Another Butterfly Birthday card

Hello Everyone,

Its the weekend, yippee!!

My 15 year old daughter is going out tonight with a group of work friends (first time ever), and I'm a little nervous about it.  I am an over protective Mother I'm told.  I never let her do anything, apparently.  They are going out for dinner.  I hope the girl picking her up is a good driver.  I sound panicky don't I?

Onto today's card.  I'm still awaiting a new product order and still using up some retired papers in the meantime.  This card features a strip of Winter Frost specialty patterned paper which I've cut into a banner on this card.  I've also used a fav Butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set layered and set onto a background cut with Deco Label framelits and stamped with the Work of Art stamp set.  Come and have a look at my cool butterfly.




The cardstock used is Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  The smoky slate layer has been embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder and the Birthday greeting comes from the stamp set Itty Bitty Banners.   What I really like to do with my butterflies is layer them up, so I've punched an extra plain one as a shadow out of the Bermuda bay card punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch.  I've taken a photo so you can see this a little better.



The final photo shows the full card below.




This was another simple card that I made quite quickly, but overall I'm pretty happy with the end result.  Have a lovely weekend.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
