Going, Going, Almost Gone

Only today and tomorrow to get your hands on any Sale-a-bration items you have your eye on.  Don't let them get away from you!

Before I go on with today's card, I need a moment of silence... this pretty paper you see on today's cards is all gone!  My heart is breaking to use the very last piece.  Oh well, there will be more pretty paper coming and we still have beautiful paper in the Annual Catalog and in the Occasions Catalog.

This card is so fast and easy and is a good way to use up those little pieces that you may have left after another project. 

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Basic Black - 4" x 5 1/4"
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 5"
Botanical Butterfly (flowers) 1 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Botanical Butterfly (gingham) 3/4" x 3 3/4"

I punched the butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - the one with the blue background.

This card I left blank so I could use whatever I may need at another time.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Saturday!

Glad We're Friends

As I was working with this card I realized that I've used the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper more than any other DSP, ever!  It is so pretty and has so many patterns that work in so many ways.

The one used here I hadn't used much, but today I am and I really like how this turned out and it is so very fast and simple!

Recipe:

Highland Heather - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Botanical Butterfly DSP - 4" x 5 1/4"

Highland Heather - 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Botanical Butterfly DSP - (for under Whisper White) - 2 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Whisper White scrap (1/2" x 2 7/8") and Highland Heather scrap (5/8" x 3") for sentiment and mat.

5/8x3

Punch the butterflies with the Butterfly Duet Punch then pop them up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I colored the Rhinestone Jewels on either side of the sentiment with my Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends.

Stamps:  Fable Friends

Ink:  Highland Heather

Inside - Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4"

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Hump Day!

Gorgeous Grape Butterflies

This is still my favorite of the butterfly paper and look how pretty it looks with a Gorgeous Grape mat.  This was super fast and easy to make.

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Gorgeous Grape - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - 3" x 4"
Whisper White and Gorgeous Grape scraps for sentiment and scallop mat

After attaching the DSP to the Gorgeous Grape, I wrapped a piece of Organdy Ribbon around the two pieces before attaching them to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamps - Butterfly Gala
Ink - Gorgeous Grape

Thank Goodness it's Friday and Thank YOU for looking in today!

Swap Card for January

Since we vote on our favorite swaps at our team meeting, I didn't want to post mine until after the event.  Now I can post it!  When I make a swap, it is usually just a card front, so there is no inside, but since there is no sentiment on the outside, you could do just anything you want inside.

Recipe:
Basic Black - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic Black - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" - embossed with Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - 1 1/4" x 4 7/8" AND 1" x 4"
Whisper White - 1 1/8" x 5" (under the small DSP Strip)
Butterfly punched from Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper

Thank you for looking in today!  Hope you have a Happy Hump Day!

Building Up Birthday Stash

My second package of FREE Botanical Birthday Designer Series Papers arrived and I was so happy I just had to make some cards with this beautiful paper.  Cut at 3" x 4", I was able to get 12 pieces out of one 12" x 12" page which leaves me another page to use another way.

This also gives me a chance to use the FREE Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack which matches perfectly with the Designer Series Paper.
