Butterfly Cards

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

I hope your enjoying the weekend!

Our weather is so nice and it gave us a chance to turn the AC off to catch a breather before more hot & humid weather appears this week.

Yesterday I sat and worked on a Christmas Stamp A Stack that I purchased. I love how they turned out and will share them later this week. For this last week of July I am sharing some Christmas in July so stay tuned!

Today I have a set of cards to share that I made for Audrey. She requested a pack of cards with butterflies without a saying. I pulled out some retired things and got to work!

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral, Basic White, Butterfly Kisses DSP (retired)

Accessories: Build A Butterfly Dies (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This set of cards turned out pretty nice! 

I hope they aren't too bright for Audrey!

All The Love Fun Fold

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Yesterday I spent the day at my stamp table working on a few projects and binge watching a Hallmark tv series called Chesapeake Shores. This show was on the Hallmark Channel for 6 seasons and I only ever seen the last season before they took it off the air. I enjoyed it and was bummed they canceled it. It also starred many actors from the channel and one was Treat Williams. He passed away last Monday in a motorcycle accident so Hallmark showed all of Season 1 in memory of him. It was so good to watch it from the beginning since i've never seen it. Kelsey showed me how to watch all of the seasons on On Demand/Comcast so that will be on my agenda the next several weeks. Anyways, I found a card on Pinterest that I wanted to learn how to make. It was created by Lisa Curcio. Here is a link to her blog that has a video tutorial on it incase you would like to make one, too! 

This fun fold has several layers so you may want to hand deliver it or check with the Post Office to see if more postage is needed but I promise you, this card will make someone smile once they open it! I pulled out the recently retired Butterfly Kisses Suite to make my card. I love the colors in the Butterfly Kisses DSP.

This card was tough to get a good picture because it does not stand up like a normal card. I'm sure once you watch the video you will see what I mean.

Card Details:

Stamps: Best Butterflies (retired)

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral, Basic White, Butterfly Kisses DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Build A Butterfly Dies (retired), Fun Flowers Resin Shapes (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Last year when this set came out in the 2022-2023 Stampin Up Annual Catalog it was the first suite on my list and honestly I have not used it very often. It is full of different butterfly dies, sayings and that DSP just makes me happy! I may try this fun fold card with the stamp girls using this suite if I can design one alittle less complicated although it packs a nice punch. 

This card will be getting sent to my friend, Vicki, in the next several weeks. I am working on a care package for her with some snacks and maybe some things she may need once she is able to eat again and that will help her get thru her chemo & radiation which she will be starting in a few weeks. I haven't gotten any updates on her but she is in my prayers daily and I hope she is healing nicely.

July & August

 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Another frosty morning here in PA but for now the sun is shining brightly and I hope it warms things up as the day goes on. I am headed to my stamp table this afternoon to work on a card order from Audrey after I get a pot of chicken corn soup made for supper. That will definitely warm the belly!

Today I am continuing to share my 2023 calendars that took me forever to get made. LOL
