That Little Bit Extra? Stepping up your cards - GSF Blog Hop April


Welcome to a Global Stampin' Friends Blog hop - what an exciting day - its actually the day of the Sydney Onstage Stampin' Up! Event and I would like to share my swaps with you. Todays hop is about "that Little Bit Extra' so the goodies we use that are not actually paper, ink or stamps! Tucked away in the back of the catalogue are our embellishments, ribbons and trim, they coordinate perfectly with our paper inks and stamps but I'm sure they could be used a whole lot more.
 
Swapping at Onstage is a whole heap of fun - I get to make new friends as we ooo and ahhh over each others creations, catch up with friends I only get to see at Stampin' Up! events and I come home with a heap of samples and inspiration. This time I have made card fronts and as I write this they are all packed securely ready to go.

I will pop a list of supplies at the bottom of the post in case you would like to make your own similar to this card, there is also a video below if you would like to see more on how I did some of the elements.

Just for some variety this card below has none of those 'Extras' I have added for my featured card - it looks heaps different. Next to each other the differences are more noticeable.
