Gina’s Shoebox Swap

Okay – this card needs NO introduction.  Gina made it!  (Remember these? Christmas card and Charming )

The funny thing about this stamp set (Vintage Vogue) from the current Occasions mini catalog is it wasn’t in my original Occasions mini order.  But after I completed that order I just couldn’t stop thinking about it (seriously, I thought about the set daily!) so I added it onto my next club order that went in.  It was waiting in a box for me the night we stamped these cards and man oh man, after making this card I’m so glad I purchased it!  And then…. the wheel… hadn’t thought about that… but now it’s on its way to me along with the Sweet Pea designer series paper from Bonnie’s card!

Wondering what that ribbon is?  It’s Crushed Curry polka dot ribbon – just the back side of it!

Birthday Tote-Ally Tess

Okay, are you sitting down??  Check out this amazing card Christy whipped up the SAME day she picked up her club order!!!  This is an awesome display of masking (getting Tess to hold the cake and the birthday bag and the balloons) and a VERY CLEVER way to use the Bitty Birthday stamp set.

In Christy’s words:
I’ve been very busy going through my loot…..what fun! As I was stamping all my stamps to catalogue them I realized that the Bitty Birthday set would work great with Tote-ally Tess…..I’ve attached a photo to show you what I made. I also used the Happy Birthday stamp from Vintage Labels.

Remember, Vintage Labels and Bitty Birthday are Sale-A-Bration stamp sets right now that you can earn for free like Christy did!

Thank you for sharing your talent with us Christy!!!

And if you’re wondering what awesome Designer Paper that is – it’s Thoroughly Modern.
