Team Swap

My team, Southern Stars, met on Saturday afternoon and I wanted to show you the cards created for our traditional swap.  The theme was birthday cards so really any card would do.  The first two are from the suite, BY THE BAY, on page 22 in the Mini Catalog.  I am so proud of being a part of the development of this stamp set and love seeing the variety of beautiful cards produced!  So exciting!

3. Adhere your four pieces of DSP to inside of card at top and bottom. Showing both sides of DSP

4. Fold the Basic White and burnish with bone folder.

5. Lay out the images you will be using (the three Puffins & cake) and measure where you will want to place them. Measure with a ruler and draw lines for the depth you want. For this card, I used a 3/4″ depth for the first cut, then a 1-1/4″ depth and finally and 1/2″ depth. As you play with making these cards, you will figure out where you want to place them. (see picture)
