New Catalogue Card Swap

Whenever a new Catalogue is launched the team I am a part of (The Pootlers) organises a card swap between us. All who wish to take part add their address to a Facebook file within our team page and one person arranges us all into small groups of five or six people. We then make 5 or 6 of the same cards using products from the New Catalogue and send them to each person in our group.

Here is the card I made for the group I was in using products from the New 2018 Spring/Summer Catalogue.

I made the base cutting an A4 Sheet of Thick Whisper White in half and then scored and folded in half again.

I cut a 2 inch strip of the Painted With Love Speciality Designer Series Paper and a 1 1/2″ strip of Whisper White Cardstock.

Using one of the small hearts in the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies, I then die cut 5 hearts out of the strip of whisper white and backed the apertures with small scraps of the dame designer series paper.

I then attached this strip to the strip of Painted with Love Paper and attached that to a slightly bigger piece of Gold Foil Cardstock. This was then adhered to the Card Base.

I used the “Just for You” sentiment from the Sure Do Love You Stamp Set stamped with memento black ink and added a small metallic enamel heart. The whole look was then finished off with a small bow made from the 1/8″ Gold Ribbon and attached with a glue dot underneath the centre heart.

I made five of these cards to send to the other ladies in my swap group. Here they are before posting.
