Circle Saying Fun Fold - Chain Card Swap for Tracy

Welcome to the LAST Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Tracy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at Tracy's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 4th in the chain for Round 11 and have created a Diagonal Fun Fold with Circle Saying Bundle and Earthen Textures DSP. 

The rich deep earthy tones of the paper are so different to what I would normally choose...but I'm likely it!

Here's the card I CASE'd from Kayla - she created a very cool fun fold too.

Lets take a closer look at this card.

Creating this fun fold is easy, I've included a quick tutorial for you to use

Love that you can create x2 cards from 1 sheet of A4

A very on trend colour palette!

Quilted Blanket Technique with Delightfully Eclectic DSP STACK

Who doesn't love a warm hug from a cozy blanket. Todays card reminds me of just that. I want to share a super cool PAPER technique with you. I showcased this a couple weeks ago in a video, but look at the difference the embossing REALLY makes.  Lets take these 2 Thank You cards that I made using scrap strips from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP Stack (on sale NOW as it will retire soon!)  One has been embossed using Quatrefoil Tile (also retiring!) Embossing folder and the other hasn't.  Which is your favourite? 

Love this THANK YOU from Something Fancy - which will be available when the new catalogue begins on May 1st. 

So which is your favourite? EMBOSSED or 

 

.... or NOT? 
Personally I prefer the technique WITH. Its so easy too! Simply apply your DSP to your card front or label, run it through with an Emboss Folder of your choice and see the quilted, embossed, textured, detailed look appear like magic!

This colour combo reminds me of a cozy baby blanket, warm and cuddly

Enjoy the Rhythm with Drums and Guitars - Chain Card Swap for Nancy

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Nancy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at Nancy's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 8th in the chain for Round 9 and have created a music scene with the images from Enjoy the Rhythm.

I used the colours and layout from the card I was sent - see below - as my starting point. I then needed to decide which stamp set I was goijng to use. I needed something with at least 2 main images, and settled on Enjoy the Rhythm.

Here's the card I CASE'd from Tracy  - be sure to see the OG version here

Lets take a closer look at this card.  As you can see I ended up using ALL the imagaes 

I always try to carry the theme to the inside - it finishes the card off 

Definately a seaside range of colours but you can make it work with any stamp set!

Next Destination - Chain Card Swap for Monique

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Monique and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at Monique's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 6th in the chain for Round 8 and have created an upright card using my favourite 'sketchy' stamp set Next Destination and DSP paper from Earthen Textures Suite.

Its a very masculine based card in termsof its colour scheme, this monochomatic card could definately be made with a more feminine touch - these images look great in ALL colours. 

Here's the card I CASE'd from Maheswari

Lets take a closer look at this card. I used the above card design to create my layout of the DSP panels, I simply added Midnight Muse 'frames' and stamped the luggage image in Pebbled Path.

Do you use DSP to decorate the inside? I have so much paper I often never use it all, so this is a great way to use some of it up!

A simple yet strong colour combo
