Shoebox Swap 3: Sneak Peek!

This is the last of the posts from the Shoebox Swap. And today's cards primarily feature brand spankin' new products never before seen on this blog, because they're in the new catalog!

The thing about a shoebox swap is you don't necessarily have the designer right there to help you. I didn't see the stapler that was used to attach the vellum to this card, which gives it a little extra punch of cool, but I really like this card!


Designed by Elizabeth Bellville

Supplies: (to the best of my memory/guessing ability)
Stamps: Simply Stars, Banner Greetings
Ink: Real Red, Smoky Slate
Paper: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, card stock, Pool Party Textured card stock, Vellum
Accessories: Real Red Stitched grosgrain ribbon, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Big Shot

What a fun card this one is:

Designed by Holly Legare

Supplies: (to the best of my memory/guessing ability)
Stamps: Really Good Greetings
Ink: Pear Pizazz, Night of Navy, Melon Mambo & Island Indigo markers
Paper: Gingham Garden DP, Very Vanilla & Night of Navy card stocks
Accessories: Daffodil stitched grosgrain ribbon, Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framelits

And this one is soft and pretty:

Designed by Jolene Harris

Supplies: (to the best of my memory/guessing ability)
Stamps: Label Love, A Round Array
Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso
Paper: Soho Subway DP, Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla card stock,
Accessories: Artisan Label Punch, 7/8 Inch Scallop Circle Punch, Big Shot, Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

This one had a technique... a bit of baby wipe was pinched between the small business clips you find in the current (but not new!) catalog. Then you put a drop of Crushed Curry on one, a drop of Daffodil Delight on another and a drop of So Saffron on the third. Scrub them across the dp, darkest to lightest, then roll the wheel over the inked part!
