Today I’m sharing the cards I made for our Candy Hearts August 2020 Team Meeting swap. I used products from the Snowflake Splendor Suite Collection: Snowflake Wishes Bundle (Snowflake Wishes stamp set and So Many Snowflakes Dies,) Winter Snow Embossing Folder, Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP,) Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper, and Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems – basically everything in the suite except the ribbon!
There were some pieces of the DSP left from another project, which dictated the size of the pieces on today’s cards. I used two different patterns on the card fronts, because didn’t have enough of the same pattern for all the cards, and I used a third pattern for the strip on the inside.

Today I’m sharing the card I made for the June 2020 Candy Hearts team card swap. I used the Pattern Play stamp set and Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper to create these simple and fun birthday cards. I love the cute stamped confetti over the scuffed up pattern of the DSP. Even though all the cards I made came from the same pattern of DSP, they all look a little different because some have more yellow than others, and because I stamped the confetti differently on each one. I posted a photo of two of the cards side by side below so you can see the difference between them.
By the way, this #simplestamping card is just stamps, ink, and paper! (Plus adhesive, of course.)

Today I’m sharing my swap card for the Candy Hearts April team meeting. The theme was weather. I used the Under My Umbrella bundle (Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch – available at 10% off only for another month!) the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder, and the Pretty Label Punch along with three different Designer Series Papers: Peaceful Poppies, Bird Ballad, and Birthday Bonanza. I think the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder looks like big rain drops. And the Pretty Label Punch looks very much like a cloud. The splotchy Pool Party background with vertical lines also adds to the gloomy, rainy feel – it’s from the Peaceful Poppies DSP.

These products will be retiring soon. Get them while you can, because they will start to sell out quickly.

Feb 14, 2020 | Cards, Gallery, Guest Stamper, Sale-A-Bration, Swaps |
A couple days ago I shared my January swap card made with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. You can see that post here. The swap theme was Sale-A-Bration. Coincidentally, Judy Newsome used the very same pattern from the same Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper for her swap cards, and out layouts are even very similar. You know what they say: great minds think alike! Judy, a member of my Candy Hearts team, lives in LaFayette, GA.
