The Gift of Butterflies

Happy Valentine Day!  And the final (for now) butterfly design is this one.  Again I used Gorgeous Grunge – and to vary the width of the lines, I masked off sections of the card using Post It notes.  This way I could fit all 7 colors on there.  What did we do before Post it notes?  I love this sentiment from Gifts of Kindness. 

Supplies
Stamp Set -Gifts of Kindness, Gorgeous Grunge
Card Stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Daffodil, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Ink -Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Daffodil, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Etc – Beautiful Wings Embosslit

It has been so refreshing to work with these colors – especially since all this snow is just white!  Hugs, Fran

Butterfly Heart

Inspired by Pinterest – a heart full of butterflies.  To make this card, I used the Heart Framelit – but instead of die cutting, I traced the heart shape onto my card stock very lightly.  Then I die cut lots of butterflies using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and glued them in the heart keeping them all inside the line.  The Embosslits are great because they cut and emboss in one step.  Once they are placed just erase the line.  I even gave my sentiment a rainbow feel! 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Love You More
Card Stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Daffodil, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Heart Framelit, Beautiful Wings Embosslit

Think of all the shapes you could do with this idea!  I have lots of butterflies left over – so you might have to put up with butterflies for a few days.  Hugs, Fran

This is a card I cased from Splitcoast by Nichol Tugrul using the Secret Garden set and Honeycomb embossing folder.  This one uses So Saffron, Pool Party and Pink Pirouette. 

Here I did the flowers in blue – Not Quite Navy, Pool Party and Island Indigo.  The sentiment is from Blessing from Heaven and it’s stamped in Not Quite Navy.

You can just glimpse the inside stamping which is from Thoughts and Prayers. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Secret Garden, Blessings from Heaven (or Teeny Tiny Wishes)
card stock – Pool Party Coordinations, water color paper, Wild Wasabi
Ink – so Saffron, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette OR Not Quite Navy, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Etc – Secret Garden Framelits, Not quite Navy ribbon, white embossing powder, aquapainter, Honey comb embossing folder, sander

So thanks to Nichol for a lovely idea!  Hugs, Fran

I have a feeling that this is going to be one of my “go to” sets –  Make a Cake (page 45, 126340/126342).  My pennants look a bit larger than those in the catalog.  The idea is to punch them out and then trim them down (I’m just guessing here!) 

Stamp Set – Make a Cake, A Word for You
card stock – Midnight Muse, Primrose Petal, Whisper White, Subtle Collection Pattern DSP, Patio Party DSP
Ink – Midnight Muse, Primrose Petal, Summer Starfruit, Baja Breeze
Etc – Dazzling Details,  Beautiful Wings embosslit, Baker’s Twine, Scallop Border punch, Petite Pennants punch

Then you can add a tag –

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

I cased this layout from someone on Stampin Connections – and now I can’t find it (hate when I do that!)  I changed the placement and kept the colors.  Sprinkled Expressions is a SAB set – free with a $50 purchase! 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Sprinkled Expressions
Card stock – Whisper White, Real Red
Ink – Real Red
Etc – Edglelit die and Adorning Accents embossing folder, Real Red satin ribbon, Basic Rhinestones

My lack of memory probably comes from cutting out 80 flip cards.  I have weird measurements running through my brain.  Go figure!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

But it didn’t photograph very well. This is a 3 x 6 card made with the upcoming Sale a bration set Fresh Vintage.  I realized after I had made it that the embosslit is retired.  I stamped the floral image in Whisper White and then stamped over it – slightly off (yes, I meant to do that) in Early Espresso.  In real life, it’s not so blurry – promise!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Fresh Vintage, Elementary Elegance (SAB sets)
card stock – Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink – Craft Whisper White, Early Espresso
Etc – Simple Flower embosslit (retired), 1/8 Very Vanilla taffeta,

It’s funny how I look at the photo as I’m putting it up and start thinking about how I would change it!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran
