Card Set Swap

Here is my contribution to a swap I participated in recently. We were to make three cards using the same stamp sets and basic colour scheme. I took it a step further and did a beginner, stepped up, and advanced card to show off what you can do with the time you have. I loved how they turned out. Matching cards always make me smile.

Something you may have noticed if you look at my supplies list, there is a credit section where I use the word CASEd a lot. CASE stands for Copy-and-share-everything. I will proudly confess that very few of my cards designs are original. The beauty of this hobby is how you can see an idea, love it, and with a few switches of ink and paper, make it your own or if you want, copy it exactly. I do however, believe strongly in crediting the original idea. The internet (and for us especially, Pinterest) is a wonderful world full of fabulous ideas and inspiration. Have fun exploring!
