Another Butterfly Card

I really enjoy creating cards with a butterfly motif. They really make a card pretty. I have 3 friends with birthdays in February so I have to get out my butterfly net and round up some pretty ones for my cards. 

             

Here is the first one for a friend who loves purple.

I used watercolor paper to stamp and color with copic markers one of the stamps from the Anna Griffin 18th Century Garden stamp series.

I used Sizzix's stamp and die-cut "Framelits" butterflies #3 to create the butterflies. Some stickles and copic coloring on the butterflies made them really pop. They were attached to Spellbinders die fancy tag two.

Some paper source 1/4 inch cream ribbon and Martha Stewart's arch punch completes the recipe.

To Thank You

Being a paper crafter I have a room full of supplies at the ready in case there is a need to make a card fast. I needed a thank you card and this what I came up with on the fly.
It didn't take too long to whip up after I pulled out the big shot, scoring board and fired up the cutting machine❤
Aren't the butterflies pretty? They are from Papertrey Ink's Beautiful Butterflies Die Collection.
The purple paper is called "beet" from Paper Source.

Peacock Alley

Hello everyone,

I wanted to show you a card I made after finding this lovely peacock cuttlebug embossing folder on clearance at hobby lobby.

I  used a couple of techniques on this card. I used the sandpaper technique on DCWV "white core" jewel colored cardstock after embossing the folder. The other technique was to run the sanded embossed card through the xyron (image side down) with the image receiving the adhesive and then once it was sticky applied glitter to the entire image. 

The peacocks needed a little more pop than the sanding and glittering so I used my white galaxy marker to color in the peacocks. The background paper is some very pretty paper I bought at Paper Source.

Mother's Day Card

I got my mojo running for this bloghop and what better way than to celebrate the lovely ladies in your life. Silhouette images seem to be popular this Mother's Day so I jumped on the bandwagon. My inspiration for this card came from seeing the cover of the Paper Source catalog. I used one of the more mature looking silhouettes for my card. Hope you enjoy yourself looking around our blog and Happy Mother's Day to you all.
