Mail destination: California

1. You will be notified of the hostess’ mailing address, via email. If you wish to obtain the mailing address early, please contact brenda @ cardscraps dot com.

2. You will receive 1 (one) card back from the swap.

3. Don’t write on the inside of the card…that way the recipient can personalize it, if they wish.

4. Please do your very best work and create a top-notch card. This means that the images should be nicely stamped, no smudges, straight cut paper and neatly layered elements and embellishments that are affixed securely.

5. Scan or photograph your Card Art, because you should post it in the card art gallery at Card Art Swaps - My Photo Gallery. Be sure to denote the card ID code info in your keywords. If you need to know how to post to the gallery, you can go to our Resources section and find the tutorial on Posting to the Gallery and also Resizing Your Photo.

**The card you are swapping and appropriately sized envelope if over/under 4.25” x 5.5”

**A self-addressed stamped envelope if you live in the US. If you live outside of the US, you will need to send a self-addressed envelope and $2 US to cover the return postage. Use an oversized envelope. Suggested size to use is approx. 6 inches by 9.5 inches, which the USPS recognizes as letter sized mail, thus less postage cost.

**A list of supplies you used in your cards. Credit for digital backgrounds or elements. Be sure to denote which swap your card is for.

7. Once your card is in the mail, then you will post in the applicable forum thread ( Card Swaps - Card Scraps Forums ) that it is on the way and the date mailed.

8. Once the hostess receives all the cards, she will swap them out and send them out to the participants in the envelopes provided. You will also be notified in the applicable forum thread that the swaps have gone out.

Now that you have read all the details….who wants to make some cards and swap with other CARDScraps members?

If you have any questions please post them in this thread.

Happy Cardmaking!

Critters from the New Holiday Mini

cs_admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:41:31 GMT

Well if you haven’t viewed the new 2010-2011 Holiday Mini Catalog yet, you’re in for a treat! Here’s a cute little card made with the new Merry Crittermas stamp set. This is such a sweet little set, full of all sorts of little woodland creatures decked out for the holidays.

If you zoom in, you should be able to see all of the sparkle on this little card! I used Smooch Spritz on the scalloped circle, designer label and the snowflake. I then used some of the Shimmer Paint on the textured snowflakes created by the new Northern Flurry Textured Embossing Folder on the Candy Cane Christmas designer paper.

Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping

More Elegant Soiree

cs_admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:14:51 GMT

Today I’m back with the last card that the ladies at the Albemarle Nursing Home will be creating next month. This one is the simplest of the three. I try to vary the levels of difficulty for them. We don’t want them to get bored and only do super simple cards, but then we don’t want to overwhelm them with three difficult cards either.

The great thing about this one and the first one, they can change up the sentiment if they’d like since it uses the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and there are TONS of different sentiments in that set.

This one also uses the new Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which coordinates perfectly with this set. And although it’s not meant to go with it, I think the Beautiful Wings Embosslit butterfly goes with looks pretty darn good with it as well.

Below you can see all three of the cards they’ll be making! I think it’s a well rounded set!

Happy Stamping
