Just a Note

I wanted to make a little gift for a friend of mine who is doing something really nice for me and I thought she might like these.  Besides, the gingham is so pretty, I just had to use more of it!

These are note card size 5" x 3 1/2" and are available with envelopes from my store.  See the links below for shopping options.  I just love these little note sized cards.

Recipe:
Stampin' Up! Note Cards and Envelopes
Gingham Gala - 4 3/4" x 3 1/4"
Whisper White - 3 1/2" x 2"
Butterfly Duet Punch

Stamp:  I used Home to Roost from Sale-a-Bration, I wanted the notes to say "Just a Note" so they could be used for anything.

Cutting Tip - to get the most of of your 6" square, and have paper left over to also decorate the envelope flap, cut off the 3 1/4" width first and then cut that strip to the 4 3/4" length.  The rest gives you plenty for placing on the flap and even more left over for a strip inside or on another card.

Thank you for looking in today.  I'm on my way to our monthly workshop with the girls and I'm really looking forward to it. 

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!

Big Gingham or Little Gingham?

Which do you like best, the one with big gingham squares or little gingham squares.  At first I preferred the little ones the most, and I think I still do, but the big squares don't look too bad either.

Recipe:
Highland Heather - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Gingham Gala - Highland Heather - 4" x 5 1/4"
Botanical Butterfly - die cut with Layering Circles
Basic Black - die cut with Layering Circles scallop
Botanical Butterfly punched with Butterfly Duet Punch
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" - inside panel

I added a small leftover piece of the Gingham Gala inside to add a little extra color.

Thank you for looking in today.  I will probably be spending the day with Icy Hot.  On Saturday my youngest son came over and we (mostly he) cut down all the overgrowth of small trees that were taking over a part of the yard where they didn't belong.  Then we dragged it all around to the front of the house for bulk trash pick up.  I've found muscles I didn't know I had and they all hurt!  LOL

Have a Blessed Sunday and HAPPY ST. Patrick's 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.

Recipe:  (Grapefruit Grove and Highland Heather used for these two cards.
Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Basic Black - 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - 3" x 4"

Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" (inside panel)
Whisper White and Basic Black - cut with Layering Circles

Stamps:  Beautiful Bouquet, You're Inspiring, Around the Corner

Ink:  Basic Black and Grapefruit Grove

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Tuesday!

Butterflies Everywhere!

More butterflies than you know what to do with and here are more!  Even though these butterflies aren't the size that matches the Butterfly Duet Punch, they can still be punched and be perfectly beautiful!  

Simply cut out a row of butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (FREE with a Sale-a-bration qualifying purchase) and then simply line the Butterfly Duet Punch up with the design and punch, punch, punch!

I used them on these little thank you notes.

Recipe:
Whisper White - 3" x 6", scored and folded at 3"
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4", then cut diagonally
Butterflies punched from Botanical Butterfly DSP - popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals
Rhinestones to bling it up!
