Card Swap Cards

 Hey crafty friends! 

I hope everyone is doing well!  I have had a pretty bad summer, health-wise.  I think the heat just adds to my illness.  BUT!! I have managed to craft a little bit here and there.  I still have to finish the Birthday Cards that I make each year for my sister-in-laws elementary school. 

I decided to join a swap a while ago.  I have wanted to join many of them, but I was always scared that I would go into a 'flare' and not be able to finish my projects in time  And I would hate that!  Well, this swap had a deadline that was far enough out that I thought I could manage it.  And I did!  So today, I want to share the cards that I made.  I posted a video of them on Youtube, but I thought I would post it here too, as well as some photos of the cards.

Here's the Video:

 And here are a whole bunch of pictures:

Here's my {Appy} Birthday card:

 The banner is made with Angry Birds ribbon

 And the magnets on the inside are App Icon magnets!

Here are some Halloween Cards that I made:

 I wanted it to look like the image was busting out of the picture!

Here is another card, this one has a jeweled butterfly layered on flowers and a doily:

And the last one is a "just a note" card made with a clipboard that I cut from my Cricut:

 And these are just some simple 3x3 cards I made to include in the package I sent.  Just to add a little note to each crafter. 

 This was my first time ever actually fussy cutting.  (you can tell!! haha)  I think they turned out ok, but I really shouldn't be doing that.  I just can NOT see well enough! 

I am pleased with how all of my cards turned out.  I really hope the other ladies like them too!  I have received three of the four packages already, and the cards are just FABULOUS!

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my cards!
