A Card Exchange of Sweetness

I was so inspired by Lisa Kettell's 

Christmas Card Exchange!  

I spoke with Lisa and she is excited and supportive that DIY will do the Valentine Card Exchange 2019.

We will be inviting you to participate at the 

DIY Forum page - click here.  

OR leave a comment here and send your mailing address to Artsociates@gmail.com

Some people do not have the opportunity to receive Valentine cards, this exchange should be such a positive way to share good cheer and friendship!

Just a few simple guidelines - handmade, Valentine (love, sweet, heart, friendship, snarky) theme and a promise to mail on time for Valentines day.  We will provide a mailing list for you.  You can choose to be in a group of 5 cards, 10 cards or 20 cards.  That means you will mail cards to your list members and then will receive cards from the sweet names on your list.  That's where the Promise comes in!

Lisa Kettell Holiday Card Exchange

HO HO HOLIDAYS

You may know Lisa Kettell, an artist,  a joy-bringer, a Bright Spirit and all around super person!  She exudes charm, positivity and such a warmth.

Lisa organizes a Christmas card exchange on Facebook each year for anyone (please follow the rules) to participate.   By the time you read this, the card exchange will be closed but you can make a note to remind yourself for next year.

I thought I would share my card creations with you and in a December blogpost I will share the cards I receive.

Forming ideas.  I grab a stash of supplies and GO.  It helps me to get the creative mojo going!  I knew I wanted the cards to be lush and wonderful.  Maybe soft lavender or lime green!   

Yes, I often have a schizophrenic style.

I began by painting chipboard diecuts with chalk paint.

But when going through boxes I found a template that inspired me...I may change in midstream!

More to come from this fun event with Lisa.

Lisa is taking a short break for now, but you can still follow her Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LisaKettellDesigns
