Butterflies once more…

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week has been good, my weekend has come early no work tomorrow having a day off – yeah!

 

I do have a card to share with you ……

 

I have used the current sketch at Fetch A Sketch for the layout and once more there are butterflies appearing :)

 

The layers of butterflies have been created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  Love this die as it is so easy to create the butterflies. 

 

The butterflies are embossed and cut when you put the die through the Big Shot.  The extra butterflies that are not used each time I place in a container for later use and they always come in handy to add that little bit extra.

 

My colours this time are Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Very Vanilla.  I have stamped the swirl from the Creative Elements stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla
Ink: Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is always room for ‘bling’ so this time the butterflies flying around all glamorous!

Special Easel Card

Hi everyone,

 

I found a tutorial for an Easel Card with a Twist and I have finally created one.

 

I have used Regal Rose for base of the card and once more I have used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.

 

I added a little sample of the Cheerful Treat DSP and found in my stash the lovely forgotten Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon to create the bow.

 

The sentiment is from Field Flowers stamp set and the Elegant Lines Textured Impression Folder makes a great background on the Very Vanilla cardstock.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Field Flowers

Card: Regal Rose, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Regal Rose

Accessories:  5/8” (1.6 cm) Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Cheerful Treat DSP, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

How is your week going……

Well its Tuesday evening and my little girl has settled back into school, so I am off to work again tomorrow after a few days break.

 

I have been busy doing some tidy up in between school drop off and pick up – you know time flies from the time you drop children off and until you pick them up again!

 

But I have been playing with a few challenges and I have used Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo and Whisper White to create some cards.

 

These are the colours that I matched to The Play Date Cafe colour challenge and the colours are all In-Colors.

 

I have also used the sketch from Create With Connie and Mary for the card layout.

 

 

I used the lovely verse from the Just Believe stamp set and I also got to use the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the Lucky Limeade cardstock.  I have been wanting to use this embossing folder for sometime now but not had the right inspiration.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Just Believe

Card: Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, 3/16” Corner Punch, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, 3/8” (1  cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

Unfortunately the picture has not captured the embossing very well and my ‘bling’ or Rhinestones look like silver brads!

 

I finished the above card and then made another card with the same layout, same colours (except the Island Indigo) and used the lovely but forgotten Creative Elements stamp set.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Just Believe, Creative Elements

Card: Concord Crush, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Ink: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  3/16” Corner Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

I used the Rock n’ Roll Technique with (Pear Pizzazz & Concord Crush ink) on the flower image  and stamped the swirl image with Pear Pizzazz.  Don’t ask me why I used the Pear Pizzazz instead of the Lucky Limeade ink pad as I couldn’t tell you but it still looks ok and I think it has come out darker than the Lucky Limeade would have.

 

Again I have used a little ‘bling’ – one of my favourites Rhinestones but again they look like brads! 

 

I have also linked this post to the challenges found at:

 

Moving Along With The Times Challenge – # 133 Blooming Marvellous

Truly Scrumptious Challenge – #72 Something Forgotten

Everybody-Art-Challenge - #177 Swirls

My Time To Craft Challenge - #171 Your Favourite Embellishment

Lollipop Crafts - #65 Anything Goes

 

Wow, two cards at the one time I am impressed with myself :)

 

Hopefully when I catch up with some friends on Friday night I will be able to do this again but I will not hold my breathe on that one, as we normally do more talking then stamping!

 

Thanks for visiting once more, see you next time….. Meg
