Butterfly Fun Frame Card

Hello Everyone,


How has your weekend been?  Its been an eventful one for us this weekend.  I had my final class of the year yesterday and we have a great time, with a delicious morning tea, followed by Christmas in Cooroy later in the afternoon and evening.  It did rain, but that didn't dampen the parade one little bit, it only helped cool things off.  The Fireworks still went off in the evening and they were a great end to the night. 

Today I have one of the cards to show you that we made in class.  This was a simple elegant card and the design was inspired by something made recently at the Paper Angels Charity event.  I've made so many Christmas Cards lately, that I was keen to do butterflies for a change as I've been missing them.  Come and have a look.



The cardstock is all Whisper White.  I've only used Vellum for the Papillon Potpourri butterfly which has been stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Blushing Bride embossing powder.  Also used up some vintage Blushing Bride vintage pleated ribbon.    I've used the Fun Frames embossing folder to frame my vellum butterfly.


The greeting comes from the stamp set Blooming with Kindness and is stamped in Blushing Bride Ink.

Yes, I know this card is simple, but I love its simplicity and cleanness.  Would love to hear your thoughts though.  Enjoy what's left of your 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. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
