I thought today I would share the card I did for my Control Freak Occasions Mini swap.  WOW…there were really fantastic swaps!  (But then, with this group, there ALWAYS are!)  I had decided to use the Take a Spin set (LOVE IT!) and the spinner hands (what fun!).  Read more about my project…

Since I had been in Pittsburgh with my family for awhile I need a simple, but still nice swap card.  This one worked for me and really is not that difficult to do.  The base of the card is is 4 1/3 x 4 1/4 Real Red.  Next I took a piece of Whisper White and ran the bottom part of the piece through the polka dotted folder.  This is layered onto a piece of Basic Grey.  Next I took a piece of Real Red and used the Scallop Edge punch along the edge and layered to the white panel.  I took the hugs and kisses print from the Love Expressions dsp, cut the one side on an angle, layered a piece of Real Red behind the angle and then layered to the white panel.  I tied a piece of the Basic Black 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon around the panel and then added to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped the Take a Spin circle using Real Red on Whisper White and punched out using the 2 1/2 circle punch.  This is layered onto a Basic Black circle and I added one of the game spinner hands.  This piece is added to the card front using dimensionals.  To finish this off I did the medium heart from the 3 heart punch in the Red Glitter Paper and the little heart in Basic Black.

So that was my swap card for this time.  Take a Spin is one of the sets that we are featuring as part of the Bring on the Cake Suite on the Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition.  For more information about this subscription service, check out our site…Create with Connie and Mary.  You can check out the projects we shared (for FREE) during the Preview Period!

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!
