Monogram Mania
The following card samples are from a swap I hosted recently. The instructions were to create card samples using the new giant Monogram letters from the Spring Mini Catalog:
Designer: Courtney
Designer: Trisha Smith
I love the simplicity of this card! Quick and fabulous! I am also liking the turquoise and brown combo...never would have thought to put the two together.
Designer: Peggy Lucas
Totally diggin' the color combo! This is also another great example of how much several different stamp sets coordinate for a great look.
Designer: Teresa Shaw
I can't imagine how long it took to cut out the frog! Love it! Once again, perfect coordination among a few different stamp sets...the versatility that stamp sets offer is wonderful.
Designer: Consuelo Banks
I like the reverse monogram! It's like getting two stamps in one. The flower punch (along with the big flower being cut out) looks so cool when it's stacked to make one big flower like this...love love love it!
Designer: Jackie Victorson
The use of these two backgrounds (French Script & Floral) really makes this card look quite elegant. I also enjoy the color combo...the pinks and browns looks very nice.
Designer: Christine Lotz
What a cute kitty card! The eyelet is non-SU, but matches the Hodgepode Hardware so well that it really completes the look! The K also has Crystal Effects on it...really makes it shine in person!
Designer: Sarah Pendergrast
I can't begin to imagine the work that went into this sample! From the glitter, to the embossed polka dots, to the punched out flowers, to the dry embossed flower...fantastic all the way around!
Designer: Karen Foltz
I enjoy the use of the ribbons on this card, along with the Linen background, which is done with the Vanilla Craft Ink...so subtle but so perfect! The way the F is raised with pop dots really makes it pop at you!
Comments
These are all gorgeous! If you ever host another swap, let me know I'd love to participate!

I'll let you know! I usually try to do one every few months...it takes me that long to think of a theme! LOL

Courtney, Just checking out your blog. Thanks for all your kind words on my card. It was an awesome swap. I loved all the cards I got. You're a great hostess.

All I did was swap them and mail 'em! Your card has had tons of comments from my customers at workshops, too. I think it's so cool to get 2 in 1! I'm glad you did your swap like that so people can see the reverse!
