Butterfly Thoughts

A Dozen Thoughts 02

Here’s one of the cards we did in Card Club this month.  It uses the new Designer Series paper – Lullaby.  To do this fold you cut the Hello Honey cardstock to 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score at 4 1/4.  Here’s the inside –

Pretty Colors

Here are all the new In Colors in one card!  The original idea for this card came from Mary Brown.  Her card used 3 of the new colors – I simply expanded on the idea and used all 5.  Love that!

Supplies
Stamp Set – A Dozen Thought
Cardstock – Whisper White, Tangelo Twist, Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss
Ink – Memento Tuxedo Black
Etc – 1″ square punch, Itty Bitty Accent punch pack, rhinestones, 2014-16 In Color ribbons

Thanks Mary, for a great idea!  Hugs, Fran

Fly Away

There are lots of things to celebrate at this time of year!  The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge Team was challenged this month to use the word “fly” as their inspiration.  I started with the inspirational sentiment from Really Good Greetings – thinking “graduation” – and did this card.  

I paper pieced a hot air balloon and added it to the Lucy Label insert.  I love this insert because you can use it for anything!  The “bravo” is from  A Dozen Thoughts.  The Lace tape is retiring – hurry!  Then I added a little line of flags to help celebrate the big event.  Here’s a look at the “mechanics” of the card –

Supplies
Stamp Sets – A Dozen Thoughts, Really Good Greetings
Cardstock – Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango
Etc – Lucy Label die, 1 3/4″ circle punch, Candy Dots, Doily tape, flag punch

Celebrating is a lot of fun!  Hugs, Fran
