Amazing Life – Notecard Swaps

At the time of filming and scheduling this blogpost, these team swaps very nearly didn’t happen.  My conscience got the better of me as I felt I could not  attend the meeting empty handed.  On the  penultimate eve of the meeting, I knew sleep would escape me unless I physically got the job done.  Consequently just past the midnight hour, muggins trotted down stairs and set too!

I needed something quick and easy and not too labour intensive as I had 25 to make – light bulb moment – Stamparatus, monotone ink would make stamping 25 card fronts pretty speedy!  It needed a little colour – stampin blends for an ombre look, but that meant the ink bled through to the other side!

Quick fix – cut up Sale-a-brations Botanical Butterfly DSP which is black and white on the reverse and adhere it to the back…. yes, I thought – that would tie in with Memento black.

You can see how I did the rest on the video.  I quickly filmed the beginning with all the cards before I gave them away – another light bulb moment, as I could then film the rest on another day. Eventually crawled into bed – looked at the clock and it was after 4.00 a.m!  So to the people I swapped with, please forgive me if there are slight imperfections – by that time of day, I could barely keep my eyes open!
