Easter-Spring Swap

Yeah, my swaps are done.  Our Luv2Stamp Group has swaps each season.  I participated in the Christmas swap and now the Spring-Easter Swap.  Here's my creation:

These are so much fun to do.  Once you get your idea created it takes no time at all to create the swap squares.  I used in-colors, Gumball Green and Primrose Petals for my design.  I ran the Primrose Petals CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and punched with the 1-1/4" Square Punch . The Gumball Green square was cut using the Scallop Square Punch.  I sponged the edges of the Primrose Petals square with Chocolate Chip Ink.  The little tulip is from the stamp set Cross My Heart.  I inked the flower with Primrose Petals stampin' writer and the stem with Gumball Green stampin' writer.   I punched it with the 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch, sponged the edges with Chocolate Chop ink and attached with a dimensional.  I added a little Rhinestone that was colored with a Sharpie.  Hope everyone likes my trade?

Birthday Cards

I created two Birthday Cards with the same design (one for my Hubby and one for my Nephew). 

I used Crumb Cake CS for the base and ran some Bashful Blue CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder for the next layer.  A little Crumb Cake Seam Binding for the ribbon.  I used the Ovals Collection Framelits to cut another piece of Crumb Cake CS and mounted my Happy Birthday To You Stamp from the Cross My Heart Stamp Set which was also cut with one of the Ovals Collection Framelits and sponged with Crumb Cake Ink Pad.  My Hubby loved his card and I'm hoping my Nephew gets his in the mail today (he's a Groundhog Birthday Boy! LOL!!!).
