Shoebox Swap from Onstage

 



Here are the Shoebox Swaps from Onstage!
In March my friends from Onstage got together to for a shoebox swap.
A shoebox swap is where each stamper prepares kits for others to make their own cards but use the stamper's design. 
I am going to tell you the name of the Stamper and something I loved about their swap!


By Caroline Fredrickson 
Woolly Friends Punch Bundle
I just love this cute belly band that went around a pair of fluffy white socks! 

By Cheryl Holden 

This card used the Washi Tape, Greenery Lane. I couldn't finish this one at the event and finished it at home with a fun saying! 

By Phyllis Walker

This one was the easiest but had great layers and embellishing! The DSP did all of the work!

By Melissa

This was such a cute basket from the Easter Basket Dies. It was a 3D candy holder!

By Shannon West

This card has beautiful and modern layers. The green square was colored in with Stampin' Blends and the black background spots was just from a black marker tip! So easy and creative to make!


By Cindy Hafner

This bundle just retired and was on my wish list (since I love tulips) but sadly didn't get it. So I am glad I got to play with it just a little at this event! 

By Paula Skeen

I just loved the heart in place of the "o" for love!

By Chesley Christenson 

Simple stamping and great layers! I struggled with the banner ends of the Balmy Blue but just don't look too close!

By Amelia Hurst

This card is just so stunning with the classic white on white look. The shapes were embossed with two different embossing folders. 

By Marjeen Nation

This card was a great mix of embossing folder and die cuts! 

By Candice Anderson

Candice is know for all the layers. 6 layers, 7 if you count the leaf die! 

By Brandi Barnard

This card also had great layers and texture! Embossed paper, dies, glimmer paper, and ribbon!

By Kristie Hamilton

This card I was most worried about making but it was surprisingly easy! 
We used sponge daubers and ink to color the dry embossed paper. Then we rubbed Versamark over random parks and sprinkled Gold embossing powder! 


By Lynda Day 

This card featured DSP and that Happy! I love the layout and this design was even part of my card class earlier this year.

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
