Leadership Swap

I love swapping with other demonstrators! Getting new ideas, a fresh take on an old product or just plain enjoying the thought it took someone to make a swap! It's all FUN! This year I was invited to a private swap with just 6 demonstrators. It was a themed swap, Take Three Swap, I think. Anyway, three projects using the same ingredients.

I'm going to share my swap with you here but I AM NOT going to do a tutorial on it and I AM NOT going to give dimensions (but thanks for asking Ü)...I already gave them away and was in too much of a hurry to get them done to measure each step. I'm sure you've had that happen also!

My Trio used the new Sending Love Valentine's Specialty DSP, Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and the New Extra Large Two Step Bird punch. Man, do I love this punch!!
The purse cards are made using the Oval Scallop die-cut. Fold your cardstock in half and lay it on the die cut leaving the fold on the inside edge of the die-cut so it doesn't get cut. Run one in DSP and one in Chocolate Chip. Save the center of the Chocolate Chip one for another use and use the frame for this project as a handle. Cut it in half and insert it inside the card as a handle.

It is not held closed by anything, just a regular card.

Yep, more M&M bags. I have gotten rid of all the ones I plan to get rid of. Thank you for all your e-mails asking to take them off my hands. I'm down to my last 50 or so and probably won't be ordering anymore. You can order them here if you are interested. Maybe go in with a couple friends and share.

The little tag book is based around the size of our small flat cello bags. Kind of a take on one of Andrea Walford's Christmas projects.

I embossed Pretty in Pink cardstock with the new Polka Dot Embossing folder and then punched the birdie ...oh that sounded bad! I closed it with a Basic Gray adhesive magnet from my local scrapbook store.

Inside is just the 2 open ended bags. Slide the tags right in. Ornament punch with the bottom cut straight to make a vase. Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon.

I love this little purse. It is a piece of DSP folded in half, cut with the Wide Oval Punch except keep the bottom clear, so it does not get cut. The handle is the Oval Punch inside the Scallop Oval Punch and the flap is the Small Oval Punch with one of the Trip Flower Punches and a brad. It opens and says 'I love you' inside. So cute!
