Libby and I crafted one last time before our holiday cards had to be mailed. Libby crafts so much faster than I so she ended up with 4 cards to my 2. Here is the inspiration pin we used. -> link to pin. Enjoy!
This is the hardest swap to fix up. So, Instead I am taking it as a challenge to make another as close to the original as possible because it is so different than any card I would make. See what you think and let me know!
Today's card required a more balanced stamped background which I stamped sped up in the video. I did not add any additional paper elements like I did on day 6. Instead, I dressed it up with trim and bling. What do you think? Tomorrow will be my final swap which needs alot of work, be sure to check it out!
Notice the gold trim? That is a new trim in the January-June Mini catalog!
I enjoyed playing with this swap. Sadly I did not get an image of it as it came to me. The green foil I added. You can still see the progression of the card as I added more elements to really dress it up. Tomorrow's card is another swap stepped up. Enjoy!
I am so glad I found this unassembled swap! So many people I know will love it. I discuss why I did not assemble it back in July. I make the change I wanted and walkthrough the assemble in real time with parts sped up so it isn't too long. Enjoy!
Today's card is a swap that I took apart and re-did the focal layer to add more balance and interest. I use two pre-order products so the trim and the dots will not be on the supplies list. Enjoy!
This is a masculine winter card I made while crafting with Libby a short while back. I did add trim and rhinestones, but feel it is still masculine enough I will send it to one of the many male family members. What do you think? Will they be offended in any way?
Time is running short for me to finish up all the needed winter holiday cards so I can address and mail them. To keep me on schedule, I will be posting one WICW final countdown card each day through Dec 8. I might need to create a couple more, but on the 8th we move back to the Orlando Thousand Trails with horrible, almost non existent wifi.
During our last stay at Orlando, in November...
Libby surprised me with a care package full of goodies! Here's a video sharing all the fun loots, Enjoy!
What a challenting kit!

The challenge was to turn these very unique supplies into A2 card shapes.
