Here are my swap cards for Jami's Occasions Mini Swap - I used
Sense of Time for both of them, but the second one is emphasis on the
Walk In The Park Designer Series Paper - which I love love love!
The first card I wanted a masculine feel, instead of the springy style I've been playing with. My swap card is actually a little different than this - apparently I did not take a photo of my final version before mailing it off? The card base is
Always Artichoke followed by a layer of
Sahara Sand which is distressed with the
Cutter Kit. Then I put a piece of
Not Quite Navy partially into my
Crimper and rolled it a few times. I inked the edges and the crimped lines direct-to-paper from my
Not Quite Navy ink pad. On my *real* swap card, I added two
Vintage Brads to the bottom and two to the left of the tag, on the
Not Quite Navy layer.
The
Sahara Sand tag uses a piece of
Textured card stock. I stamped the clock image from
Sense of Time in
Sahara Sand ink just off the right edge of the tag. I used my
Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the sentiment from this stamp set in
Not Quite Navy ink. Then a very thin strip of
Always Artichoke is wrapped around the bottom of the tag and secured on the back. I used a
Jumbo Eyelet and on my *real* swap card, I used a wide piece of
Twill Tape, tied off with a piece of
Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon. The wide
Twill Tape made the card fairly bulky, but I like that stuff! I adhered the tag with several
Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside of these cards, I stamped the clock image from
Sense of Time repeatedly in
Sahara Sand ink on a
Sahara Sand card stock liner. Finally, I layered a few strips of the
Not Quite Navy card stock and
Chocolate Chip card stock. If we get our own card back (I don't remember) I'll take a picture of my *real* swap card and you can tell me which version you prefer!

My second card is using these GORGEOUS pattern papers from
Walk In The Park DSP, in the new
Occasions Mini Catalog and the
Sense of Time stamp set again.
I used a card base of
Kiwi Kiss Textured card stock - I just love the little extra dimension that the textured card stock has - makes me want to touch it! The pattern paper I used is the same sheet, just the two different sides with the
So Saffron print on the top and the
Pink Pirouette print on the bottom of the card. I layered a piece of
So Saffron card stock and a piece of the
Baja Breeze pattern paper as an anchor. The
Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon is knotted and tucked under the
So Saffron strip. I edged the card front with paper piercing, using the
Mat Pack.
I stamped the other sentiment from
A Sense of Time in
Basic Gray ink onto a strip of
Whisper White card stock and layered it onto a mat of
Kiwi Kiss, punched with the
Ticket Corner Punch. This is adhered using
Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside of this card, I used a
Whisper White card stock liner and stamped the gears image in
So Saffron ink. The corner accents are another pattern from the
Walk In The Park dsp, punched with the
Photo Corner Punch.Stamps: Sense of Time
