Welcome to the tenth and final blog hop in our second series for our Card Swap Chain.

A group of Australian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators formed a group to create cards and swap them in a process like a chain letter (although I’ve called it Chinese Whispers cards). The first card in each sequence is an original idea. For this blog hop, Cheryl created her card and posted it to the next in the list. Then that person CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edit) it and mailed her card to the next person on the list. This person then cased her card … and so on!

This has been a lot of fun and a great challenge for me to CASE the cards I was sent. You can see the first card from this chain, created by Cheryl, by clicking on the first link in the list below, and follow its progression through to the end. Mine was the seventh in the chain.

Kayla sent me this card to CASE:-

I am not used to making cards with a lot of die cuts on them so this was a bit of a challenge for me.

I finally chose to use the smaller flowers from the Flowers of Beauty bundle (which I hadn’t ever used before). So many little flowers once they are die cut!

The paper is from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’ve used the matching Pretty in Pink ribbon and a strip of silver foil for the ‘ribbons’ on the card.

On the inside mat, I used a strip of the same paper I used on the front of the card, with another strip of silver foil. I stamped the leaf image in Lost Lagoon and die cut it.

Happy crafting
