My "Red" Cards for the Rainbow Swap at Splitcoaststampers

Yesterday, you had an opportunity to see my "Green" cards,  for the Rainbow Card Swap over at Splitcoaststampers. Today I present to you, my "Red" cards. 

Originally, I had planned to go with a Christmas theme, since you know it's already July, and Christmas will be upon us before you know it... However, as I was reorganizing some paper kits and what not, I came across a pack of paper, that I just had to use. 

For this swap, all 8 cards are different, but for the most part they have the same basic components. They are all stamped with the same sentiment from Close to my Heart. I used the "Just for You" stamp from the Petite Perks set "Just For You". They were all stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. All of them have a white or beige layer inside for the sender to write a message. 

Here is my main card, I am submitting for a few Challenges as well...

The challenges are:

Cards In Envy: Red White & Blue Challenge

Cute Card Thursday: Anything Goes #484

Jo's Scrap Shack: Anything Goes #195

Here are a few extra photos of some of the other 7 cards. 

I hope the other ladies in the group enjoy them. 

Would You Like To Participate In A Card Swap?

Summer Card Swap 2017

You will mail in 5 full 5 ½” x 4 ¼” cards and receive back 5 full cards.

Use only Current Close To My Heart stamps, cardstock, patterned paper, etc. Which means the stamp set, colors and paper you use must be in the current idea book or seasonal expressions.

You can choose any theme, all 5 of your cards can be the same or different, that is your choice.

Please sign your work with something removable such as a post-it note for each card. Place your cards in a Ziploc type bag labeled with your name.

Remember, this is for FULL cards, not fronts. Please do your best work.

Please mail completed cards to:

Marciava Warrell

6714 Bluffview Drive

Fayetteville NC 28314

Deadline: Must be in my hands by August 15th! I will swap and get them back in the mail within 3 days. If you know you are going on vacation, please mail them off prior to leaving.

Mailing: Place your cards in a Ziploc type bag labeled with your name. Please include a self addressed stamped envelope with enough postage as it took to mail to me plus 2 extra stamps just in case (these will be returned if not needed). No Dated Metered Postage - anything that has a date on it will not work. I will provide a priority envelope if you do not have one if you choose to have yours sent back that way.

MAILING TIPS:  Put YOUR return address on your envelope.  This eliminates packages coming back to me if for some reason you've not included enough postage for your envelope.

NOTE: I will send your extra stamps back if they are not needed.

You do not need to send an envelope with your card unless you just want to, especially if you like to decorate your envelopes to match your cards.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I am more than happy to answer all questions. I would rather you ask, than not know.
