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.

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.
