White Butterfly Wedding Card

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I have access to a Demonstrator only website called Stampin' Connection.  It is full of awesome samples of projects created by Demonstrators.  There are over 75,000 members and over 195,000 samples of projects to make.  I was trying to get inspiration for a wedding card and Stampin' Connection is where I go.  I found an awesome one by Brenda Reed in July 2011.  It inspired me to make this one ...

I looked at Brenda's info page, and she lives about 2 hours from me!  In all those 75,000 members, what are the odds?

I spritzed each and every part of the front layer, butterflies, and sentiment of this card.  Oh my the bling is front and center.  I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz.  I did try the Frost White Shimmer Spritze, but I find it does not spray as fine as Champagne Mist does.  I used the same bottle and everything. 

  Stamps:  Occasionals Quotes

  Ink:  Basic Black

  Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pink Pirouette

  Other:  Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz, Designer Frames Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Wide Oval Punch, Basic Pearls

This card can be adapted to any colour to go with the colour scheme of the wedding, and would look just as awesome.

Happy Stampin' ......     

Pennant Birthday

Another card inspired by the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue.  This one I found on page 69, then changed things up and came up with this happy sunny birthday card ....

I used the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and Pennant Parade stamp set to create this awesome card.  Then I was bored with the same old, same old for the sentiment and used my Decorative Label Punch to punch off the edges of the sentiment layers.
Stamps:  Pennant Parade, Happiest Birthday Wishes
Ink:  Poppy Parade, Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade
Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake
Other:  Petite Pennants Builder Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits
I will try to get a tutorial together on how to use the Decorative Label Punch to create the sides of the sentiment layer.
Happy Stampin' ....  

Happy Easter Bunny Punchie Art Card

Back in June 2010 I saved a picture of a very cute Bunny Punch Art Image by Mercedes Webber.  Now I do not know if I got it on a blog (I did search and cannot find one), or received it in an email, or found it on Splitcoast Stampers, but thank you Mercedes for one of the cutest bunny rabbits I have seen.  It was originally on an Easter Basket made with the Stampin' Up! Scallop Envelope die. 
This month this cute Bunny is one of the images for my Monthly Punchie Class.  I did the "how to" page and made the punch images last year, and today I created the card to go with it.  I was a bit stumped, until Kim Score posted THIS cute card with her bunny on it.  I was inspired and came up with this .....

Can you believe how cute this turned out?  Here is a closer view of the bunny image ....

And here are the flowers - I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz to add some bling - well of course I did!

I used a couple of different techniques on this card - faux clouds and direct to paper.  The flowers are made out of the Island Floral Bigz Die, and the centers are Neutrals Glimmer Brads.  I did something different to the sentiment to get it to look like that, can you guess what I did?  If there is enough interest, I could do a tutorial on how I achieved it, but not until after my Punchie Class as my Stampin' Ladies will be the first to get that little tidbit of information!  If you are in the area and would like to join us for my Monthly Punchie Class, email me, the class is Tuesday, March 29 between 1 pm and 8 pm.  Hope to see you there!
This is the post for the other Punchie card we will be making .
Happy Stampin', and I hope to see you soon, In My Craft Room .... 

Just Believe Brayered Card - CASEd Card Share

This is the last one of my CASEd cards for now.  This is CASEd from Gretchen Barron, another very talented lady.  I love brayering, which this card uses.  I love clean and simple, which this card is, and I LOVE rhinestones and bling of any kind, which I made this card have!

I used almost the same colours as Gretchen, but I changed the Pretty In Pink to Pink Pirouette to make it a bit softer.  I added Basic Rhinestones to the butterfly body and made antennas for him as well.  I also added a sentiment to the bottom, and omitted the ribbon.  My Just Believe floral images are stamped in Early Espresso instead of Chocolate Chip.  So I used the same colour scheme, just used a couple of different colours.  When making this card, make sure you ink your floral images really, really well so you get good coverage and solid stamped images (yup learned this by the hard way!).
Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!  I hope your day is fabulous tomorrow, and Santa is good to each and every one of you.  I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to visit my blog!
