Daisy Garden Card

Hello and happy Earth Day! Usually I like to go outside and do some spring cleaning and plant flowers on Earth Day. However, today in Oklahoma it's just way too windy. So, I decided to play with the Daisy Garden stamp by Stampin' Up! instead. The colors used include: Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody. A butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was added and the sentiment is from the retired Special Moments stamp set from sale-a-bration. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. So glad you stopped by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Butterfly Card - TMS #566

Hello! It's Tuesday again and the start of a new sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This weeks sketch was designed by Debbie Foster and it's perfect for those larger sentiments you want to showcase. The butterfly saying used is by Stampabilites (from 2010) and it's one of the first stamps I bought when I started making cards. One of my favorite things about summer is seeing all the pretty butterflies fluttering among the colorful flowers. So, I decided this stamp was perfect for this weeks sketch. We would love for you to join us and share your take on the sketch. Click HERE for all the challenge details and design team inspiration. Just remember to link your creation by 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Butterfly Gala Note Card

Happy Friday! I think I figured out why I haven't wanted to make much lately... it's time to clean. My work space is overflowing and I desperately need to organize. So, that's what I need to do. It will make finding things easier and maybe then I won't be so frustrated. Are you a messy crafter like me, or are you the organized type? Feel free to share any organizing tips that help keep your crafty space under control.

Earlier this week the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog was released. Lots of pretty new products! I was thrilled they carried over the Butterfly Gala stamp set from the occasions catalog. The colors were chosen from the Bird Ballard dsp and include: Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. After stamping the butterflies with Memento black ink they were colored with Stampin' Blends markers. Once the butterflies were punched they were adhered to the embossed panel (retired Garden Trellis embossing folder). The sentiment was stamped, fussy cut and layered onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock that was die cut with a Stitched Nested Labels die. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
