More Butterflies!

Hello again!

I know, 2 posts in as many hours almost!

I am trying to use up a few things that are on my desk, and so here is a card I made using a card blank that had a couple of marks on the front, and a panel of cut out butterflies that I thought didn't look even at first, but I think I was being over critical lol!

I have used the Bitty Butterfly punch & Designer Series Papers for the butterflies.

The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the ribbon is Marina Mist from the Spring/Summer catalogue.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Punch - Bitty Butterfly (S/S)

Papers - Designer Series (Subtles, Brights, Regals)

Sentiment - Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink (Daffodil Delight)

Ribbon - Marina Mist Striped Organdy (S/S)

Right, lunch then Keiran's Easter Bonnet Parade!

Byeeee!

A little packet of diamonds!

Good morning!

Ok....who hid spring??? Either that or I fell asleep last night and woke up next winter!

Oh well....perfect crafting weather! ;)

I have to make the most of today as I won't get too much crafting time this week, as Keiran is off for Easter. 

So it's deadline day! It is the very last day to order for this year's Sale-A-Bration promotion! I am very sad about it, I have to say :( It has been wonderful and I am so proud to have been a part of it in my first year as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

So, to bid a fond farewell, I have a little something to show you that I had sent out in my ladies' parcels earlier this month, that showcases some of the gorgeous SAB freebies!

I used Vintage Verses & Bloomin' Marvellous stamps and Sycamore Street Papers.

Each little envelope had a thank you card and a few of the stunning Vintage Faceted Buttons inside, like a package of little diamonds!

I finished with a little thank you from the Itty Bitty Banners set.

Little Blue Butterflies!

Good evening!

I have a lovely little card I made last night to show you...

I have simply used the Bitty Butterfly Punch, Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Blue card squares and some Pool Party Seam Binding.

This is my first 'double' bow that I found instructions for on Pinterest here. I did mine on a bow maker though...very easy and would easily make a triple too! :)#

The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Cardstock - Whisper White, Pool Party, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise

Stamp - Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink - Pacific Point

Mum & Dad's Anniversary

Good morning!

I have a card here that I made for my Mum & Dad's Anniversary on Friday...

I have used my Borders Scoring plate for the first time, and I love it! It has a clear plastic template that goes over the Scoring Board so you know exactly where to place your paper and where you are scoring, see...

So you don't have the fiddly bit trying to work out where the grooves are and scoring in the wrong place! Love it! :)

Supplies

Stamps - Papillon Pot Pourri, Hearts a Flutter

Inks - Basic Black, So Saffron

Designer Series Paper - Subtles

Tools - Borders Scoring Plate

Punches - Bitty Butterfly

Summer Afternoon

Good morning!

It certainly feels like a spring morning, if not a summer afternoon today! Let's hope it stays like this, though I suspect it's likely to snow again at some point lol!

Anyway, here is the card I have made using the Summer Afternoon free Hostess set...

Would you believe that this is the first time I have inked any of the set? Ashamed..... 

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and I've used some Neutrals Designer Series Paper.

Ok I'm off now...the washing's on the line and I have to work...have a lovely Tuesday! :)

Plaited Organza Ribbon (not easy!)

Hellloo!

How was your Monday? No Monday blues I hope!

I have just spent about half an hour trying to plait 3 pieces of organza ribbon for a card! Now you would think it would be easy right? Well I guess it would be if I had any bulldog clips to hold it to something so it doesn't keep coming undone! Ah well, I got there in the the end!

So here is the card I made using it...

I also used Pink Pirouette DSP, Secret Garden Bundle, Summer Silhouettes and Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

I tore and distressed the edges for a bit of definition.

Supplies

Cardstock - Sahara Sand, Whisper White

Stamps - Secret Garden, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Summer Silhouettes

Framelits - Secret Garden

Paper - Pink Pirouette Designer Paper (Subtles)

Ribbon - Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral Organza

In the Frame (again)

Good morning!

Well what a disaster the rugby was! I only have one thing to say...gutted! :(

So, moving on....I had a lovely evening out with my girlies last night and got drenched coming home! But this morning I've woken to bright sunshine so I'm smiling :) 

I do still have to go to work though so here is a quickie I made this morning for the Less Is More - Frame It challenge.

I have used Crosses of Hope and stamped in Regal Rose. 

I stamped off the sentiment once before stamping onto the card to make it a little more subtle. I did stamp it directly onto the frame panel originally, but it didn't stamp quite right so I had to cover it! The butterfly is the bitty butterfly punch. I finished with a few tiny nail art gems.

Supplies

Stamps - Crosses of Hope

Ink - Regal Rose

Punch - Bitty Butterfly
