Beautiful Butterflies

March 28, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Sunday!

How about some gorgeous cards?

Right?!?!

I am offering this as a Class To-Go and have a few kit lefts! I know, I am quite surprised myself! Shoot me an email if you’re interested.

As you know, I am in love with these butterflies from the Brilliant Wings Dies! So I have been making, and making, and making, using them.

These cards are probably my favorite!

Each of the three tall ones use the same size pieces.

I used the same color scheme for these with the Love You Always 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

As you can see I added the Love You Always Foil for the butterflies. Gorgeous!

For this pair, I use the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate using both sides, one is gold, the other silver.

For these butterflies, I used gold or silver foil.

The whole set is simply stunning!

For the sentiments, I chose light and airy sentiments from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set.

So what do you think? Beautiful cards, right!?!?!

Hello! Welcome to another post and fun card fold today!

Today, I created a Circle Flap Card –

Now opening the flap –

And, again –

Sort of like a tri-fold!

I used this gorgeous Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Love You Always Foil Sheets for the heart die cut and the heart border. So, so pretty!!

Here is how I made this card –

base is 4 1/4″ x 11″
score at 4 1/4″, 8 5/8″
pushing punch all the way in, with the 8 5/8″ score line in center, punch a 2 1/4″ circle
add a 2″ punched circle to decorate
pattern paper is 4″ x 4″
decorate however you like
I added a clear Velcro dot to keep it closed

I have made these before. They are just quick and fun! What do you think? Want to give it a try?

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Red Hot Love

February 5, 2021 · 3 Comments

Happy Friday!

Thank you for stopping by!

To start our day, we will share a lot of ideas with a blog hop.

Our theme is Valentine, ‘red hot love’. Surprise, I am NOT using my favorite kit today, lol!

How about a red hot note for your loved one?? Lol!

I used the Lots of Hearts bundle for this sweet card.

Look at all these pretty dies –

The Many Hearts Dies cut the two hearts, as well as the nifty XOXO at the top and bottom!

The center of the heart is the Love You Always Designer Series Paper. Here are the other three colors in the pack –

Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, and Sahara Sand. All so pretty with the foil accents! Pictures do not do it justice at all!

What do you think? I’d love you to leave a comment before you head on to the next blog!

Check back later today for my FunFold Friday project!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Non-Traditional Valentine

January 23, 2021 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a non-traditional Valentine card (no reds or pinks).

I got this! Having fun with this number –

Not having fun photographing all the metallics here! Lol!

I wasn’t sure what I was going to create. I just started cutting things!

First cut was the heart in the Sahara Sand Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper using the Be Mine Stitched Dies.

Next was the Silver Foil Always and Love sentiments. They needed grounding. I cut the outline out in Blackberry Bliss. Both of these came from the Always Dies.

I had a Stitched So Sweetly rectangle ready to go. I added a Greenery Embossing Folder panel.

Things came together as I added the Oh So Ombre strip and the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots.

What do you think? Personally, I LOVE IT!!!!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

Such a wonderful sketch this week! Great for lots of creative ideas! I went with a theme of loving gratitude –

Pretty. Pretty. Pretty!

I used the Lots of Hearts Bundle –

So many great things in this bundle!

I paired it with this gorgeous Love You Always 12″ x 12′ Specialty Designer Series Paper –

Each color has a pretty foil pattern.

The stamped sentiment is also from the bundle. I repeatedly stamped it on Very Vanilla. All these elements coordinate so nicely! What do you think?
