Circle themed card & topper

Silly me made this circle card for a swap, only to be reminded once I was pretty much finished that the swap was actually for a card topper and not the actual card..... ehhhh....
So anyway, this is my OPEN card swap for the month.. lol
Hopefully my swap partner still enjoys it anyway.

Something a bit different and bright with all the fun colours.  



Circle card topper


Ok, now here is the actual Circle Card topper that I was suppose to make in the first place. lol
I still stuck with most of the design elements as I had on the card, with fun diecuts and acetate. Plenty of dots and bright colours.
I added the two note tags on top as the person receiving this might actually be able to add a sentiment and hopefully forward it on in the future.

Insect tags

I'm so lucky to have so many different collections in my craft room, (even after culling almost half), that I am able to make ALL of these projects that I've share so far this year without having to spend any $ on new supplies.
This also means that I am able to bring the spotlight back to some older collections and remind everyone to USE YOUR SUPPLIES.


The first I'm sharing is using the Seize the Day collection from Uniquely Creative.

Fairly simple tag with some fussy cut added pieces. Snails and Ladybugs make this the cutest little garden scene.




Next tag up was made using Bottlebrush collectable pieces from Kaisercraft.




Keeping the Kaisercraft collections flowing, I grabbed out this incredibly OLD collection "Junglebug".... Honestly, I would guess it has to be at least close to 15yrs old. lol

But seriously, how good is it that I'm using up these old supplies!
I used the 6x6 paper pad for this tag.

Features plenty of little bugs... Rhino Beetle, Snail and Butterflies

Frame clusters

 


I was on an absolute roll with making swaps last month. I actually put these together at the same time as the Pocket Windows cause I wanted to use the same collections.

Frames with Clusters

Vintage Coastal - Simple Stories
White Christmas - Kaisercraft
Happy Place - Asuka
I honestly believe I could sit here all day and put these together. It was very relaxing and since the collections all matched, I didn’t have to put too much thought into coordination. lol.

Window Pockets with a Twist


Window Pockets with a twist.

How adorable are these!!
The pockets have a window cut out. I haven’t seen these before, and had so much fun putting them together.
You can add acetate or vellum over the window if needed, but I didn’t need to.
I used three different collections for these projects.
Vintage Coastal - Simple Stories
White Christmas - Kaisercraft
Happy Place - Asuka
Each pocket has their own tag included with a couple of small pieces I added in, incase the swap partner would like to use these in their future projects.

Birthday batch cards

As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently re joined / re activated myself in one of the local Aussie card swap groups. 

In the address list, there are also some birthdates attached. Not everyone, but majority of the group have their dates listed, so I thought it would be nice to send a little card to each member for their special day.

I know myself that cards are a now becoming a limited and sparce thing shared between loved ones. I also I know that as we are usually the one's that are doing the gifting, we tend to be forgotten. 

So, with this in mind, I wanted to hopefully be able to spread a little smile when people that are not normally on the receiving end of the cards to get one in the mail.

Fold Up Pocket with Side Tucks - swaps

 This was another fun swap with a cool little twist addition. 

Fold Up Pockets with Side Tucks

These were another great project to fill up with embellishments for my swap partner to use. 


I used three different Kaisercraft 6.5x6.5 paper pads. One for each. It was so good to just add collectables in the pocket slots and have everything match easily without too much thinking. 
Since this swap didn't have a specific theme, I chose to make all 3 different themes.

Nautical Tags - swaps

 This month while getting reconnected to my creativity I've signed up to some card swaps with an online group.

This was is for Tags with a NAUTICAL theme. 

I used the Scrapbook Fantasies - Nautical Dreams collection.

Matchbook Pockets - swap

I'm back today to share project number 2 for the 6 swaps I signed up for this month. 

These are Matchbook Pockets. 

I'm not sure why they are called that, I know them as something slightly different, but I love the idea that it is an old style matchbook slide in for the top to secure it. 

I used a Prima collection for this one. I made 3 to start with, which are the required amount, but had a little bit leftover so throw the forth one together to use up the supplies. YAY!
