Springtime Butterfly

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Sorry for the late update this morning!

The last few days are kinda a blur as Shawn's phone rang morning noon & night so it was sleepless and needless to say we were pretty grumpy!

I went to bed last evening at 8pm and slept until 10 this morning.

I was just beat!!

I do have a card to share today that I made to send out to a friend.

I definitely cased it from a card I saw online.

I loved how simple it was!

Nothing is popped up so it makes for easy mailing but don't you love how the butterfly wings are still free to move?! The body of the butterfly is glued down and the wings are left to move.

Such a fun card to make and that butterfly is so pretty!

Card Details:

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Lilypad DSP (SAB 20)

Accessories: Springtime Impressions Framelits, Glittered Enamel Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Springtime Impressions Framelits

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Phew, yesterday was a downright horrible weather day!

Just to pop outside the humidity took your breathe away! Blah!

I tried to hibernate inside but I had to go out and chase my dogs in every so often. 

They are always chasing a chipmunk around our yard that we have named "Chippy". 

They can smell him under the flower boxes and behind the grill on the back porch.

I hope to God they never catch him!!!

Anyways, today it is a bit better...not as hot. 

We had some rain this morning which has cooled it down.

I am trying to give my AC a break today and keeping the house closed up with just the fan on.

I have a card to share today that I made the other week with my friends.

This one uses the Springtime Impressions Framelits which I love this entire bundle!

The DSP is from the Garden Impressions paper pad. 

Another one of my fav's! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Perennial Birthday

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Whisper White, Garden Impressions DSP

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits,  Springtime Impressions Framelits, Rhinestones, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Although I did not add any rhinestones to my butterfly, Emily did on hers and it looked amazing!

Oh, and Mango Melody is a new color this year and is in the Brights color family.

So pretty!

Abstract Impressions

Hello & Happy Friday!

My card that I am sharing today is made from the Abstract Impressions bundle from the new Stampin Up Annual Catalog that goes live today!!! Finally!!

This is the only set that I ordered on my pre-order and later have come to realize I needed the Springtime Impressions Framelits that go with it. So they were on my 2nd pre-order! 

If ever there was a flower stamp set that I absolutely loved....it is Abstract Impressions! 

It reminds me of an older set that I no longer have called Roses In Winter. 

You will probably get sick of me using this suite in the days and weeks to come but I really like everything about this entire suite from the stamps to the papers....it is all so pretty!

Card Details:

Stamps: Abstract Impressions

Ink: Shaded Spruce

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Garden Impressions DSP

Accessories: Springtime Impressions Framelits, Stitched Shapes Fraemlits, Circle Layering Framelits, Corner Rounder Punch, White Pearls, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Glue

I had my mind set that I was not going to get the coordinating Framelits for this set since I have the Butterly Basics Framelits but let me tell you how much bigger this butterfly die is compared to the other ones! It cuts so nicely, too! 

WTG Stampin Up! Once again they have impressed me with some amazing changes!

Have you gotten your new catalog?

I hope you have taken notice to the new color family changes?

I absolutely LOVE the new colors as well as the new In Colors!

I think you will love them too!

My thoughts today....

I have to admit, my craft table never gets too badly covered in supplies unless it's near Christmastime and I have a million different projects going on. I try to keep it all very organized and in it's place!

Guess that is my OCD kicking in! Haha!

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have an amazing day!
