Splash of Color

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I want to share with you the last card the girls made last week at our Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. I saved the prettiest one for last!

Card Details:

Stamps: Layers of Beauty

Ink: Summer Splash

Cardstock: Summer Splash, Peach Pie, Basic White, Flowers in Bloom DSP

Accessories: Spotlight on Nature Dies, Butterflies Thinlits Dies (retired 2015), Peach Pie Ribbon, Summer Splash In Color Shimmer Gems, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This pretty paper comes from the 2025-2026 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. So far I have only got the paper and not the stamps or dies that coordinate with it. Their on my Wish List! LOL 

Yesterday we woke up to cloudy & much cooler weather than we have been dealing with. This morning it felt like Fall as I stepped outback with Bailee. I loved sleeping with my window open last night. It can stay this way the rest of the year! LOL

Happy Birthday Butterfly Set

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

They seem to go by rather quickly and before ya know it....it's Monday!

It's looking like a dreary, wet Monday here in PA and that's fine with me as long as it's not snow. 

I really could use a week of warm temps and lots of sunshine though!!

Today I have a pretty set of cards to share....almost reminds me of spring!

 

My customer asked for a pack of cards with butterflies on. I know I could have used the new butterfly in the Beautiful Day set but it was a bit to big for that panel so I opted to use a butterfly die from the Butterflies Thinlits. My DSP comes from the SaleABration Catalog 2018. I love the colors and prints in this pack of paper!

Card Set Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Day (sentiment)

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Bubbles & Fizz DSP

Accessories: Butterflies Thinlits, Small Rhinestones, Lemon Lime Twist Striped Ribbon, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I LOVE making Z Fold style cards! 

Do you have a certain style of card that you enjoy making?

Butterfly Basics

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! They always seem to fly by so quickly!

I wrapped up my huge card order on Saturday and my customer already started on another list of cards she needs for next time. She surely keeps me on my toes!

My card today is one I created for her for her granddaughter who is celebrating a birthday this week!

I love the Blackberry Bliss color from the retired In Colors. 

Thankfully, I have plenty of cardstock & ink to hold me over awhile!

This card is a case but I am not sure who from. The card was in my favorites folder and no name was attached to it. The original had all kinds of pretty embellishments on it but I kept mine simple.

Butterfly Basics HB Card:

Stamps: Butterfly Basics

Ink: Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand, Something Borrowed DSP (retired)

Accessories: Butterflies Thinlits, Blackberry Bliss Button, White Pearls, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I know my customer is crazy about the butterflies so i'm pretty confident she will like this card....atleast I hope so!

I have a quick card to share today!

I made a card like this a few weeks ago. This time I tried it in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Melon Mambo then I used the new Thick Melon Mambo Twine to tie a bow and finished it up with some rhinestones.

Pretty Butterfly Card

Hello & Happy Friday!

Do you remember the butterfly diecut card I made one day this week...well, I made another in the same colors as Debbie Olchefski! Those colors are SO pretty together!

Those colors are:

Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach & Sweet Sugarplum

and all 3 are part of the New In Colors for 2016-2018!

These colors are very pretty together, aren't they?

Happy Birthday Butterfly Card:

I bet this design would be pretty in some blue colors or even fall colors!
Humm, I might have to experiment!

WooHoo! Let the weekend begin!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Work Of Art Butterfly

Hello & Happy Monday!

It sure is a hot one here in PA today! 

Thought about taking the bikes out for a ride this evening but we shall see.

I am really enjoying this new adventure and I can finally say that I have hit my first weight loss goal!

Anyways, today I had some time to get inky. I was running out of steam trying to finish up this card...probably a sign I was up way to early this morning!

I seen a card that caught my eye last week from Dawn Olchefski .

Here is my case of her beautiful card...

I switched up the colors and used a different sentiment. I really love the soft colors that Debbie used on hers but I was looking for a bolder look. I used Dapper Denim (new In Color), Emerald Envy (new In Color) & Rich Razzleberry. I used the Work Of Art stamp set for the colored swatches and then cut out the butterfly using the Butterfly Thinlits. Once the butterfly is cut out, adhere your stamped piece or negative on your cardbase then put Tombow Liquid glue on the butterfly diecut but just in the midsection. You do NOT want to glue the entire butterfly down. I fluffed up the wings and added some small white pearls to finish it.

Diecut Butterfly Card:

Stamps: Sassy Salutations (retired), Work of Art

Ink: Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Whisper White

Accessories< Butterfly Thinlits, Small White Pearls, Tombow Liquid Glue

Those ink swatches really make a pretty colorful card!

********************

I couldn't agree more!

Happy Monday, friends!

Thanks for stopping by & have a terrific day!
