Butterfly Birthday

I could play with this set all day long.  Love all the elements in it!  This is the third card for card class in January.  I did some casing from Sandy Mathis at stampwithsandy.com .  Love the card she created and gave me a chance to use many elements all from same set!

This Butterfly Basics set and Butterfly framelits dies are in the new 2015 Occasions catalog which starts January 6th through June 2nd. You can order the stamp set and framelits as a bundle and save!  This set also comes with the choice of wood, clear or photopolymer.  I choose clear mount...knew I would use this set a lot!  

Happy last day of December and 2014!  Hope you have a safe New Year's Eve! 

Thanks for stopping by!

You're Sweet

Another Valentine's day card for card class in two weeks!  I like having lots of options for sentiments other than just Happy Valentine's Day.  I will stamp that inside but like other sentiments on front.  I love the "and" symbol.  However, my daughter saw me stamp it and thought it was some floral thing! 

This is a new set in the new Occasions (spring) catalog that starts next week on January 6th.  You can bundle this set with the paper stack for 15% savings. Love that!

  Wishing you a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

From My Heart

Preparing for my January card class in two weeks!  I have been looking forward to playing with this set and its matching punch!  I like the other sayings in the stamp set called Groovy Love but went with this small one which cuts out perfectly with the Bitty Banner framelits dies. I like green and purple together and saw another card by Erica Cerwin at pinkbuckaroodesigns.blogspot.com use these colors so no-brainer with my color palette.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Gift With Holly Jolly Tag

Wrapped a gift then needed a quick tag.  Love that in a few minutes I could punch a tag with the scallop tag topper punch and stamp two images and both punch out as well and add a little bling with some gold foil cut as a banner.  Tied this on with some gold 1/8" ribbon and ready to roll!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and great start to your Christmas week!

Holiday Home Christmas Tag

Last tag I designed for an example at Christmas tag class coming up on Monday.

Love the Holiday Home and matching dies but there are lots of very small stamps I am afraid I am going to loose.  But the good part is they make for fun additions like the tree I could place behind the house for landscape! 

I love the snow stamp!
