Swap Card Bra & Panties

This one was made by Kimberly Johnson. Now I have made this one before they are so fun to do and the men love them. LOL I made one for a friend and he loved it, it was a Birthday Card. I did a faux tattoo on the rear cheek. You can do that using your printer and over head projector sheet. I have directions for that on my blog too.
Here is the front of the card.









And here is the back of the card. I love this one cause you have something on the back and front.

I will have another one to show tomorrow. I got 10 shaped cards all together so will show them to you all, one day at a time. Then I have another swap to share and will show that one also.

Two more Shaped Cards

The popsicle card is done by Kadie Labadie, I have yet to make one of these also. Aren't they cute. And are so easy to make they would be a quick card for a stamp camp. The ribbon goes up to the card and holds it closed.






And then we have the cup cake card this one was made by Kathy Logan. I just love this one so sparkly with the glittery icing. And love the cherries on top. I have wanted to get the pattern for this one for awhile as I couldn't get it to print to the correct size when I found it on the net. This is such a cute card. She really did a great job on this with the crimped cup cake bottom.

Hope your enjoying my swap shares.

Shaped Swap Card


This one is from Diane Smith, looks like she used a die cut for this card. Love it her detail and shading on this is just perfect. On the middle of the card she did a technique called faux wood. Beautiful job on this and one technique I have never tried yet. She also added brads between the flowers and on the bottom of both sides of the friend. This card also opens up. Such a neat idea. And love the added touch of the ribbon on top.


This card is done by Elizabeth Kratzer, she used a scallop to make her card. This card is so cute and small enough to fit in a 3x3 envelope to give as a gift card. Cute idea. Lots of layers on this one. She used a couple different punches and a eyelet in the center of the flower and also added a cut little ribbon to top it off. Super cute idea.
I so enjoyed this swap and was so excited to get it back. I love shaped cards anyway, they are different from the norm.

Shaped Swap Cards Received

These cards are from the Shaped Card Swap I was in. I got some fantastic cards in this swap, everyone did an awesome job. I will share 2 in this one.
This is one that Dar Yarowski"s. Isn't this just the cutest windmill you have ever seen. She has so much detail into it. The blades on the windmill go around too. Such a neat card. She has the blocks on the building cut out and glued on.
This next one is by DeDe Janzen. This one is so cute, the wings open with a message inside. Love how this turned out. She has glued on little wiggly eyes that move. And the wings are attached with black brads.

My Piggy Fam

Ok here is all the piggy's I made for the swap I was in. There is 12 little pigs here and you can see his tail. I didn't have any pink wire so I used red. His tail is sunburned. LOL
Hope you enjoy, my other post here. You will have to re size them, or they are way to big to fit in our envelopes. Here is the pattern.
These are so much fun to make and so easy. The lady that did the swap Lori, had a contest for the most unique pattern and I won! WooHoo! Can't wait to see my prize.
Hope everyone is have a wonderful day. It is really hot here in Central Minnesota, so we are going to the river to swim. Ok home to finish, we just got out to the river got in and it started to lightning out so we had to get out and come home. At least we was in long enough to cool off. Got home and the winds started to pick up and rain. My police scanner said a tornado touched down in a town near us but think it went down and right back up cause we was watching the rotation. It went down and right back up. Anyway things have settled down in my area now so I am back on and finishing getting this out.
Supplies used:
Pretty in Pink Card Stock

Sponge
Red wire 18 gauge
Plaid Flannel background stamp
White Gel Pen
Black Marker
Pretty in Pink Marker
Crystal Effects
Directions are pretty much self explanatory.

I Scream You Scream... We all Scream for Ice Cream

I bet you all thought I forgot about my blog and you my readers. I didn't I have been sick. Sinus headaches and just plain feeling blah!
I completed my swap with the little piggies so am going to share them with you this week. But for today I have the Ice Cream Cone card. I had seen these made and thought they was really neat. I made this card for my VC partner. I hope she enjoys it. Sounds like she loves chocolate as much as I do.
I found the choc. saying stamp at Joanne's Fabric in the dollar bin. Thought it went well with this card. Otherwise everything else is SU card stock. If you click on the Ice Cream Cone you can see that I used my fiskars trimmer with the scoring blade to make the cross hatches for the cone. I did every 1/2 inch. Makes the cone look more realistic. On the choc. chip card stock I used Crystal Effects to give it the glossy Ice Cream look.
Hope you enjoy today's project.
