Adventure Bound Butterfly card

Hi Everyone,

Its been another busy Thursday starting off very early today for my youngest to catch a ride at 7am to an interschool Netball carnival.  Our girls were a junior team up against older and more experienced senior teams, so you can imagine, it didn't end well, but they did gain valuable experience.  I then had to come back home to pick up my older daughter, run her to school then have my Physio appointment for my ongoing shoulder problem, have a short stint at home before picking up eldest again who has a short day at school on Thursdays and then back again at the end of the school day for the youngest.  Always on the run, lol.

It was a wonder I got anything done here today, but I have been trying because I have a small card class at home here tomorrow.  Thank goodness I had a card already prepared for today's post.   Come and have a look.




I've used the Adventure bound wood panel paper from the stack on a Strawberry Slush card base and added a layered butterfly on top cut with the Butterfly framelits consisting of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Basic Grey card and Whisper White card stamped with a Butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set with Rose Red ink.  Its been finished off with a Metal rimmed pearl.  Here is the full view of my card below.



I've added a birthday greeting from the Vintage Well Scripted stamp set punched with the Extra large Oval punch.   This was a very clean and easy card, quite quick to make, but so effective.  I always think the layered butterflies add such a Wow to any card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day.

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
