Today I’m sharing the rest of the swaps received the other Sunday at the Stars team training down in Crawley.
I have quite a few to share, so without further ado here they are.
From Gill Moore
Gill made a whole card and it’s a fabulous tri-fold card which has two oval windows which were die cut in it. She used the Lovely Wishes stamp set and Pool Party ink and cardstock. A very pretty combination. She used two oval dies at a time when cutting the Pool Party borders and the smaller of the two was then used to cut the oval in the Whisper White cardstock.

bottom row Pip Todman
Kim used black embossing powder to emboss the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set onto Thick Whisper White cardstock. I’m not too sure how she coloured the butterfly – it looks like it has been water coloured and then some Clear Wink of Stella applied too.
Anne used the Petal Palette stamp set for the flowers on the Stitched Shapes white circle. The background was sponged using the Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks. There are some silver foil behind the white circle which were die cut using the Petals & More Thinlit Dies.
Pip’s card features the Heartfelt Bloom stamp set which is one of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets available for Free with a £45 spend. The image is stamped in Wisteria Wonder and is matted onto some Bermuda Bay cardstock. Underneath the image is a strip of Whisper White cardstock that’s been embossed using one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. The little Bermuda Bay heart is from the Brights Enamel Shapes.
Going Clockwise from top left – Rachel Berry, Natalie O’Shea and Sara Sayers
Rachel used the Southern Serenade stamp set for her card. The flower image has been stamped in Basic Black and then over stamped using the lace stamp from the same set in Wisteria Wonder. I’m not sure what green ink she used to colour the leaves, but I’m thinking she used a Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. The sentiment and lace detail at the bottom are stamped in Elegant Eggplant.
Natalie’s card features a sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set along with some of the Picture Perfect Party 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The Bermuda Bay and Pool Party cardstock have been embossed using the Simple Stripes Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
Sara’s card features a strip of Basic Black that has been embossed using the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (this folder seems to be very popular with the stars). The Whisper White circles have been stamped using images from the Yay You stamp set. This is one of the Hostess Sets available in the Spring/Summer Catalogue. The sentiment comes from that set too.
Left to Right – Rebecca Willmore, ? and Jan Brown
Rebecca made a really cute box/bag – she’s so clever with these things. She used the Lots of Love Box Framelits Dies (simply cut down) and then decorated using some Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper. I’ve probably over simplified the explanation and I know that it would have taken Rebecca quite a while to make each one. Watch this space as I’m going to give this one a try.
I’m not too sure who made the calender because there is no name on it. It features paper and stamps from the Tutti Frutti Suite together with some Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon.
Jan made a cute will corner bookmark and turned the bird from the Petal Palette stamp set into a robin. I’m not sure where the DSP comes from so I can’t enlighten you on that one. My first thought that it’s from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper but I don’t have any to compare it with.
Left to Right – Sharon Fuller and Helen Winstone
Last but not least are the swaps from Sharon and Helen.
Sharon used both the Waterfront and Amazing You stamp sets. Amazing You is another Sale-A-Bration stamp set and Sharon used it to frame the image stamped using the Waterfront stamps. A very clever idea.
Helen made a cute little apron using the Apron of Love stamps and dies. She even put a magnet on the back of it so that it can be put on the Fridge. I love it and now have to find somewhere I can put it because it won’t stick to my stainless steel fronted fridge.
I hope you have been inspired by the swaps and if you have any questions about a particular one let me know and I’ll do my best to answer it.
Happy stamping.
