Swaps to share!

Greetings and Salutations! How's your week going? Mine is so far, so good! Lots going on this week. Tonight is my monthly stamp club meeting and I always look forward to that very much. We are a crazy bunch of women who meet at our friend Janice's house once a month to share our love of all things Stampin' Up! We eat, gab, stamp, gab some more, card swap, give Janice a hard time, stamp some more…you get the drift! We act like a bunch of silly girls and I adore it. We've been stamping together a long time. One of the things I always look forward to is seeing all the great swap cards.

I was having trouble getting some swap card mojo going so I started surfing the web looking for ideas. I knew I wanted to use the new Stampin' Up set called "Bliss." In my surfing I came upon this post by Shelli Gardner – the founder of Stampin' Up.  I used her layout and made some (if I do say so myself) cute swaps! Take a look!

Everything on this card is from Stampin' Up…down to the last tiny pearl! My all time favorite color from SU is Kiwi Kiss…I used it here with dark brown and Soft Suede. The new seam binding tape is just wonderful.

Here is Shelli's card that I got the idea from. Isn't it wonderful? I loved it right away! I will use this layout again for sure.  Everything about it is just shabby chic perfect!
 

Here are my little swappies all ready to go! I used liquid Tombow clear glue down the center of my butterflies to make it so their wings can pop off the page. I made some in three different colors so everyone can pick the one they want.
