Today’s card isn’t actually swap card but is an Easter card that I received from my Daughter-in-law Karissa. Karissa is an on and off again member of my Hollywood Stamping Chicks team, mother of 3 active boys and a talented artist. Recently, her husband (my son Nick) had to have surgery and will be recuperating for the next 6 weeks so I sure wasn’t expecting her to have time to make cards!

Karissa’s card is a great example of a card using minimal products and would be easy for a beginning stamper to recreate. It uses the Rejoice in Him stamp set and 3 strips of patterned paper. The main image is punched but could also be done as a square. The leaf has been colored with markers and some swipes of colors were added under the words to draw attention.
I know that none of you need a reminder that prices are all going super high, BUT if you want to stock up on crafting supplies before the new Annual catalog sales period begins on May 2 you can save a few bucks! I hate to even show this to you, but prices are increasing. Here is a chart of some of the increases.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t remind those of you who purchase a lot (you know who you are, hehehe), that as a Stampin’ Up! member you save 20% on all of your orders. Just purchase a Starter Kit to join.
