"New Product" Spring Card Exchange

Yesterday I hosted a Spring card exchange. Our theme was to create a card using something new from the Spring Idea Book. It could be a new stamp set, paper collection or embellishment, as long as it was fresh and new for Spring! Each and every card was completely unique and different, which was exactly my goal! I feel that each of us now have a new item, or two, on our "wish list" now that we've seen it used on one of the cards!!

Here is the card I made, using both a new stamp set {camper crazy} and the Skylark papers. I also used a new card design that I made on the envelope maker, an idea that I shared with the ladies after the exchange.

What once was old is new again! This stamp set is from Jeanette's stamp archive. {Happy Hive} How cheerful is this card?! and the bee's are sooo cute!

How clever is this little surprise of a card!? It lays flat and fits neatly in a standard envelope. Then when you open it.....

....an explosion of color and fun!

 This gorgeous card incorporates the new Balloon Ride papers and Give a Lift stamp set.

Fancy folds and striking blue Ariana papers make this card so beautiful!

That darling little Stamp of the Month Fox is the star of this card. He is just too cute...or should I say Foxy!!!

Finally, this last card features a promotion stamp and the very versatile Fundamentals Basic papers. The tiny heart pattern truly compliments the larger heart and "love you" sentiment.
