Sending Butterfly Wishes

Hello Everyone,

I'm sorry I missed you yesterday.  This week has been crazy.  I can't believe how many things have gone wrong and how much money we've spent in a matter of days.  Yesterday I had to pack away all my cardmaking stuff and clear the spare computer desk off from the laptop I normally use for my posts and pack it away because we were to have a new air conditioner installed.  Essentially I had two desks to clear as well as shop for both the new Washing Machine we needed and the air con, so nothing crafty has been done in the last couple of days.  Late yesterday afternoon we got a call to say it wouldn't be done until this morning, so everything had to stay cleared leaving access free for the morning.  I'm pleased to report that it was installed today and finally I got to play this afternoon and finish of a card that I had in the pipeline.

This card features (what do you think?) the Butterfly Basics stamp set and Butterfly thinlits.  I've also added the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder to the background.  Come and have a look.



The cardstock I've used is Early Espresso, Brushed Gold and Whisper White.  I've used one of the vintage Gold Glimmer brads in the butterfly body and added some gold ribbon to the top of the card.  The inks used are Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso that I've used to stamp onto the White card cut out with the Banner framelits.  Here's the full view of the card.




I think everyone has figured out by now that I am in love with the Butterfly Basics bundle.  Hope you like my card.  Have a wonderful day.

    That's a really beautiful card, fancy-looking and all. It's really nice that you are getting things down and are slowly rolling out in a new and better order. You even have a A/C unit installed, which should help in the face of the sunny weather, in all the ways it could get. Thanks for sharing that, Carolyn! More power to you!

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.

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
