Label Swing Card Thinlit by Stampin' Up!

I love the shape of the Stampin' Up! Label swing card thinlit. Today's project is aimed at the men in our lives, so a masculine card using the label swing card.  I particularly love the Stampin' Up! "Word Map" coupled with the Stampin' Up! "Traveler" stamp set and of course had to use their colour card stock, Early Expresso.  Put this together and this is what I created for Father's Day...

Standing up, this photo shows the swing of the label, Antique Brad and Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon, both Stampin' Up! products.  The map was gently coloured with inked sponges.

Circle Swing Card thinlit by Stampin' Up! feature card.

Creating beautiful projects with the Stampin' Up! Circle swing card thinlit comes naturally to a number of my dear customers.  This post features CN's first creation using the Stampin' Up! Circle swing card thinlit and I love the detail of fussy cutting in this project, the colour combination and assembly/layout of the card.

CN's card was created in a class earlier this year...

The card, when opened, revealed messages of endearment (from the Stampin' Up! "Blooming with Kindness" stamp set) that were solidly stamped on a background of the flower from the same set.

I just love this card and I am sure the recipient was thrilled, and I hope it made her day if not week.
