Swaps from a Meeting

I have not felt good for a few days.  So I have not felt like stamping but I will post a couple of cards from a swap that I participated in at a downline meeting.  I LOVE the "By the Tide" stamp set and here are 2 great swaps that showcase that stamp set well.

The first card is by Lou Ann Ramp.  I would never have thought to use this as a sympathy card but I think it works well.  I love the colors that she used.  The supplies that she used for this card were:

STAMP SETS:  By the Tide, Love and Sympathy
PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse
INK:  Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake
ACCESSORIES:  Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Sponge

The next card was made by Kelly Fidler.   The supplies that she used for this card were:

STAMP SET:  By the Tide
PAPER:  Pool Party, Island Indigo, Whisper White
INK: Island Indigo, Versamark
ACCESSORIES:  Pool Party EP, Heating Tool, 1" Circle Punch, Island Indigo Baker's Twine, Pearl Jewels, Dimensionals

I like this card as well.  I think both women did a wonderful job.  Both cards could be used for a man or woman.  I am going to rest now and hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.  Enjoy the day!

Mocha Sympathy

This is another Sympathy card I received from another side-line.  Susan sent me this card.  What a beautiful card that uses only DSP, cardstock and only the sentiment is stamped.  What a quick, easy, and elegant card it is to make.  


The supplies used for this card were:


PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Mocha Morning Specialty DSP, Very Vanilla
INK:  Basic Black
STAMP SET:  Love and Sympathy
ACCESSORIES:  Black Satin Ribbon, Wide Oval Punch, Designer Frames Embossing Folder, Dimensionals


I love the stamp set "Love and Sympathy.  It has the most beautiful sentiment which goes inside the card.  That was one of the first stamp sets that I ordered from the new catalog.  I use it all the time for my sympathy cards.  


Today is another busy day.  We are going over to the hall for the wedding for the last time before the wedding.  Take over what needs to be there and check to make sure everything will be there as planned. Enjoy your day!
