More Spring Fling Swaps

Hi there!  Back today with the last of the swaps from Spring Fling held last Saturday.  Yesterday I was in a rush to get out the door and didn't mention an important fact.  These swaps were just given to me (and a couple of others) without reciprocating!  A few of us volunteer Spring Fling helpers didn't have time to make swaps, or at least, that was my reason.  These gracious ladies gave us their swap card anyway!  Stampers are the BEST!  Now for a little info on the above swap, which was from Rebecca Schuder.  She used Delicate Doilies for a tone on tone effect in Midnight Muse.  The sentiment from the Best of Birthday set was heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  Love the Pistachio Pudding and Midnight Muse colors together!  The ruffled trim and Delicate Designs embossed border really add a feminine touch.
Next up is a Minion by Peggy Gebhardt.  She made him using Stampin' Up! Circle Framelits. 

Cute!!!  I've been wanting to make this character.  Now I have a sample!  Thanks Peggy!

The last swap is from Tamara Lobb.  She has used the new Hardwood background stamp.  It can

be found in the 2014 Occasions Catalog.  What a perfect backdrop for this adorable owl made from an oldie but a goodie punch!  The sentiment is from a stamp set called Just Sayin' and cut out with the coordinating Word Bubbles Framelits.  Both items are from the Occasions Catalog.  Tamara stamped the chevron pattern (Tape It stamp set) onto the 7/16" Natural Trim and embellished it with stacked Naturals Designer Buttons.  Love it! 

There are a gazillion things on my to-do list.  Must sign off now.  Thank you so much for stopping in for a visit today!

Mosaic Peacock

Hi there and happy Monday to you!  I spent some time in the studio over the weekend and this card was one of the projects.  The Crumb Cake panel was in my scrap bin - something I had brayered and threw aside.  I pulled it out and used the new Modern Mosaic embossing folder that will be available in the new Stampin' Up! catalog May 31st!  Love it!  I double embossed the panel with the Delicate Designs embossing folder following Dawn Olchefske's tutorial, which can be seen here.  Dawn didn't use any tabs on her Big Shot.  I found it necessary to use at least one tab and build up my shim for the Designer Frame embossing folder for my machine.  Each Big Shot is different so you'll have to experiment.  The peacock image (a single stamp from the World Treasures set) was stamped in Midnight Muse and colored in with Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green markers.

Sorry for the quick post but I have errands to run today.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
