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 think i misunderstood the challenge a bit. I thought i had to make a card you could use. THat’s why all my cards are blank. I should have added a note as the return address doesn’t show my name her in in the group.sorry

Embossed goodness! Lovely sparkles.

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.

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!

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