A couple weeks ago, we had a team overnight retreat and one of our projects was our semi-annual shoebox swap. What's a shoebox swap? Each consultant participating creates a card (and supplies all pre-cut pieces and embellishments) using new papers and new stamp images to showcase the new product in the new catalog, and then we create all the cards! This round we had 12 people participating...and the artwork was beautiful!
This swap is a free-for-all...I never assign stamp sets or paper packs and we've rarely had any duplications. This round, we had 3 different Halloween ideas, so I thought I would start by sharing them...just in case you wanted to get a jump start on making your cards.
This was my card...using the
Creepy Creatures stamp set, and the
Moonlight paper packet. I stamped the vampire off the edge of the paper in black ink, and popped the portion of his cape (stamping on a scrap piece, cutting it out and adhering it to the card). The bat, I stamped multiple times without re-inking to give the illusion of movement. I also used black button brads in the sentiment banner. The ribbon is the new
Black Tulle Ribbon, tied in knot and adhered with a glue dot.
This card by Jodi Frank, she took the idea directly from the catalog on page 58. It's a good reminder...the catalog is a GREAT source for ideas too! It uses the same stamp set and paper pack as mentioned earlier. The stars were cut from the Cricut cartridge (Art Philosophy), and layered. Unfortunately, we had to hand cut the skeleton! LOL
Lastly, this card was designed by LeAnne Dudley. She used the stamp set from the
Moonlight WOTG kit, and the
Magic Potions stamp set. The
Artiste Cricut cartridge works with all the images in the Magic Potions stamp set...bonus! LeAnne also used the Black Tulle Ribbon and a jewel from the
Haunted Assortment. Notice the spider dangling on the right side of the card?
