Hello

Today I have a card for those of you who adore flowers and butterflies. It's a clean and simple creation using a negative die cut butterfly as the focal point. 

The Fun Stampers Journey die set I used is from Butterfly Prints and the patterned paper is from the summer catalog and it's called Fun Filled Prints. 

To make these layers really stand out I used foam squares to adhere them to my card base. I love the dimension it creates and that you can see some of the gingham print through the butterfly 'window.'

A few drops of silk, some thread and a trio of assorted gems finish the card. It's the perfect for an all occasion greeting! 

Enjoy!

All Occasion

Hello!

Thought I'd start the week off with one of my favorite types of cards, all occasion. I keep plenty of these on hand. :)

Do you recognize that butterfly Polaroid? I made one like it for another card recently.

I hope you're not getting tired of my Polaroids and negative die cuts! It's funny how I fall into a particular trend or accent and repeat it over and over! ;)

I also make a lot of project with banners. Why knock a good thing, right? :)

I created this card with The Sweetest Thing collection from My Mind's Eye. I love the colors and patterns!

I hope you have a great start to your week! Thank you for visiting!

All Occasion Card

Hello! It's Tuesday! Hope it's a good day! :) Do you create all occasion cards, those without sentiments? I need to make more since they're perfect to keep on hand, available for any occasion that may pop up. Maybe you need a quick thank you, a sympathy card or just want to included a nice note with something?

This card was created with a mix of goodies that were begging to be used. ;) The chipboard flower, yellow and turquoise papers are from Echo Park's This & That collection. The background print is old My Mind's Eye paper and the Kraft card stock was stamped with VersaMark ink using a brand new Hampton Arts/Doodlebug stamp from the Sweet Backgrounds set.

I used several go-to tools, the cloud and butterfly die, corner rounder punch and scalloped border punch. These favorites get a lot of use! Whenever I'm considering a tool purchase, I ask myself, "How many projects do you think you can use this for?" Often the answer is not enough and so I don't purchase it, no matter how adorable it is! ;) I learned this lesson the hard way when I spent an entire week cleaning out and de-stashing my office. No more!

I really like how this mix of goodies turned out. I had a lot fun making a card just because.

Thanks so much for your visit! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Kathy :)
