Ah ha! Mystery solved. I got two cards from someone in Belgium, but…they were blank! And I wasn’t sure if they were from here or another card exchange I’m doing on a different site. But then I saw someone post their cards from @Myrthena and I immediately recognized the style.

I wondered about that! Glad it made it to you. :blush:

I got some cheer!
From @Camelama
Beautiful stitched and beaded tree. So pretty!

From @wittychild
Embossed goodness! Lovely sparkles.


And from @Myrthena
Two sweet pieces! Love the texture and different elements used on the cards.

Thank you to everyone who swapped with me. You made my holiday a little brighter.

I like that you included a blank card that we can use. I’m going to send my card to my neighbor. She’s been having health issues and wants to keep her distance right now. I know the card will definitely brighten her day!

Oh that’s actually really nice! I just wasn’t sure if it was from here or another card swap I’m doing which is why I was worried about giving proper thanks.

Oh No I am with you Myrthena I sent blank cards too! Re reading the swap requirements I see where I got confused!

I love your cards…and I think I would reuse all the cards here…they are so lovely, all of them!

Pardon the delay, but I wanted to wait until I received all my cards. So, without further ado, here they are!

First up is this repurposed vintage Christmas postcard/card from @PhoenixFireDesigns

I love vintage-y things, especially old mail. Think of the travels and lives of this wee little piece of paper. So here’s a peek at the back. Thank you!!

Second up is a beautiful sparkly card from @wittychild. Such beautiful stamping/cut paper! A true work of art! Thank you, Jen!

Third, we have a stamped, vintage typewriter card from @Smmarrt! It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the typewriter is colored in with sparkly (paint? pen?). Thank you, Susan!

And last, but not least, this awesomeness of a card from @AudiobookLover! In true crafter fashion, I stared very closely at this card for quite some time…is it machine embroidery? Over thick glitter paper?! I’ve never seen anything like it! (Definitely a compliment!) It seems like it’d be very fiddly, especially with the color changes.

Here’s a close up so you can see the sparkles! Thank you, Summer! I will most likely be repurposing the cocoa cup to make into an ornament so I can enjoy it year after year! :christmas_tree:

A big thank you to all my partners! A pleasure doing swaps with you! Have a lovely holiday season!

I wonder if Mimmi and Milli were twins? 1 cent stamp…wow…no zip code…wow…

Just a street name. No house number, no zip. Crazy. But neat. I love exploring the old cards.

Today was quite the mail day!

From @megwell , a jolly Christmas sweater (is that a masterboard?):

From @geekgirl , this cool collaged scene (I’m obsessed with trying to read the words on the background papers):

And from @AudiobookLover , this sparkly wonder (how did you do this?):

Thank you all…I love how everyone is using different techniques!

I finally got photos of my 4 cards -

From @AudiobookLover - sparkly sparkles! I agree, i want to make that into an ornament.

From @curiousfae - happy tree!

From @Smmarrt a peaceful typewriter:

From @PhoenixFireDesigns a vintage holiday postcard. I just love these so much!

I am so enjoying all these cards!

Yes! I made a masterboard and then did some stenciling after I cut out the sweaters. If I did it again, I think I’d do the patterny stenciling on the masterboard and then just stencil the focal points on the individual sweaters.

Thank you @curiousfae for the beautiful card!

I’m in serious awe of your hand-lettering abilities.

This is my fifth and final card… thank you to all my partners, and to @geekgirl for organizing! :christmas_tree:

Really lovely die cut tree! Plus a note on some very cool printed paper that I can use in a future project. Very thoughtful.
Thank you!
