Waves of the Ocean Swap

 

I created this card above for a swap with demonstrators from all over the US. The "Miss You" sentiment is from the Honeybee Home stamp set. The wave stamp and pelican with coordinating die is from the new Waves of the Ocean collection. I wanted it to look like a Polaroid photo of an ocean vacation.

Here is a close up of the pelican on a post. I wrapped some linen thread around the post to add interest.

I created a second card for this swap and made this fun fold. I have the measurements for a similar card this style on a recent blog post HERE. Here is a look at the card when it is closed.

One of my favorite things about being a SU Demonstrator, other than the coordinating products is the community. Here is a video showing all of the cards I received from the Waves of the Ocean swap hosted by Tami White. A “swap” is where you make 10 of the same cards, for instance, and trade with 10 other people. That way you get back 9 different cards.

These cards came from other SU Demonstrators from all over the US. Here are the names of the designers in order of appearance: Lauren McMillan, Teresa Neuleib, Joanne Prosser, Janice Weightman, Lela Meinke, Cherylin’s Creations, Rachael Coon, Janette Howard, Lauren McMillan, No Name, Rachael Coon, Teresa Neuleib, Jen Morgano, Amy E. Rogers, Janette Howard, Ann Holstrom, Melissa Thomas and Tina Wardell. You can order the supplies from this collection until May 2 or while supplies last at krisk.stampinup.net. Thanks for watching!
