Velvet Meadow Friends - Chain Card Swap J

 Hi there Creators,

Just in case you're new to this Chain Swap (and have missed the other hops I've done)  I joined in from April to August in something called a "Chain Swap".  

The best way I can describe it is Chinese Whispers for cards.  We took turns starting the chain off with our card, whoever starts it sends it to the next person on the list who CASE's it (Copy And Selectively Edit), they then send their card onto the next person and so it continues.  I'm fascinated to see how the beginning and end results turn out, each of these blog posts have links on them to the next person in the chain, so let me know what you think, and make sure you check out the whole round! I'm not going to spoil the surprise by putting anyone else's cards in (partly because I'd have to search through my classroom - or craft room to find them!)🤦‍♀️

If you have come from the previous blogs you'll have seen the progression so far!

Here is my card I created this time using the gorgeous Velvet Meadow paper (so touchy feely🤣) This layout almost gives a window-like look.  Also love this Peaceful Pine Ribbon! all the Stampin' Up! ribbons are invariably soft, and this is not exception, but it also gives such a nice crisp feel to the card.

click on the photo to see all the goodies I used to create this card. (except for Cutest Crew Stamp set that I used but it wouldn't let me load onto the page🤷)  Have to admit it's one of my favourite sets for the sayings in it!

So now, go and check out the others in the chain, I love the variety and inspiration that everyone has gathered from the card that was mailed to them.

CreateAlong June - Velvet Meadow

 Hi there Creators,

Well today is my June CreateAlong Video's (I say Videos due to the fact that it's a lot easier to upload a 1/2 hour video than it is an hours version!) so I split it in 2.  If you ordered a kit I hope you enjoy creating along with me today (or whenever you get to it🤣)  Let me know what you make with your "extras".

If you didn't order a kit but would like the measurements, check out my "tutorials" section of this blog, and you can purchase the full written tutorials, with all the measurements and "how to cut" etc

These are the cards, and the box we create (and they feel so amazing due to the velvet texture)

I hope you have enjoyed Creating Along with me today.  And don't forget to keep your eyes out for the next CreateAlong in September (they happen every other month currently), and make sure you're signed up for my emails so you get the details!

If you missed the video's here they are:

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love

Next CreateAlong June details

 Hi there Creators

Woo hoo! our next CreateAlong is happening on 20th June, this time we're using the Ultra stroke-able Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series paper, the matching Velveteen Assortment Specialty paper, Dreamy Flowers, and the Scalloped Window Boxes that also happen to go well with the Scalloped Blooms Bundle (dies & Stamps)  

Click on the photo to see all the goodies I used to create these cards. 

If you are planning to craft along and would like a kit, order it from me by 2nd June so I can have them all ready in time, get in touch with me for payment details.

One of the wonderful things about these CreateAlongs is the flexibility — you can choose when it suits you to complete your projects. Whether you prefer to spread them out over different days or craft straight away, you can enjoy creating at your own pace.

 After the Video has gone live I will be selling the PDF over in my Tutorials.
