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.

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
