BUTTERFLIES GALORE

BUTTERFLY FLUTTER

From the Retired Butterfly Kisses DSP, Debbie has created a cute, cheerful butterfly card on Parakeet Party cardstock – soon to retire.   Any message can be added but its perfect just as it is.  This would make a great pick-me-up card.

The butterflies are pre-cut for us with the Brother Scan’n Cut.  This second sample features the butterflies on the reverse side.  Calypso Coral ribbon adds a touch of dimension.

The message layer features a strip of the Butterfly Kisses DSP and any butterfly you choose to add

BUTTERFLY BLUES

We all loved the Christmas Holy Family card we did on glossy photo paper.  Butterfly Blues follows the same concept.  A butterfly file was purchased from Etsy.  We chose this print, sized it in MS Word, and printed it.  We have Pacific Point cs cut for the card on the left.  The card on the right is the same print, but done on Balmy Blue cs.  We will have Balmy Blue cs available for those to cut if they prefer the lighter blue.

BOTANICAL BUTTERFLIES

From the retired Botanical Butterfly DSP, a few lone sheets remain.  What better paper to use for a butterfly card than this.  This Highland Heather and Basic Black card features strips of DSP that have a circle cut from the bottom.  The circle is adhered slightly below the strip but matched to the print.  Its a card that really catches your eye.

There is a major difference between this sample and the sample above.  The first sample has the strips and the circles popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The second sample has only the separated circle raised on dimensionals.  you can choose either way.  Note the die-cut mustached shaped embellishment at the bottom of the card.  You can use either version or even use one on the front and the other on the message layer.  There are several messages that can be stamped on the sentiment circle.

May Stamp Camp is very soon – May 2nd and 3rd – Thursday and Friday – from 10am to 4pm.  As Debbie is out with a broken elbow, I need your help in letting me know what day you will be attending, and what cards you choose to make. 

As a reminder, the current catalog ends April 30th.  I have your new catalogs here.  However, the prices have increased slightly on many of the staple items – paper, inks, blends, gems.  My 25% discount is still in effect, so you may want to place an order before April 30th.
