Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Easter Card

Good Monday make over...at least that's what I'm considering this card. It may be a stretch but I did use the same Hybrid EF that I used for this card. When I cut the black butterfly for that card, there was residue left from the card stock. I have never had that happen before but I liked the look. Take a look see...

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

                                                          

                                                

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I hope my team will be forgiving of my loose interpretation of the sketch and I hope the recipient has it in hand!

 

My card base is Basic White with an embossed white panel using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid EF. I sponged the die cut hibiscus with Boho Blue ink, the leaves with Shaded Spruce and colored the centers with a light Daffodil Delight Blend. The sentiment is stamped in Boho Blue with a stamp from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set and cut with a die from the Happy Hibiscus set. Three Azure Afternoon Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots finished the front.

 

For the inside, I used the stamps from the Spring Corners Stamp Set. I colored the balloons with light Shaded Spruce, Boho Blue and Night of Navy Blends.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday for the SU Demos Fun Fold Monthly Hop

Hello my FB peeps! Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...

                             

I used DSP from the retired Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" pack for the small triangles. My card base is Berry Burst but the camera did not pick up the true color. It looks more like Moody Mauve. I had a 12" x 12" piece of Berry Burst from a retired In Color pack so I was able to make the base of 11" x 11" and the remaining part for the belly band.

The belly band has a piece of ephemera from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. 

For the inside...

The inside sentiment is from the retired Happiest Birthdays Stamp Set. I can't remember what stamp set the daisy image is from as I put everything away and I made it last month! If you know, please tell me in a comment. I did use DSP from the Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" pack for the larger triangles.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos.

Stampin' Up! Faith Collection Easter Card

Welcome, peeps, to my Monday Morning Makeover! Today's card is a "make over" of this card. Instead of a sympathy card, it's an Easter card. Easter is 30 days away. Here's a consoling thought...Christmas has not reached double digits yet! But I digress!! Here's my card...

My card base is Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2". I cut a piece of Basic Beige 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered it to the base. 

The Cane Weave embossed Lemon Lolly piece measures 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".  

The Basic White arch is one that was in my stash. I stamped the cross and palm branches from the Faith Collection Stamp Set in Pecan Pie and Granny Apple Green, respectively. Then I sponged it with Lemon Lolly ink. "He is risen" is also from the Faith set and is stamped in Pecan Pie.

The gold embossed "Celebrate" is another piece I had in my stash. I am not doing good with my New Year's resolution to keep track of what supplies I used that are in my stash.

For the inside...

My Basic Beige mat is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". The Lemon Lolly art panel is 3 3/8" x 4 3/8". The palm frond and sentiment are from the retired Easter Message Stamp Set.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our monthly SU Demos Fun Fold hop.

 

 

Stampin' Up! Faith Collection Sympathy Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a theme challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

 

                           

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I was inspired by Lynn Dunn. What I used to create my card is listed in the chart after the hoppers' names. I can't give you measurements because I cut everything right on the trimmer and kept adjusting as I went along. Lynn gives you measurements and directions on her video.
