Last group of swaps
Here are the last 3 swaps I'd like to share with you – lots of terrific ideas for using Occasions Mini Catalog stamp sets!
This pretty monochromatic wedding card is from Michelle Bertrand; she used Love & Laughter stamp set along with Pool Party and Island Indigo card stocks and inks. Background gets dolled up with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and a couple of Pearls complete this classy card.
Here's a beautiful card created by Nicole Bertrand. She used Apothecary Art stamp set, along with Sale-A-Bration Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and Ribbon. Love the coordination of the stamp set and the Labels Collection Framelits Dies – layering them creates this beautiful border around the main image.
Last but certainly not least is a pretty wedding card from Sharon Vickery. Sharon's used the Bird Builder Punch along with the stamp set Loving Thoughts to create this beauty.

March Birthdays
There were so many birthdays in March – I ended up making quite a few of these and sending them to customers and friends.
- Can't get enough of Apothecary Art combined with the Labels Collection Framelits!

- Lucky Limeade card stock is punched with Scallop Trim Border Punch

More Swaps!
Here are some more terrific swaps from our Heartfelt Stampers Stamp Fest, all featuring Occasions Mini Catalog merchandise.
This card was created by Aly Schilling using Rue Des Fleurs stamp set. The main image is stamped on watercolor paper and uses Stampin' Write Markers and an Aqua Painter to color in.
Next is a fun card from Amy Rist. Amy chose the stamp set Mouthwatering, and we used Cherry Scented Stampin' Emboss Powder for the cherries. Simply ink up the stamp with Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Markers, stamp on Whisper White card stock, then use a VersaMarker to color over the cherries. Sprinkle on embossing powder and heat with Heat Tool. The little heart is from the coordinating Sweet Shop Designer Stickers.
Such a pretty example of using Up in the Air, the hostess exclusive stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog! Stampin' Write Markers direct to rubber make this little scene come to live. Love the gorgeous Pretty In Pink Satin Ribbon as an accent.

Sharing Swaps
Here are a few swaps from a team event we recently had. All stamp sets featured can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog. So many talented ladies in our group! I'll be sharing more as the week goes on – stay tuned!
Designed by Kristin Springer, this card is so beautiful! Apothecary Art and Loving Thoughts stamp sets paired with the new Framelits Labels Collection has been a real hit! I love the touch of the the double butterflies from Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die. Color scheme is Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.
Don't know who to give credit to for this darling card! It uses Mouthwatering stamp set and features a simple color combination of Soft Suede, Island Indigo and Whisper White. So happy about Stampin' Up!'s addition of 5 new colors of Baker's Twine to coordinate with the 2011-13 In Colors!
KC Groth uses the darling set called Gnome Sweet Gnome to create her soft, pretty card. Colors are Lucky Limeade, Pink Pirouette and Wisteria Wonder. Lots of sponging on this card, and the cute little lantern is cut out and popped up on Dimensionals.
