Welcome to the sixth card in the fourth series of our Card Swap Chain.

A group of Australian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators formed a team 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 Cindy’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 I loved being able to CASE the cards I was sent.

I was the sixth person in this chain. If you have been following through the links from the start of the chain, you will know that I received the following card to CASE from Genna.

Handmade card featuring a stamped zebra, giraffe and monkey

I have changed the dies used but kept the larger die cut on the left with three images on it, and the smaller die cut from the same die set (Everyday Arches) on the right.

The images I have stamped are from the Trusty Tools stamp set and coloured with my Real Red and Smoky Slate Blends. I then die cut them using the matching die in the Trusty Tools die set.

The pegboard behind the images also was cut with a die from the same set.

I added some ‘bling’ by die cutting the nuts and screws (again from the Trusty Tools die set) from Basic Grey cardstock then used the Wink of Stella brush to add some shine.

For the inside of my card, I stamped and coloured the tape measure from the same stamp set. I used the edge of the large die to create a border on the white mat, then layered a Basic Black mat behind to match the front of the card.

Now you can continue on through the list below to see how the card design progressed, or start at Cindy’s card if you have just joined our blog hop.
