Summer Silhouettes Control Freak Convention Swap

This was one of my Control Freak convention swaps, as well as a card I offered at my Card Buffet last night (a huge hit!).  Actually at first, my gals were a little afraid to make this card, but once I offered assurances that it really is easy to make, they all dived right in.  It's actually the sponging that creates the dramatic results (done after stamping, but before adding glitter)

Clear Case Card Set

 

This was the 3D swap/gift I made for my STARS Team at convention.  It's a Clear Case Card Set that holds six cards and envelopes.  A perfect gift for anyone.  I think I'm gonna make up a few of these to keep on hand for last-minute gifts.  

I used the new Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper.  But any of Stampin' Up! DSP packs would be nice.  In fact - I used the English Garden (138440) and Timeless Elegance (138444) for the actual swap.  But I forgot to take pictures.
