OKay Ladies this is going to be a fun one! We are making the Card embellishments this time for our Swap. We will end up with different embellishments to use on future cards/projects from each other, I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
Gotcha Pauline! I'm sure whatever you make will be as awesome as all your stuff!
Ah, you're so kind.
I got your instructions and I have a question. Are we to pre-assemble the card candy so we are just swapping candy or do we make the base with adhesive and then everyone assembles the pieces? Sorry to be a little dense
We make the all the pieces separately and assemble the sets at the swap. You should have 6 separate embellishments for each person at the swap and they must have at least 3 layers, which can include a button, ribbon or other. ( that would mean if you have 5 people you have made 30 embellishments) 1 set of 6 embellishments for each, Plus a base for the set. I am making my base from a 1/2 sheet of card stock covered in clear contact paper, so the embellishments can come off easily.
Good Morning ladies! Just a reminder, the swap for this month is approaching and I would love to see more sign-ups. Please email me or reply to this thread! If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Have a great week!
Julie, it took me a while to get my head around the concept of Card Candy because I rarely buy pre-made embellishments and then I finally had the ah-ha (i.e. duh) moment and realized I do it all the time by just making cards. Sometimes the ol' brain just doesn't kick-in!! It has been a lot of fun - thank you for a great challenge.
Your welcome Pauline!
I was thinking the same thing, thought we do it all the time when me make our cards, lets do a few up for the swap! I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone has come up with!
Hi you guys, turns out I can make it this time.
Julie, would you re-send me the specifics for this swap -- I had deleted it before I knew I'd be attending after all.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
Renee
Shelley! We would love to meet you! We have a great bunch of ladies in our group and we more great swaps coming up, so no worries. I'm sure we will get a chance to get together soon!
