Butterflies And Change

Happy Sunday!
Donna Phelan  back again to share a quick little card with you today!

My card uses the beautiful Butterfly Exhibit die set from Memory BoxThis particular die set was out of stock at the time of writing.....however you could easily use a number of butterfly die sets to create this look, here are 2 of my favorites;

Memory Box
Colette Butterfly Branch


Memory Box
Hovering Butterfly Frame


I am certain either of those would make stunning cards!




I die cut my butterflies from Toner Paper and then ran it through my Mini Minc Machine to add this gorgeous Hot Pink Foil.  It really picks up all of the delicate and intricate designs.  Adhered them on to a panel of white card stock with Swiss Dots Embossing texture.  Little circle dots stamped in Frost White ink. 


Sentiment stamped on to a strip of Vellum using Marcasite Embossing Powder, a perfect match to my die cuts.  And those handy dandy little foiled butterflies are great for hiding the adhesive.

Hello everyone. Olivia here to showcase a way to use a number of dies for a lovely Thank you card.


For this card, I used the Die-Versions Butterfly Kisses die as the focal point. For the circles, I used the Die-Versions Whispers Stitched Circle Cards. The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Finish off with Elizabeth Craft sentiment. So sweet, just sitting and enjoying each other company.

Happy Birthday

Hello, Janice here with you again to share my latest card 


I started with a 7" x 5" card base. 
I then embossed a piece of white card measuring 7" x 4.25" with a Creative 
Expressions Textures Embossing folder called Lace.
I matt and layered the embossed card onto a piece of purple card and glued it to the base card.

Next I cut the Memory Box Happy Birthday Extravaganza in purple card and glued it 
to a piece of plain white card measuring 6.5" x 2.25"
I then cut two strips of purple card with the Lawn Fawn - Stitched Scalloped Borders, 
and glued them to each edge of the white card. 

 I glued a smaller piece of scrap chipboard onto the back of the white card, and then glued this directly onto the embossed panel to give it some support and dimension.
Finally I added some small punched flowers and diamanté gems to decorate.

Here are the dies I have used:-

More Under The Sea Fun!

Good morning friends, Birgit here with you today and I've got more cards for you from Under The Sea.




I started by cutting some Elizabeth Craft Designs Seaweed  out of colored card stock and sprayed each piece of seaweed with similar colored shimmery mists by Heidi Swapp.  That gave the seaweed a nice shimmery shine!



For this card, I cut the Elizabeth Craft Designs Turtle out of two shades of green and added some color around the body of the turtle using distress ink.


For the background of this card, I rubbed in some distress inks in greens and blues on the top portion and masked off the bottom section which I distressed using tattered straw and a darker brown.  I  spritzed the background with water to remove some color and then spritzed on more Heidi Swapp shimmer spray.  Once it was dry I adhered the turtle, layered the seaweed and added some iridescent sequins to look like water bubbles.  I left this card without a sentiment and sent it to a very dear friend of mine.  


On these next two cards I used some old printed scrapbook paper for the backgrounds and used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Seahorse and seaweed for a quick and easy card.


I added some saffron colored Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs to the outline part of this seahorse die.   It's really pretty in real life, the way it shimmers and shines.  The large seashell is from Elizabeth Craft Designs Large Shells.

Here's a list of supplies I used from Dies R Us:

    Dogwood Blossoms

    Good Monday Morning!
     
     
    Donna Phelan here again with another card to share with you!
     
     
     
     
    To create this card I first die cut my beautiful Dogwood Blossom Corner by Poppy Stamps.  Twice. 
     
     
    I cut 2 complete sets in white card stock and then a bunch of blossoms in light pink.

     
    I then colored the vines and flowers using Copic Markers.

     
    Then I simply layered the light pink blossoms over the colored ones.  I off set them a bit to add a bit of dimension to the flowers. 
     
     
    Here I die cut my Birds by Impression Obsession also in white card stock.

     
    This way I could color them how I wanted with Copic Markers.
     
     
    Using Spellbinders Fanciful Lattice and Perfectly Pierced Frames I created my background layer and sentiment label.  Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice ink.  Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dandelion Yellow for accents.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture.
