September Swap Cards

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I will continue my Fabulously Unique (FU) card share with you......and sharing the cards my fellow FU friends made for our September Swap Challenge.  Let me begin by sharing Ann's card with you..... 



Our color combination was Red and Yellow and our theme for September was to make a sympathy card.  Here is the card that Ann created........BEAUTIFUL CARD Ann!

Ann stamped seven yellow flowers from the new Stampin' UP! Flower Shop stamp set and added one single red flower to the front of her card.  The perfect little touch that Ann added to the center of each flower was a single pearl. 

Ann also added a punched butterfly to the front of her card and that helped create the PERFECT sympathy card to send to anyone.  WELL DONE ANN!

Here's the card that my good friend Kris made.......

She focused her color combination on a single portion of her card.  LOVE how Kris designed a sunset with a beautiful cardinal sitting on a branch for the focal point of her card.

And the simple message of "So Sorry" helps to create a work of art for this special sympathy card.  Nicely Done Kris!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share the challenge card I made for my September SaddleBrooke Stamper meeting.......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

August Swap Cards

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have two of my fellow Fabulously Unique (FU) gals cards to share with you.  These two cards were made for our August Swap Challenge.  Our color combination was brown, and blue and our theme was SUMMER.  Let's jump right in with the card that Kris made........ 

How stinkin' GREAT is this card!  Kris knocked this one out of the park with not only the color combination.....but the theme is KILLER!

I'm totally in LOVE LOVE LOVE with the beach chairs that Kris stamped.  But the real WOW FACTOR on this card is the paper piecing that Kris did to each of the chair covers.  She used all kinds of different DSP to cover each of the chairs.  ADORABLE KRIS!

And the other thing that Kris did to create the PERFECT SUMMER CARD was make the beach portion of this card almost touchable.  Well....Okay....It was touchable.  I seriously had to run my finger over the sand to feel it!  GREAT CARD KRIS!

And my other Fabulously Unique card share comes from my good friend Debbie!

Debbie stamped this "OH TOO COOL" grill on the front of her card and then used some deckle scissors to create a SUPER FUN edge to her stamped image piece and to her layered matted piece.

And the truly AMAZING section of this card is the brown paper that Debbie used on her card.  It's a re-cycled wrapping paper that Debbie used as a background DSP and it totally kicked up her card a whole new level.  SUPER AWESOME CARD DEBBIE!

 

So there you have it friends..........Two cards made by two of my extremely talented SaddleBrooke friends.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share the cards that my Fabulously Unique gals made for September.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 



SW Stampers September Swap Cards Part Three

 Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have the final two cards that I received at my September SW Stampers meeting.

First up is this BEYOND GORGEOUS card that my fellow SU demonstrator friend Cathy G created.

She used a technique (that she demo and taught us at our September meeting) that uses your Classic Ink Pads directly onto your Stampin' UP! embossing folders.

Cathy took her Flower Garden embossing folder and added Summer Starfruit and Sahara Sand Classic Stampin' Pad ink directly onto the inside of her folder.  She then added a panel of Whisper White card stock and positioned it directly into the folder and closed the folder and ran it through her Big Shot. 

The results.........The ink transferred onto the Whisper White cardstock and embossed the flower image from the folder.  Such a BEAUTIFUL RESULT that will be different each and every time you try this method.  Clean up is a snap.......just use a baby wipe on the folder or run your folder under water and your ink will be remove from the inside of your folder.  SNAP!  Thank You Cathy for teaching us this AMAZING and FUN technique!

And my final demonstrator card share is from my downline Abbie.

Abbie created several versions of this card in the new 2013-2015 In-Colors.  I just knew when Abbie showed us all the different versions of this card.........that I was going with the Strawberry Slush version.  Abbie used the Hearts Collection framelits to create her LOVELY stacking hearts........ 

And she used the 2013-2015 DSP In-Color Paper Stack to create her hanging flags.  She also used the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Punch to create a fun little dotted scallop piece that she secured her hanging flags from.

The Thinking of You sentiment that Abbie used is from the "Sassy Salutations" stamp set.  LOVE LOVE LOVE your card Abbie and will probably CASE this card for one of Hailey's upcoming Skype Sundays.  Thanks for sharing this beautiful card with me.

 

Thanks for joining me today.....I'll be back tomorrow to share two August FU (Fabulously Unique) cards with you.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

SW Stamper September Swap Cards Part Two

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have two cards that I received at my September SW Stampers meeting.  These cards were created by a Mother/Daughter Stampin' UP demonstrator team.  Let me share those two cards with you now........ 

My first card is by Teresa M.  She is the daughter portion of this Mother/Daughter demonstrator team.

Teresa used the "Mosaic Madness" stamp set and Mosaic Punch to create this bold and dynamic mosaic panel on her card.

She also used the "Modern Mosaic" embossing folder on her Rich Razzleberry cardstock and added some 3/8" Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin Ribbon to the bottom section of her card.  GORGEOUS CARD Teresa ........ I love the color combination and all the work that went into creating this card.

And this is the Mother portion of this Mother/Daughter demonstrator team........Isabel.

Isabel ran the top portion of her Whisper White cardstock piece through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder........and left the bottom section plan.  She also used the SUPER BEAUTIFUL 1" Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon and ran it across the front of her card. 

And the best part of this card is the Santa that Isabel stamped from the "Tag It" stamp set.  Such a FUN and FESTIVE tag for this card.  Love how Isabel used her Stampin' Write Black Marker to add some fun to Santa's belt and boots.  Thanks Isabel for swapping this card with me.

 

Thanks for joining me today......I'll be back tomorrow to share two more swap cards from my September SW Stampers meeting.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 



SW Stamper September Halloween Cards

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a couple more Halloween cards to share with you.  These are from my SW Stamper friends and fellow SU demonstrators.  Let's jump right in with my first card share...... 

This card is from my fellow demonstrator friend Karen R.  This was Karen's card swap at our September SW Stampers meeting.

She used the Tags 4 You stamp set.......and punched it out with the Label Bracket Punch.  She layered it onto the Word Window Punch (in Pumpkin Pie) and the Label Collections Framelits (in Basic Black). 

Karen also used the Chevron Embossing Folder to create a SUPER FUN background for her Pumpkin Pie base card mat and snipped-up a piece of the Witches' Brew DSP to create a fun flag that she hung below her "Trick or Treat" piece.  DARLING CARD Karen ....... And thank you for sharing your card with me.

And my next swap card was shared by my sweet demonstrator friend Edna (aka Alma). 

Edna created a great DSP bow banner for the top of her card.  She used a small panel of the Witches' Brew DSP and added some Washi Tape right through the center of her DSP and topped it off with a fun little Pumpkin Pie bow. 

And the final touch that Edna added was stamping three of the "Halloween Hello" images onto three tags and then stringing those tag from the DSP banner that she made for the top of her card.  SO STINKIN' CUTE Edna!  Thank you for swapping this card with me........I LOVE IT!

 

So there you have it friends.........The two Halloween cards that were swapped at my September SU Stampers meeting.  I'll be back tomorrow to share a couple more SW Stamper friends cards with you.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!



Halloweeen Cards Part SIX

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have the final day of my SIX PART SERIES of fun Halloween cards and projects I have received.   Today's card is the SaddleBrooke Stampers challenge card I made for last years October meeting.  Let's jump right in with that share.......

I created this super fun spinner card using lots of papercrafting supplies that I had in my stash.  I used the now retired Howl-o-ween Creeps SU Stamp Set.........

And a spider die-cut that I purchased at the Mesa Convention.  I punched the slot for my spider to spin across using the word window punch. 

To help my spider to spin........I used some dimensionals and a penny on the back of the spider and this little spider just rolled across the opening I made on the front of my card. 

 

Thanks for joining me for this mini Happy Halloween card series.  I'll be back tomorrow to share more Kards by Kadie creations with your.......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Halloween Cards Part FIVE

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have Day Five of a SIX PART SERIES of fun Halloween cards and project. Today I have one card I received and one card that was made at last years October Stamp Camp.  Let me begin by sharing the card I received......

This card was made by my fellow Stampin' UP! demo friend Sue Smedley.

She used the now retired peek-a-boo SU Bigz die to create her Halloween "boo" message.....

And when the two "O's" are opened up..........Sue used the small oval punch to create eyeballs for the inside of her "O's".  Such a FUN little card! 



My next card was one that we made at last years October Stamp Camp.  We used some now retired DSP and SU Lucy Limeade ruffled ribbon.

We also used the Bootiful Occasions stamp set and Stampin' Write markers to create a pretty amazing and fun Witches boot for the front of our card.

We also used the now retired SU Spider Web embossing folder to create a super fun texture to our Pumpkin Pie base card panel.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share the final day of my Happy Halloween cards and projects with you.......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for the share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Halloween Card Part FOUR

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have Day Four of a SIX PART SERIES of fun Halloween cards and projects I have received.   My first card up is a darling little card that my good friend Debbie made for me.

 This card just SCREAMS Happy Halloween!

The candy corn is a darling border panel for the bottom of Debbie's card...... 

And the witch that she stamped is sporting the perfect color of green. 

LOVE your Halloween card Debbie!

 This card was made by my good internet friend Donna. 

She used the retired peek-a-boo four window frame die and some retired SU Halloween DSP to create this card.

And she even stamped four super cute Halloween image into each of the four peek-a-boo window frames.

 But the real WOW is on the inside of Donna's card.  She printed off on her computer this super cute "You know you are too old to go Trick or Treating" message and adhered it to the inside of her card.  WAY TOO FUN Donna!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share more Halloween cards and projects with you........Hope you can make plans to come back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Halloween Cards Part THREE

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have Day Three of a SIX PART SERIES of fun Halloween cards and projects I have received.  My first card today is a fun little card I received from my good friend Opal Larkin. 

She used the retired SU Spider Web folder......and two retired SU Halloween stamp sets to create her card.



She created a fun base card by stamping small spiders around the entire outer edges of her card.

 And she also used the Spider Web embossing folder to create her great center focal point.

The real WOW FACTOR of Opals card is the way she used a punch to stamp her Trick or Treat sentiment and then she added it to the bottom of her card.   GREAT CARD Opal! 

And my second card share for today is this HILARIOUS card that was made by my good friend Ann LaPerre. 

 She created these AWESOME headstones.......

And how AMAZING are these names?

AWESOME AWESOME card Ann!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with more Halloween cards and projects to share with you.......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
