January Swap Card

 Well, Keri and I are going to have another crack at getting through an entire year swapping one card every month. We make one for ourselves and one to swap. 

I kicked things off with a Christmas card. Yes, in January. By the time Christmas rolls around, I'm always too busy to sit down and make cards and I've always wanted to use this stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I even tried some stenciling with Distress Ink Oxide. One card at least will be ready to mail out this year.

Keri used a stamp set that she has had for awhile also. Oh Deer by Neat and Tangled. (She's organized and has her stamps labelled and sorted.) Not me, I'm afraid.

It's nice to keep the challenge going. At least I attempt some crafting time each month. Wish up luck for a 12 month streak!

August Swap Card

I can't believe I'm typing that. How did we get so far behind? My fault entirely. Too much travel and other stuff going on but I promised I'd catch up and hopefully we will be snowed in a few times this winter so I have to stay home.

Keri did a sweet Fall card...

I can no longer recall what materials she used but isn't it so Fallish and colourful?

I used Neat and Tangled. It's a die set and stamp set called Awesome and I used vellum behind. Clever,eh? It has the blocked outline of the word which always looks good.

And I finally used some washi tape. This is a great way to add some colour quickly to a card. And fast.
So there you go. Another swap card and another blog post.

PS. This is my 600th post and my first post in 2020.
