Holiday Mini Ink Bug Swaps

October 18, 2015

I received some happy mail this week! You may recall the Spooky card I made for Julie's Ink Bugs swap. Below is a quick phone snap of the cards I received in return. Most Swaps used products from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Holiday mini catalog. I love swapping by mail.

Quick 2-color watercolor! I stamped the large orange image in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto cold press watercolor paper. I painted a quick wet wash and then dropped in color into those washes. This stamp set is called Citrus Blooms. 🍊 The card base was created by cutting strips of green cardstock and alternating colors to create diagonal stripes. #cardmaking #stampinup #citrusbloomsbundle #citrusbloomsstampset #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingideas #cardmakers #cardmakingreels

I’m loving all the green stripes on this fruity card. This card features the Citrus Blooms stamp set and I’m digging the bold contrast of the stripes behind the painterly image of oranges. 🍊 Play along with our @global_design_project theme challenge this week.

Stamp, stamp, stamp, punch, punch punch, love, love, love. A little repetition never hurt … here’s a peek at how I created this card for the USE YOUR STASH insta hop using an old word stamp set ‘Labels to Love’. Our theme this month is WORDS. I used a small dab of liquid glue to attach the bow. It would not stick! I weighed it down with a clear block until it stuck. Handy tip. #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaking #cardmaker #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels #cardmakingreel #labelstolove #lovecard

USE YOUR STASH! This Instagram hop is all about digging into and using your old craft supplies—aka your stash! This month’s theme is WORDS. I’ve held onto many word stamp sets over the years, especially ones I designed. The LOVE image I used here comes from the 'Labels to Love' stamp set that was released in 2016-2017. This was a simple card to create. I stamped the LOVE image in multiple colors, punched them out, and arranged them in a grid pattern on the card front. Do you recognize that old tag punch? It's a classic that will never leave my stash—haha! To make the larger greeting, I die-cut the words LOVE and YOU and combined them. I added a bow from a 50-yard spool of black and white baker's twine that is seemingly endless. Want to see what my friends have created using products they could not give up? Me too!

Building itty bitty butterflies from ombré glitter cardstock for this birthday card following #gdp482 sketch - Products from the Beautiful Butterfly bundle. #stampinup #beautifulbutterfliesbundle #cardmaking #cardmaker #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingideas #cardmakingreels #cardmakingreel #butterflycard @global_design_project

Butterfly birthday! I used the sketch from @global_design_project #gdp482 challenge to create this card using the Beautiful Butterflies bundle. I followed the sketch fairly close. No thinking required. The glittery butterflies are cut from Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper, in dark to light. I love this paper. • How way to play along with @global_design_project : • Post your creation to Instagram or Facebook • Tag @global_design_project • Use the challenge Hashtag #gdp482 Are you ready for some BONUS inspiration on this Monday?
