Butterfly Basics for Stamping and Blogging Sketch # 93

 It's Wednesday ......Are you having fun yet. I sure am. Here we go and I hope you are having a wonderful week. 

This card started out one way then another and then finally the baby you will see here today. And I know you all understand that...we all have creations that need a certain something and it can take a few tries to get happy. So here it is...

 

 Lots of things happening on this piece. I started with matting the Irresistibly Yours DSP onto the Whisper White, once I placed the washi tape and organza ribbon banners. Then punched out the 2-1/2" circle and overlaid the beautiful butterfly. Did I tell you how much I love this thinlit die. I may have to hide it for awhile so I can use something else but I am hooked!!! 

Here is what things look like closer...

 The little blue flower is from the Flower Patch set and I stamped it "off" and put it here and there. The other cute little flower also comes from that set but I punched it with the Petite Petals Punch. The Butterfly was made with a piece of Stacked with Love Paper Stack. This is a great stack of papers so if you don't have it.....well you know. Now onto the sentiment inside....it was from the Flower Patch set as well. 

The washi tape added just the right amount of colour ..this stuff is so much fun to work with. I have this card in mind for a friend who is having a birthday soon. There seems to be a few of us CELEBRATING the 60 !!!

Get away weekend planned soon. I may even share some of it with you. ???

 Here is the sketch that started this journey...

Hello You for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #92

 Welcome to Wednesday!! 

This month always flies by but seriously....the 18th already. Spring is right around the corner folks. Here we go ...my share for you today. 

I loved  the stripes in the DSP so I thought why not add some more. Out came "Stylish Stripes " embossing folder and I put the white and the red through. The white the same direction and the red the other just to add some more texture. The "Hello" sentiment is from the fabulous Regarding Dahlias stamp set. 

And a close photo for you to check out the butterfly. The Paper Stack "Stacked with Love" from the Occasions catalogue is filled with lots of great designs and colours. The little dots here are so cute don't you think !

 And by the way the Butterflies Framelits rock!!! If you haven't added them to your wish list , you may want to do that. I know they had been on back order..... pretty good indicator of their popularity. And I have made the shopping easy for you at the end of this post. But now...on to the inside of the car. Keeping the stripes going I used the long "stripe" from the Butterfly Basic Stamp set to add some interest and then stamped the greeting. 

 

 Here is the sketch for this week...play along , see what you can create. Have fun. 

 

 

 

And for the links to all these goodies here you are. But if you have any questions or want to book a party please contact me. I would love to meet you and your friends.

Stampin' Up ! Wetlands for SB Sketch # 91

 Hello my friends..Happy Wednesday.

Today I have put together a masculine card for a friend who is recovering from hip surgery. He is a very "outdoorsy" kinda guy and so I hope he likes the Wetland stamps.

I used Crumb Cake for the card base and then threw in some Cajun Craze and a little Garden Green behind the pieces of Natural Ivory. Here we go...

 

I made the sun image with a circle punched out and laid it over the art piece.  Using a dauber with Cajun Craze I lightly added the colour. Random images from the set are here and there and two pieces of Washi to add some pop. Then a little bit of linen thread layer under the  the art piece ...so not to be too girly. 

And the inside has a little bit of the same.....

 

 

And the sketch for this week...you'll see I turned it over...creative licence ??? I hope.

Remember This for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #90

 

 Hello my friends......I LOVE that it is February. Closer to spring in my neck of the woods. And it is also Wednesday so here we go with this weeks sketch debut.

 

I pulled out some papers and decided on colors then went into the DSP pile and picked something from the Back to Black. Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana with the Basic Black looked quite nice together so here we go....

 I put two of the papers through the Decorative Dots Embossing folder to add some depth and then the pop of the DSP. The sentiment is from a Project Life set....Remember This and the frame around it is from Point and Click. Just shows the versatility of the Project Life products, not just for Scrapbooking. These stamps are fabulous....gives me  such great ideas. 

Here is the inside....and because of the black card stock you could use the white Gel Pen from page 211 to add your special message. 

 

 Now here is the sketch we had for today's share.....

 

I hope you have a wonderful day and please call me should you need a demonstrator. I would love to be yours.  We could create together. 

 Now off the rest of the artists in the team.....Enjoy.

Screen .."the second one".

Hello my friends . As I promised here is the other screen card we made at stamp club. 

We used the same dimensions as the black and cherry cobbler one just switched up the colors to more subtle tones. Whisper white and crisp cantalope for the card and markers of Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, and Crisp Cantalope. 

For the top border we used the scallop border punch and the Stamp Set for the collage technique was Butterfly Basics. And this one also can be folded up...you can use a ribbon or a piece of line thread wrapped around. 

Just pop on a few embellishments...buttons, thread or a punched butterfly and you have a great card to share. 

Thanks for stopping by...let me know what you think. I would love to spend some time with you and a few friends so please let me know if you would like to book a "party"!!! 

Cheers from.....
