Amazing Convention Swaps

One of the fun things about the Stampin'Up! convention is all the amazing swaps.  Some ladies (and gentlemen) bring hundreds of swaps....yes hundreds of cards to swap and they come home with hundreds of swaps to share or CASE.  I only took 60 swaps, but I was blessed to be able to take pictures of my friends received swaps.....this was one of them.  It's hard to see, but the card is folded to create layers which in turn brings the scene to life!  I can't believe all the work that went into this swap....a lot of hand cutting!  I wish I could give credit to the person that made this amazing card, but I don't know who she is!

Enjoy,

Convention Card Swap #3

Created by Stacey Cogswell

This was a really fun card to create.  It has lots of layers, which I love the look of.  Its hard to see, but each layer has either texture or a stamped background.  I also like the way the two tone colors don't distract the eye when looking at the card.  The flower was created by heat embossing the stamped image (Triple Treat Flower Stamp) on the lighter color of paper.  The pink card uses Melon Mambo and the orange card uses Tangerine Tango embossing powders.  Again I used the Well Penned stamp set for the greeting.

The best part is how the card opens, but you'll have to wait until the July camp is see how it works. Yes, we're going to create this card, in pink, at the July camp.  Can't wait! 

Enjoy!
