Butterfly Gift Bags

These are some the bags i decorated for card classes the past two nights!  I wanted to show off the largest butterfly die for the Butterfly thinlits dies in the new 2015 Occasions catalog.  I also sponged color onto some vintage flower trim to decorate the center of the butterflies!  The guest took their cards home in the bags and can add a sentiment or some ribbon and reuse the bags with a gift!

Hope you have a lovely Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Basic Butterfly Card

I decided to play around designing a one layer card.  I guess this counts since butterfly is a die cut!  I had the extra butterfly cut out on my desk and decided to challenge myself to make a card with out adding any more layers and just the Butterfly Basics set!  It is good to challenge yourself and do something you usually do not do or you cause yourself to get in a rut! 

I colored the pearls with the lightest crumb cake blendie marker.  I inked up with Old Olive but stamped off wit the leaves or fern stamp.  (I think it looks like a fern stem) 

I hope you have a fab Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

PP227 Great Big Thanks!

I started this color challenge by looking through my Moonlight designer series paper stack and see what print I could use in either Sahara Sand or Lost Lagoon.  I decided to use these cool raindrops??? or whatever they are as the main background.  I used a stamp from Oh My Goodies and inked it up in Calypso Coral and stamped it again in Lost Lagoon. The Coral was cut with the Deco Label framelits dies and I hand cut the thanks from the Lost Lagoon image and layered it over with a dimensional. 

Easy and fast.  Thanks for stopping by and have a awesome Monday!

Miss You Butterfly

I made another simple clean card today for my daughter at college!  Of course, it had to be my fav color-purple!  Took me a few mins to make and has a wow effect with the butterfly.  I can not say enough for these dies!  So glad SU! decided to keep on trend!  I cut the butterfly out of the Whisper White piece and then stamped my sentiment and then adhered to a card base of Wisteria Wonder.  I then took the die cut butterfly and adhered it with two glue dots. A little bling in center finishes it off!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful Sunday!

Simple Hello Life

I made a quick and simple hello card for my mom.  I mail her a card every Fri. or Sat. so she gets around Tuesday in Georgia.  If not there by Thursday, she is on phone calling me!  Anyway, I used a quick layout from Freshly Made Sketched before the holidays and added my sentiment on chalkboard paper with the chalk ink in Rose Coral. 

I hope you have a fab weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PPA235 Trio Of Butterflies

I just love the new set Butterfly Basics and this butterfly is my favorite in the set because of the lace print.  Loving that it also has a matching die to cut it out for me!

 When I saw the trio of blue, I immediately thought of the butterfly trio to rock these colors!

I hope you will play along on the color challenge this week! 

 I needed some cards in my stash that I can use for any occasion, so I opted to not include a sentiment.  I added some Pool Party sponged to the honeycomb embossed background to give some more depth and plenty of pearls for the dainty effect!

Hope you enjoy your Thursday and thanks for stopping by!
