July Card Front Swap

I think it depends on how many takers we get. If it's only a small number, I think we should do two. What about doing male and female birthday cards???

Good idea Sue!! I have 1 ale and 3 female b'days in sept/oct so that will be perfect!!

Thanks for the info on how to get the picture up. I have now finished the 2nd card so I will take a photo and see how I go.

I'll be in it again next month. Male cards are hard to do so it is great to get ideas from each other.

If you have any trouble getting the pics up Sharon, just let me know. Can't wait to see your cards!

Glad to know you'll be in again too! Vick, do we want to start a new thread for sign-ups for the next round? Maybe leave sign-up open until the end of the month with cards to be completed & sent by the end of August?

I know what you mean Sharon, i always struggle with men's cards and normally end up buying them!! I'm going to give it my best shot tho! We are giving ourselves plenty of time to think about them!!

We wrote at the same time Sue and i was about to say i would start another thread with our names in it!! Scary how much we think alike!!

O.k. here are my card fronts hope you like them.

OMG Sharon, they are gorgeous!!

Can you put the instructions to the folded card in the tips and techniques please?? It looks great!!!

Thanks. I found that card yesterday I will post the blog page in the tips. You can dowload the PDF from the site for free how good is that!

Thats awesome, thanks Sharon!! It looks great, and if it isn't too hard to make, i think i will have to make a few myself!!

Hi Vicki,

I have just posted the blog address up in the tips and techniques section under Christmas Tree Card Tutorial. It isn't that hard just a bit fiddly until you get the hang of it.

Take Care

Sharon, they are soooo fabulous! I LOVE THEM!!!
(And pink and green...I LOVE that colour combo!)

You are such a talented card-maker!
(I'm so glad you are in on the next swap!)

I finished the last 2 cards tonight, so i will take a pic tomorrow and get them in the post monday!! You guys will be blown away with how good all the cards look once they are stuck to blank cards!! I have stuck all mine on, and they look awesome (so good in fact that i don't want to give them away!!) I will post a pic of them all made up in the gallery some time!!

Here are the last two cards. Just quick simple ones!!

And here are all of them stuck to blank Kaiser Cards!! Don't they all look great!!

They look even better when they are stuck on the cards! Wow! Did we really make them? I can't wait to get them! (Only problem is, I won't want to give any of them away!)

I know what you mean!! I am already looking at them thinking the same!! Might have to try replicate them all so i can give some away!!

I love the new embossing folders you got for the 'bug!

HI Lovely ladies,

I have just finished my women's retreat for Church and I am back home now to find these great cards posted here. Vicki the extra ones are great. I will look forward to the mail arriving. They look great all stuck on the the blank cards. I had fun doing this. Now I can start on this months. I will have a hard time giving them away as well.

Take Care
Sharon

I tried to get red & green cards at the shops today but they were all sold out. Will have to wait until they re-stock!
