July 12th 2015 butterflies away

 Love, Love, Love this butterfly thinlit from Stampin' Up! (137360) This is the largest image and it is almost too big for the standard card. I love the details!

 The background was done in the boekh (pronounced "bouquet") technique, white ink stamped in circles over the soft background of color.

Pearls add the body for the butterfly. I love the colors and this design.

Blooming with Kindness take 2

Here is the same image as yesterday, even stamped in the same color, Melon Mambo, however I matted the image and verse with black and green card stock (not sure which green I used on this card)
I moved the verse to the middle instead of the right lower corner.

I do seem to be missing ribbon and/or button(s) but every card can't be perfect. Right?

Thanks for stopping by!

Blooming with Kindness

 This set, Blooming with Kindness #131961 is being retired by Stampin' Up! this year, I like the simplicity of the flower my favorite however are the words, I like the font they used a fancy script.

I used Melon Mambo ink and paper.  The embossing folder is called Arrows #132187.

I have another variation for my 'next' post.

Happy

It sounds easy, Be Happy!

Happy is more than a word, it is feeling, a state of mind, I truly believe that if you make it a point to be Happy, Happiness will find you, or you will find Happiness is your day to day situations.

I am not saying that I am always Happy, because I am not, but I do try to put forth the best attitude possible and most days I am Happy, and Happy things are in my line of sight.

This was was made at Bobbie's House, it was a card from Sherron's and I was not able to go to Sherron's that month, so Bobbie shared with me.  Love the colors, and the Happy feeling of the card!

Flower is from Petal Potpourri  #137141 with the coordinating punch Flower Medallion Punch 3137417, and the Happy is from the Hello You Thinlits Dies #137363.

Oh and Ribbon and Button are present!

Baby Girl

So the verse inside is for a little girl, however the colors are more inclined for a boy!

I used background paper outside and inside, and I turned the stripes opposite to show off the paper.  The front of the card was scored and folded back, and a coordinating background paper was adhered to the front.

 I made this card at Billie's house so the stamps are from her collection.

When I visit her house I like to use her images, because they are different from mine!

No ribbon or buttons on this one either!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lucky you

A pretty quick and easy design for today.  I love greens and always seem to be drawn to green, crafting, quilting, card making, clothes.  Green, Orange, Yellow, Pink  Hmmmm only missing orange on this card!

Flowers are from Flower Patch set #134207 which is a photopolymer set, so it is 'clear' so you can see where you are stamping and easily combine images (darker flower on top of the light pink flower)

Words are from Stampin' Up!  set is called And Many More #134273, set of 23 stamps that fit into a "word window" punch #119857, which makes for a super quick card, with this set you can create just about any "type" of card needed.  There is a companion set,, Tiny Tiny Wishes #128748 which is also very useful, however I do not current own that set.  I may need rectify that soon!

I am missing buttons and/or ribbon, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Beautiful things

I remember creating this at Billie's house so I am thinking the stamps are from her collection. I like the front being shorter than the back, so you can see the stamped image border on the inside.

Framelits or die's are so handy for matting images.  Of course I had to add a button & ribbon.
