Where do you get inspiration for your papercrafting projects? I am often inspired by what other crafters create -- the sample in the Stampin' Up! catalog, ideas shared at demonstrator events, and the cards that you share for The Great, Big Card Swap. Today's card was inspired by a card made by Debbie Thomas. I don't have the same stamps that Debbie used, so I pulled out something similar and used the same idea of spotlighting one colored flower among black and white flowers.
Watch the replay of Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to see how I was inspired by Debbie's swap card when I created this card:
Debbie's card was one of 80 flower-themed cards sent in for The Great, Big Card Swap. Watch the replay to see the other cards. I hope you are inspired by what you see and create your own version of these beautiful cards at home. Tune in for Part 2 premiering on Tuesday, February 22 at 7 pm CT on YouTube.
Ready to jump in and participate in the next Great, Big Card Swap?

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Who can participate in this swap? EVERYONE! This swap is open to all stampers, including Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
- Can I use retired or non-Stampin' Up! products? Yes! I want EVERYONE to participate regardless of their paper-crafting collection! I will sort cards before swapping so that stampers who do use current Stampin' Up! product will get cards with current Stampin' Up! product in return.
- Can I sign the back of my card? Yes! Please leave the inside blank so the person who receives your card can send it on and bless someone else. But feel free to include your usual maker marking on the back.
- What happens if my card doesn't arrive in time? Postal transit times are unpredictable. If your card arrives late, don't worry! I will showcase it in another weekly video and make sure that you get a return swap!
I would love for you to include a note inside the card -- a little about yourself or just a happy greeting to the person who gets your card. Please note, I will remove any solicitations (business cards, business links, etc.)
Attention International Stampers! I would love for you to participate in this swap! Use this Paypal link to pay $5 USD for 3 return postage stamps. (I'll hold them with your name on them to use for future swaps.) I'm worried about transit times, so be sure to mail early or work ahead one month! Mark your envelope with the month/theme you intend to submit the swap.
Privacy Statement: During the showcase video (posted on YouTube and Facebook), I will provide the first and last name of the card maker. If you prefer to be anonymous or only mentioned by first name, please let me know in a written note inside your card. Although I am entering mailing addresses in a spreadsheet, it is for the sole purpose of generating return address labels. Your information will not be shared or sold to a third party, including another swapper. I will never personally use your information for any other reason besides sending return cards for The Great, Big Card Swap.
The Great, Big Card Swap is organized by Julie Davison, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 2002.
