Brian and I are busy enjoying the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip, a cruise around the Western Mediterranean, but I thought you might like to see my swaps and some crafting whilst we are gone.
You can catch up with my exploits on my Facebook page, which you can find by clicking here.
So I am swapping with 25 other demonstrators, we never know who because Stampin’ Up! collate and sort them. I decided to join the card front swap, so we make just the front of a card, well that was the plan……I decided to make a wobble card, so it’s a whole card, I hope they don’t mind! So 25 people all make a card and hand them in and they get 25 different ones back. I love swaps because it means I have lots of new items for my displays.
Now I know you will ask, yes there will be a video but not till I’m home so early June I promise. But it’s an easy card to make, just lots of time consuming bits and measuring.
First up some pictures of the process, this is what happens when you realise you have the wrong sized pieces cut out…..
Lots and lots of dragonflies, two tone with wink of stella on the wings.
Dented thumbs, way too much fussy cutting out of those dragonflies…
The finished card.
And the back, so you can see how it stands, but it folds flat to post.
I made 2 colour ways, I’d love to know which one you prefer? Dapper Denim or Emerald Envy?
Here they are all packaged up ready to go.
I always carry my swaps in my hand luggage, to make sure I have them when we get to our trip, I would hate for the bag to get lost and then not have any swaps……!
So I’ll be back in a week, with lots of lovely things to show you, have fun !
Please note : Less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year.

Love them both but the dapper denim makes the dragonfly stand out more. Hope you can relax and have a wonderful trip, see you in June xx
Thanks Roz, we had a great time see you next week!
I also like the Denim one the best. Love those colors together! I hope you are having a great time!
Thanks Laura, we had an amazing time !
Wonderful swap card Amanda. Both are fun colors though I think the denim edges ahead by a hair.
Do you by any chance have a tutorial or link to one for that type of card fold? I looked up wobble card but found entirely different types and I’d love to reproduce the fold.
Hi Jean I have a video tutorial coming out very soon!
No worries Amanda after more checking with various terms I found a tutorial.
Thanks for letting me know, glad you got it sorted out.
