Bee-autiful Details & Bold Colours A Creative Inker Swap Spotlight

By Angela Palmer Jan–April 2025 Mini Catalogue

💌 Why We Swap

Card swaps are more than just creative exchanges—they’re acts of encouragement, inspiration, and community. Within the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator world, swaps allow us to:

  • Share techniques, layouts, and colour palettes
  • Build connection across teams and ministries
  • Celebrate the courage it takes to create and share handmade work
  • Spark fresh ideas for classes, outreach, and personal crafting
    This particular swap was part of the Creative Inker Team Swap for the Jan–April 2025 Mini Catalogue. Though this post comes a little later than planned, I want to honour the time, care, and creative energy poured into this card. It’s a standout example of thoughtful design and heartfelt detail.

🌟 Featured Swap Card by Angela Palmer

Angela’s card is based on one of the sketches from page 13 of the Mini Catalogue. It showcases bold colour choices, layered textures, and a sweet bee embellishment that ties everything together with charm.
