Hello Stampin’ Friends,<\/p>\n

Do I have a treat for you!!!\u00a0 To stay sane (sorta), I had a card swap with my club members and seven people participated.<\/p>\n

\"\"I can attest to the ‘sorta sane’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

For me or for you, Sal?\u00a0 I am going a bit stir crazy and not because I am bored.\u00a0 I listed all the projects I have started and all the cleaning and organizing I would like to get done and I could be quarantined for a long long time and not get them all done;\u00a0 but I am just not motivated.\u00a0 Sigh…….<\/p>\n

\"\"I know, let’s run around the block and get your blood pumping.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

There is lightening and rain out there, Sal.\u00a0 How about let’s show our friends the cards we’ve made and received.<\/p>\n

March’s Paper Pumpkin was one of the best ever!\u00a0 It made three card styles x four each.\u00a0 I thought the boot one was kind of odd until I realized that it would perfectly represent the coffee club I have with my neighborhood ladies. I put the initials of each of the neighbors on the top of the boots and left one blank for our dear friend who moved away.\u00a0 I cut away the boot around the leggings and used a greeting from Fable Friends.\u00a0 The kit even had little raindrop embellishments (on the umbrella).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I changed the greeting on the second Paper Pumpkin card and once again used the ‘Fable Friends’ stamp set for the “Happy Spring”. The flower bling is from Frosted Flower Embellishments (#148782) and I covered the heart with Glittery Crystal Effects from the Holiday catalog- you do have some left don’t you?\u00a0 It dries to a beautiful glossy finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The third card I pretty much made per instructions:<\/p>\n

\"\" Gasp!<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay,\u00a0 not quite, I added rain drops which the instructions didn’t call for.\u00a0 Satisfied, Sal?\u00a0 The flowers have the little rain drop embellishments but they didn’t show up in the picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lined envelopes are like icing on a cake!<\/p>\n

Using the stamps in the Paper Pumpkin kit I created my swap card:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 Paper Pumpkin had Meerkats????<\/a><\/p>\n

No, Sal, those are from\u00a0 ‘The Gangs All Meer’.\u00a0 The “Miss You” greeting is from the ‘Enjoy Life’ stamp set.\u00a0 The tape measure is narrow silver ribbon from my stash.\u00a0 The boots were stamped on gingham paper and fussy cut.\u00a0 I loved the basket of flowers in the Paper Pumpkin stamp set.\u00a0 It was a two time stamping set so I stamped the entire basket in Soft Suede and then stamped Crushed Curry to color the flowers.\u00a0 What fun!!\u00a0 I colored the leaves with Call Me Clover Stampin’ Blends and the background with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. If I made it again I would stamp the basket directly on the blue and then mask it to stamp the clouds and ground around it.\u00a0 That would have saved some coloring and fussy cutting.<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/h3>\n

Base:\u00a0 Balmy Blue, 8 1\/2 X 5 1\/2 scored at 4 1\/4<\/p>\n

Border Layer:\u00a0 Soft Suede,\u00a0 5 3\/8 X 4 1\/8 (make 2- one for the inside)<\/p>\n

Top:\u00a0 Balmy Blue, 5 1\/4 X 4\u00a0 stamped with clouds, a ground stamp and raindrops<\/p>\n

Inside: Whisper White 5 1\/4 X 4, sponged just a tad with the sponge roller, then stamped greeting and meerkat in soft suede<\/p>\n

Greeting:\u00a0 Whisper White 2\u00a0 X 1 1\/2 cut with the rectangle stitiched framelit to 1 1\/4 X 1 5\/8, sponged with Balmy Blue and decorated with raindrops from leftover pieces of the Paper Pumpkin. Pop this up with dimensionals.<\/p>\n

Boots:\u00a0 2 X 2 1\/2 gingham paper in desired colors (note:\u00a0 the Designer Series Paper shown at the top of Page 168 has gingham in all the different color families.)<\/p>\n

Meerkats and flower basket:\u00a0 Whisper White 2 X 4, stamped in soft suede and colored with Stampin’ Blends.<\/p>\n

Ribbon: 3 3\/4″, marked every 1 1\/2 cm with a black journaler so it looked like a ruler.\u00a0 I attached each end under the meerkat arms with a glue dot.<\/p>\n

I still smile every time I look at those little meerkats!!<\/p>\n

I received another card from Jo that keeps me smiling:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stamp is from the retired ‘Postcard Pals’ stamp set, isn’t it just the cutest?!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 You’re not thinking of replacing me with an otter, are you? <\/a><\/p>\n

Of course not!\u00a0 Let’s look at swaps.<\/p>\n

Some swappers made differing cards so there will be two cards with the same name on some.\u00a0 Thank you, Heather, for putting the names on the card pictures and sending them to the group.\u00a0 We had fun talking about them during a Zoom meeting.<\/p>\n

We could all use this one in a frame on our walls:<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aren’t all those beautiful cards wonderfully inspiring?!\u00a0 Such talented, creative crafters.\u00a0 Thank you, friends.<\/p>\n
