Here I used the Best Butterflies Bundle and the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper.

These colors are fresh and fun. Soo appropriate for Spring!

This was such a great layout, I played around with it. I rotated the sketch and it looks just as pretty too!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

Optional Theme : Flower

I decided not to use a flower here. Instead, a wonderful gift –

I am playing with a few more items before they retire from Stampin’ Up. We always know the Designer Series Paper retires. I used the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper for this bright and bold card. It is on sale for $9.60!

The sweet ‘bow’ on the package it actually part of a butterfly from the Build a Butterfly Dies. This just shows an additional way to used things.

The sentiment is also retiring. It is from the Art Gallery stamp set. That set has several wonderful greetings in a simple, clean font. And, some pretty two step flowers.

The magic of this card is the inside –

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Sorry I’ve missed a few weeks…….life. 

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

These are my favorite layouts! They are great for multiple cards like the Stack, Cut, and Shuffle types. Here, I did just a single card –

Just as sweet as can be, right? These light and bright colors remind me of summer! And, so does this stamp set.

I used the Best Butterflies Bundle and coordinating Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper!

For the sentiment, I partially stamped the ‘sending’, then die cut it a couple of times to match the other stamped and die cut sentiment.

For cards like this, I always make a template. I can recreate a similar card in the future and not waste any pattern paper!

Blogging Friends June 2022 Blog Hop – Step It Up

· 1 Comment

Happy Friday my stampin’ friends!

It’s been a while since I got together with this talented group of stampers. We’d like to inspire you with some great ideas today!

Our theme this month is one card, three way, showing different crafting styles!

Here are my three cards –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Best Butterflies Bundle, Best Butterflies, Build A Butterfly Dies, Decorative Circle Punch, Butterfly Kisses DSP, Starry Sky 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon, 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots, Blogging Friends Blog Hop, BFBH, #simplestamping

I used the Best Butterflies Bundle and the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper. I used the same layout for each card, but adding a little something each time to ‘step it up’.

This first card is for the ‘beginning crafter’. It is a great card, simple in design with minimal dimension. Actually, totally my style of a card.

‘Casual crafter’ for this one. I added the Fresh Freesia card base, popped up the Basic White layer and sentiment. Love this style as well.

‘Avid crafter’ for this stepped up beauty! I added a bit more dimension here, the Starry Sky Metallic Ribbon, and the 2022-2024 Matte Decorative Dots. Just gorgeous adding these other items!

So, which is your favorite?
