RAK Group Card Swap - June 2017

Hey Crafters,

Cards these days seem to becoming a thing of the past. But not anymore!

Do you like to create, send & receive cards?!? Then the Random Act of Kindness Card Group is for you! You simply select whomever you would like to send a card to anywhere in the world from the list of participants, and you may very well receive some back! Too easy, right?  

This month I participated in the RAK (Random Act of Kindness) Card Swap using new catalogue products and gosh I blown away by the stunning cards I received back today (and no, there was no memo that they all must be pink lol Fortunately I LOVE pink)

The RAK card swap attracted so many participants that there were several groups established.  I had the pleasure of having the following people in my Card Swap Group (in no particular order):

-  Louise Sharp
-  Lou Kitzelman

-  Nicole Wilson
-  Karen Farquhar
-  Amanda Shields
-  Jessie Holton
-  Kayla Renee
-  Vicki Allanson
-  Nikki Miers

Stay tuned for my next blog post coming tomorrow evening, till then...

Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights - June 2017

Hello and welcome to Seeds of Thoughtfulness with Lorin Goodchild, 

Today I have the privilege of participating in Kylie Bertucci's monthly International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights, which enables you to view all the creations entered and vote for your favourite. 

The theme this month is "Baby" - one of my favourites.  Here is my baby card I made:

Fly High Sweet Baby

This card was inspired by a quilt/ lattice background I had seen done by the very creative Holly Stene using the Foxy Friends stamp set (you can view Holly's beautiful card/s here).

I opted for a traditional colour palette of powder pink and whisper white for the baby girl card.  The hot air balloon was diecut from the Up & Away Thinlits, and I layered this to create a layered and bolder effect.  I used Wink of Stella to fill in the hot air balloon gaps, creating a sparkly, glittery background. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set, but you could easily replace this with a current sentiment, and I layered this with the powder pink/ soft sky cardstock and layering oval framelits.

If you liked my cards I would really appreciate you taking the time to VOTE HERE.  The top ten winners will get the opportunity to take part in an international blog hop.
