Another Suspended Butterfly Easel Card in Wisteria

Hello Everyone,

How has your day been?  I would have to say it's been a challenge for me to stay on top of things and I'm finding I have a serious time management problem in trying to prep for tomorrow's class.  A day full of constant (not unpleasant though) interruptions and my order arriving late didn't help.  I need to learn how to say No to people, LOL!

Onto today's card.  Remember the Suspended Butterfly Easel card I made.  Due to popularity by request and some customers orders, I'm teaching this card at tomorrow's class.  It's a little fiddly but so worth it, I think.  I changed the colours a bit for this one.


The base cardstock this time is Wisteria Wonder, combined with Whisper White, Coastal Cabana and Rose Red.  The window is cut using the Deco Label frame and the flower comes from the set Secret Garden while the butterflies come from the stamp set Papillon Potpourri which also has matching punches.  My background Whisper White card was embossed with the Pretty Prints embossing folder and the greeting comes from the Artisan Label stamp set which also has a matching punch.


The suspended butterflies are doubles, stuck back to back either side of the elastic and adhered with Sticky Strip with some colour sponged in the centre.




Thanks so much for calling in today.  Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
