Swinging is fun

Well it wasn't a dance but anyone passing by would have thought there was a party going on last night. My Friday night girls are naughty, they had far too much fun.

The class technique for May was how to make a Swing card and also the Rock and roll technique. The first card was the Swing card. Instead of using the cutting tool, we used the Big Shot and the Window Frames Collection framelit die to cut the swing shape. Then it was embossed front and back and then embellished with the cute little umbrella from the Rain or Shine stamp set. The front of the swing had  rain drops with the sentiment, "thoughts of you" and the back had the umbrella with a sponged sun with the sentiment "rain or shine". The back of the card had the sentiment "makes me happy".

Such a simple layout and I have seen it done in so many different ways. A few of us at Craft Group made this cute card with the new Scensational Seasons Stamp Set and Framelits from the new Holiday Catalogue. I think I am going to love the new Chevron Embossing Folder it's such a trendy folder.

This morning I decided to try the same layout with a more feminine look. I used the Bliss Stamp Set from Sale a Bration and the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set. So soft and sweet. I used the Colour Coach to help me with the colour combination as I was struggling as to what colour to add with the Pink and Green. Thank you Colour Coach I wouldn't have come up with Marina Mist so easily.
