I created a bunch of swap cards for our Control Freaks team recently, so I’ll be showing you some pretty projects. For today, I am showing you my card for the swap using the new Nested Friends Bundle and also new is the Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper.

I had a blast adding all of the beautiful layers upon layers to this card. I especially love the diecut nest. Some of the diecut guts on my nest remained intact so I purposely left them there because I love the look of it:

Card Products Used:

• Stamps: Nested Friends
• Inks: Pool Party, Early Espresso, Sweet Sorbet
• Cardstock: Pool Party, Early Espresso, Sweet Sorbet, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Basic White
• Designer Paper: Country Gingham 6″ x 6″
