Swing Swap Card

I made this card for a swap with the Yahoo Card Swapper's Group.  The category was "Technique" and the choice this month was a "Die Cut Swing Card".  It was based on the following video . . .

For instructions go to SplitCoastStampers for the tutorial for Die Cut Swing Card.

You can see more examples on my Pinterest board called "Cardzzz . . .Swing/Flip".  Don't be confused "swing" and "flip" seem to be interchangeable.

She Sells Sea Shells

Here's my version of "By the Sea" pg 46 of CardMaker July 2010 issue.

I embossed the left side of a turquoise rectangle with Cuttlebug's embossing folder called "traffic jam".  I took an emery nail file and lightly sanded the ridges and then glued that piece to the card base.  Next I made three different cuts with "Labels Two" Nestabilities from Spellbinders.  Two were on the green and turquoise cardstock pieces and the last was the smallest size which I used on the seashell picture.  Before adhering the label pieces I cut two pieces of matching ribbons and tied them around the card's front piece, tied a knot and trimmed the ends.

Birthday Wishes 7

A beautiful and tranquil card has arrived from Canada and was sent by Betty.  The backgrounds of the designs are marbled and subtle and two bird die cuts have been added to the scene.
