Chevrons!
A dear friend, and a member of my Stampin’ Up! team is about to become a grandmother! She held a shower for the mother-to-be a couple of weeks ago and I was fortunate to be invited.
The baby’s colors and his nursery are in gray and yellow with chevrons and elephants ~ perfect subject for some punch art! I love to do punch art and it is a while since I shared any.
Happy Leap Year Day…………..
Happy Leap Year Day ~ We don’t get the chance to say that very often! I know a couple of people born on February 29th – it is nice to be able to wish them a happy birthday on the actual day.
I shared a card the other day using the ‘What I Love’ exclusive Sale-a-bration stamp set. That card used lovely subtle shades – the card I have to share to day uses the big bold Melon Mambo and Tuxedo Black!!!

Multi~paneled using Birthday Blooms and Timeless Textures ~ Video
From time to time I am asked to make a card for a particular occasion – I love to do commissions! I ask a few questions about the recipient….. color preferences, ornate, lots of bling, gender etc and then I start to put it all together.
This is a recent commission – I have done this style before and it starts with a piece of cardstock 12 x 12 and thru scoring and folding its finished size in 6 x 6.
I have included the link to the original video at the bottom of the post…. enjoy!
