This is a simple Circle Accordion card – just two panels and some stamping.  (okay, and some butterflies!)  I used Gifts of Kindness and stamped the circles – punched some small butterflies from vellum cardstcok – added pearls and that is that.  The Marina Mist and So Saffron colors make it soft and “spring-like.” 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Gifts of Kindness
Cardstock – Marina Mist, Whisper White, vellum cardstock, Polka Dot DSP
Ink – So Saffron, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Circle Accordion die and Square Frame Edges(Elizabeth Craft Designs), Pearls, small butterfly punch

I’m a bit anxious to see spring flowers!  Hugs, Fran

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

Sometimes the paper is so pretty that it stands on it’s own.  That’s how I feel about Venetian Romance (130144.)  Paired with Karen Burniston’s Pop It Up Pivot Butterfly insert – and it’s beautiful. 

I simply adhered to pieces of Designer Series paper together and used the Butterfly Pivot to show the beautiful designs. The die comes with all the extra pieces so I was die cutting scraps all over the place!  I used the Agatha Edges die to cut the one side of the card. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Gift of Kindness
Card stock – Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Venetian Romance DSP
Ink – Soft Suede
Etc – Pop It Up Butterfly Pivot and Agatha Edges Thinlit, Word Window punch, Delicate Lace Tape

It’s also nice to have thinking of you/sympathy cards on hand instead of trying to make them in the moment.  Hummmm, guess I’ll make a few more.  Hugs, Fran
