Butterfly Duet Punch

Card Number 3, Hello Beautiful

April 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

This past weekend I hosted my monthly Card Buffet. I post the Buffet choices on my Facebook page and on Instagram.

Here were the choices –

I was quite funny that I was trying to figure out what card 3 was going to be. I knew I wanted to use the Butterly Gala Bundle so I had the page open for inspiration.

My C., Cranston, jumped on the top of the catalog and stayed there for over an hour! Well, that was picture worthy! And I was able to design this at 2:00 am the night before!

Isn’t it beautiful???? Luckily, I had just enough of this paper left to create enough packets for everyone to make this card!

And, everyone wanted to make it!

The pattern paper made it just gorgeous. It’s the Share What You Love Specialty. It is nice and thick and has an pearlized finish.

The layout made it so simple!!! Minimal stamping and just embossing. This is easily recreated with any Designer Series Papers and the Butterfly Duet punch. This would also work with just about any sentiment too!

What do think? Gorgeous? Easy? Are you itching to make this now??

Goodbye to Sale-a-bration 2019

March 31, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I have a farewell post for a few of the lovely Sale-a-bration items offered this year.

Today is the last day to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration items and sign-up offers.

I created some quick and easy cards using a few different products.

This was the first I card created. Simple. Beautiful. And, that sentiment!!! It’s from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set in the mini (still available until the end of May). The Designer Series Paper is the Painted Seasons, a favorite of mine!

This will be going out to all my stampin’ friends who attend my Card Buffets!

This card.

Yes, this card. I am bummed I never played with these gorgeous other stamps in this All Adorned stamp set! I’ve only used the sentiment.

Bummed because they actually LINE up to stamps this beautiful double colored image. Since they are photopolymer, you can see right through them! So clever!

This is a Sale-a-bration stamp set you can get for free!

The nice punched shape is a Sale-a-bration coordination item, the Story Label punch. Sure hope it makes its way into the next catalog. Another favorite of mine! Today is the last day to order it as well.

The last card is in honor of the all-so-wanted Butterfly Gala Bundle.

The Butterfly Duet punch is finally available!!! The price point of this bundle you can not beat either!!! Just $35 (USD)!!! It will be available until the end of May as well, whew!

It coordinated with the Sale-a-bration Designer Series paper, Botanical Butterfly. A couple of the pages you can use the punch to punch the preprinted butterflies! How easy is that?!?! Highly recommend this bundle!

I colored the paper and the butterfly with a variety of blends here.

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

A great, inspiring sketch this week!

I thought some bright, spring colors was just the way to go with this sketch!

I started with the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper for the larger rectangle. I chose two butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and punched them using the coordinating punch. Tip : I used a Post It note attached to the back of the butterfly to insert it into the punch to punch it out.

The polka dot pattern is also a pattern from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper. It was a light and fresh addition to the card.

The sentiment was stamped and framelit cut using the new Rectangle Stitched framelits. Love these!

The punch and stamp set are a terrific bundle, Butterfly Gala. Together, this just works so lovely together!
