Cruise Swap #2 – a 25-card swap for Lori Snider

I joined one card swap for the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Cruise to Bermuda .. THANKS LORI for hosting this!!  The theme was ANY stamp set or accessory and we were supposed to try to wow Lori… hope she likes this!

I used the Pick a Petal Brass template and my paper piercer to poke tiny holes and the 1/8" hand held punch to punch holes in my Groovy Guava Carousel Notes (see THIS post) and then I cut it into quarters… then adhered it to a 4×4 card.

I used Sticky Strip on the 2 straight edges of the Carousel Note, and left the scalloped end "open" so I could tuck in a tiny 2-1/2" square thank you note! 🙂  I also used the Build A Brad – my favorite accessory and the new brown Poly Twill ribbon.

It looks great with any of the papers in the Afternoon Tea packet and with any embellishment!

I was inspired to do the 1/4 circle by my friend Barb, and my friend Sharon. Thanks for your inspiration!
