Series 4 Card Chain Swap – following Carolina’s card

Welcome to the fourth blog hop in our fourth 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. The first card in each sequence is an original idea. For this blog hop, it was Carolina’s turn to create a card and post 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.

I was the ninth person in this chain, so of course had no idea whether this looked like the first card, made by Carolina. If you have been following through the links, you will know that I received the following card to CASE from Tracy.

I used the Floral Impressions DSP to create my card. The flowers were created using the Impressions Abloom bundle, stamping the flowers with Strawberry Slush ink. The centres were stamped in Crushed Curry. I used these colours to match the colours in the DSP. The leaves were cut from Garden Green cardstock.

The card base is also Strawberry Slush, with a mat of Blackberry Bliss under the DSP. I have used gold embossing powder on a piece of Blackberry Bliss, die cut using the Nested Essential dies.

Here’s a close up of the front.

And here is what the inside looks like.

Of course, I had to add some bling, in the form of three Strawberry Slush flat pearls from the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls pack.
