CARD SWAP SENT

These are the cards I made for Marilda for the NEWBIE CARD SWAP in the Mini Album Swaps fb group.  We were to make 3 cards...a 5" x 7", 4" x 6" and 4" x 4" card with matching envelopes for our assigned swap partner.
The above card is a 4x6.  I used "Sweetheart" a retired paper from CTMH.  The stamped image is "Light the Night" by Penny Black.  I used colored pencils to color the image. I added a little gem in her hair and to the center of the paper flower.
The Love card was made using "Silhouette" papers, also retired long ago from CTMH.  The hearts and word "love" on the card and envelope were stamped using "Heartfelt" also an old retired stamp set from CTMH. I fussy cut the stamped word "love" to add to the card.
This is a 4" x 4" card.  This cute little bear is by Sassy Cheryl's Digital stamps from 2010.  It was colored with markers.  I added gold Stickles to the center of the flowers.  
The bee on the envelope was stamped using "A Little Bee" an older retired stamp set from CTMH.  

Following are some of the extra goodies I included in the package with the 3 cards I sent to my swap partner....
A 3" x 3" card made using retired papers and stamps by CTMH, I think.

CARD SWAP RECEIVED

I am so excited about the cards and extra goodies I received from Marilda Herrera for the Newbies Card Swap in the Mini Album Swaps fb group. The selfie card was made using the "Picture Perfect" stamp set by SugarPea Designs. Marilda did an outstanding job coloring the stamped images on all 3 of the cards!
The above card is so gorgeous!  This stamped image is "Megan" ... a Julie Nutting Doll stamp.
The "hello" card is cute, but check out the matching envelope!  It has the word hello cut out or punched out and a piece of paper matching the paper on the card glued to the inside of the envelope behind where the word "hello" was cut out.

The adorable sushi chef card was made using the "Rice Rice Baby" stamp set by SugarPea Designs. 
I haven't decided whether I will use this Dangle/fob on my scissors or add it to a mini album.
Look at all of the die cuts, tags, flowers, embossed mats, and sequins, not to mention the Glitter Glue, Gelly Roll Pen and Ribbon!!!  Marilda was so generous with all of the extra goodies.  THANK YOU Marilda!!!!
