When Pigs Fly

This card from the swap features a cute piggy! This pig stamp actually has wings but I think that it would be easy to add wings to a pig that didn't have them. Stamp with the same color as the pig and then add some blue to it. If you cut carefully, you should be able to make it look like it's all together. A cute way to make a pig fly! The pig is attached with a circle clip connecting the square box and the pig. You could also put the pig up in the air with a small spring behind it. That way it would be a little bouncy!

Feeling Blue



Here is another card from the humorous group of the swap. I love this sentiment.



Biggest Fan

Here is another card from the swap that I was in. This one was from the humorous/encouragement group. I'm going to be on the look out for this stamp. Love it!

I also love the way she did this card. The whole thing is on a beige base card with the opposite corners rounded. I think the way she rounded the opposite corners really gives it a good look. Then she took a little bit smaller brown cardstock for the first layer. I like the way she put 2 different coordinating patterned papers on the brown with a line through the middle. It's always great to be in a swap where the others participating are really talented!

Clay Rose on Birthday Card

I had fun playing with my new White Simply Pressed Clay from SU! I like playing with clay anyway & the SU! clay is perfect for cards & scrapbooking. You tear off a small piece. Drop a dot or two of reinker the color you wish or just do a light rub on your ink pad to pick up the color. Then you work the color into the clay to have a perfect color match for your projects. After you take it out of your mold, let it sit for about 24 hours to air dry.

If you haven't discovered Washi tape yet, I reccommend that you give it a try! SU! currently has 2 sets of 3 rolls each but it can be found in craft store everywhere! It comes in dozens of colorful designs. You simply peel off the amount that you  want to use & tear it off. It sticks right on most anything, paper, glass, etc.

Bee Well

Here's another get well card that I received in the recent swap I was in. This adorable card has a cute little honey bee that pops off of the card. The artist used a small spring behind the bee for it to pop. The wire is placed through the white cardstock background. Then that is layer on the blue. The spring is taped to the back of the bee.

I love the heart clip that is tied to the  twine wrapped around the card. She also used a honeycomb embossing plate for the background.
If you look closely, you can see that the honeybee's wings are made with 2 heart shaped punches. This card is just too cute. Super job!

Get Well Pills

A few weeks ago, I received my cards from a swap that I was in. I would post the name of the designer but everyone didn't sign their cards so I don't know who did which ones. Just thought that I would share them. I like her use of layers on this card. It gives it a lot of color.
