Two Swaps & an extra

Today I have 3 rather unrelated cards.  The first is for a materials swap where I gathered materials, made a card from them and sent an identical set of materials to a friend. The card you see above is the card I made - based on a sketch from PageMaps. The stamp used is from Sweet Impressions "Father's Day Retro" - used with a Stampin' Up Punch.

And here's a picture of the materials:

I ended up not using everything, but used much of it.  The printed pieces were freebies from CraftsUPrint, the rest is just misc from my stash.

And here's the inside of the card:

I used a couple of stamps on this one.  "Celebrate" is from a HOTP set called "Birthday Greetings" and the other is from a JustRite set called "Enjoy the Day Vintage Labels Four".

Next up is a card I made from a Hunkydory set given to me by a friend.  It is from Hunkydory's ShabbyChic kit and from a set called "Delightful Dresser":

The plain red is from my stash.  The "Thank You" is from a HOTP book of die cuts, and the stamps are from Grand Sentiments stamps set (JustRite).  After stamping them, I heat embossed with clear powder so they wouldn't smear on the slick background.  Inside was pretty simple:

Dies used for frame are from the 5x7 Matting Basics set from Spellbinders.

Next up is a card I made from materials received in a swap.  Here's what I got - Hunkydory Pop-a-Topper called Gentlemen's Picking die cuts, some red and gold Jewel Dazzles, and misc papers & ribbon.

And here's how I used them: The stamp is from HOTP's Birthday Greetings.
