A little bit of everything

Hi there - hope your day is going well.

I had stamped and punched out these butterflies intending to use them on the Matchbook Mini Album but then did not use them so I've found a proper home for them on today's card.

I love these butterflies, both the stamp set and punch, you just can't go wrong with them!

What I used:

Card:  Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red, Old Olive.

Ink:  Riding Hood Red

Stamp Sets: Butterfly Prints

Tools and other fun stuff:  Butterfly punch, Bird punch, Very Vanilla 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Border punch, Buttons sizzlits die, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Rhinestones.

Friend to Friend

As you may have already guessed I still had the same materials on my desk from yesterday's card when I decided to make this one!

What happened yesterday was that I heat embossed two butterflies, one on Very Vanilla and one on Riding Hood Red as I wasn't exactly sure which one I'd use at the time, which of course meant I had one left over.  It seemed such a shame to waste it that I built today's card around it (whereas yesterday the butterfly was the last element I decided to add - funny how the creative process works at times!)

I've always liked the sheet of DSP with the floral flourish in one corner and this was the perfect time to showcase it as well.

What I used:

Card:  Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake, Very Venilla, Love Letters DSP

Ink:  Crumb Cake, Riding Hood Red, Versamark Watermark Pad.

Stamp Sets:  Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Butterfly Prints

Tools and other fun stuff:  Butterfly punch, Wide Oval punch, Basic Pearls, Square Lattice embossing folder, Scallop Border punch, Word Window punch, Stampin' dimensionals, Stampin' sponges, paper piercing tool and mat pack.

Butterfly Love Letter

It's been a while since I last posted and my parents aren't even here yet!  Too much going on this week plus a total lack of inspiration I feel has been to blame, but today I managed to get to my crafty corner and make a card.  I had been meaning to use some more of my Love Letters DSP and in this card have combined that paper with the Buttlerfly Prints stamp set and am very pleased with the result.

And I was quite pleased how one of the Butterfly Prints actually matched the DSP houndstooth design!

I used quite a few techniques including heat embossing, dry embossing, sponging and background stamping.

What I used:

Card:  Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Love Letters DSP

Ink:  Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake, Versamark Watermark ink.

Stamp set:  Butterfly prints

Tools and other fun stuff:  Square Scallop punch, Butterfly Punch, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Basic Pearls, Stampin' sponges, embossing heat tool, black embossing powder, Stampin' dimensionals.
