Butterfly Brilliance Birthday

Hello friends,

The Butterfly Bouquet product collection will be available to order beginning Tuesday, March 2. So today I thought I'd share a few of the cards I've made using products in this collection.

This first card uses only the Brilliant Wings Dies along with other products currently available.

My card uses a Purple Posy card base and a Basic White thin frame. The Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper is the next layer. That same paper was also used to cut out the butterfly. The butterfly is adhered to a piece of Purple Posy cardstock embossed with the Stitched With Whimsy Dies. The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set and is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. Finally, I used the Pastel Pearls along the butterfly's body.

I made these cards during last Thursday's Facebook Live. You can see that here as well as how I made the cards.

The host code for March is CZ3WPRC7. Please use this code when ordering. If your order is more than $150.00, do not use the code. Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits. However, you will still receive this month's order bonus from me.

As always, let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Happy Stampin'

Hello Friend - A Touch of Ink

Hello friends!

I haven't done much coloring lately and over this past weekend I had an overwhelming urge to do so. Not that I'm a pro, but I find it to be very relaxing. So, I pulled out A Touch of Ink and got to work creating this card.

I used Stampin' Blends to color the images on this card. The flowers also have Wink of Stella added to them for some extra sparkle. The ribbon is from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack. A Touch of Ink is a Saleabration stamp set. Saleabration ends this Sunday, February 28, so if this one is one your wish list, you have only a few days left to grab it!

Butterfly Brilliance

Hello crafty friends!

Next week, on March 2, the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper, and Natural Touch Specialty Paper will all be available for order. So, today, I want to share with you some of the cards I've made using the products in this collection.

The big bold butterflies are so fun and the papers are bright and beautiful!

For all three cards, the full color butterflies were cut out using the Brilliant Wings Dies from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and one sheet of Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.

The greetings on my cards are from Many Messages, Positive Thoughts, and Punch Party.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow evening (February 25, 2021) at 7:00 PM EST. We will make more projects using this fabulous new bundle!

As always, let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Happy Stampin'

Wonderful As You

Hello friends!

There's a stamp set in the January - June Mini Catalog, Wonderful As You, that I think has probably been overlooked by many. At first glance, this stamp set does not look like much, but after taking a closer look at the sentiments, this stamp set became a must have. Several years ago, my long time employer was sold to another owner and the company was slowly dismantled in front of our eyes. Weekly we said goodbye to co-workers that had become close friends. It was that experience that that secured this stamp set a spot in my collection. And it will stay there. I paired this set along with Comfort and Hope for the cards I'm sharing today.

They are all very simple cards, but the messages are heartfelt. And there are dozens of reasons the messages in this stamp set may be needed. Sad, but true.

Give this stamp set another look, I think you'll be happy you did!

Berry Blessings

Hello friends!

Wrapping up our farewell tour of Saleabration products is the beautiful Berry Blessings stamp set and desiger series paper. I have a few projects for you that use these products, so let's jump right in!

These three projects were all created with the products in the Berry Blessings Saleabration bundle and the Memories & More notecards. They were part of a virtual workshop I attended at the end of December. Anyone placing an order before the end of February will receive a pdf with the measurements and steps to recreate these cards. If your order is over $50, you will also receive the notecards, patterned paper, and die cuts, but not the stamps, inks, or adhesives.
