Stampin' Up! Bashful Blue Butterflies

I really didn't know what to title this post because the base, mat, ribbon and butterflies are Stampin' Up! but the card front is a beautiful digital floral that was free from Alicia McNamara  (papercraftsecrets.com.au). I'm going to enter my card in the Beautiful Blossoms #38 Anything Florals with an optional Mood Board. I would love to have a vase full of daisies...so simple but so beautiful. Take a look see... 

My card base is retired Bashful Blue with a mat of Lost Lagoon. The digital is from Alicia McNamara's Sending You Sunshine Printables. The Brushed Brass Butterflies are on SU's Last Chance list and the ribbon is Balmy Blue Organdy (retired).

The inside is quite simple...

The sentiment is from the retired Hooray for Surprises stamp set. The daisy is from the retired Daisy Lane Stamp Set and is punched with the retired Medium Daisy Punch. I colored the center with light and dark Daffodil Delight Blends.

Thank you for stopping by today and happy 1st of March. Did anyone see February fly by?

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Card for the Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends.  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...

 

Still sticking with my goal of using up my Paper Pumpkin Kits! This card is from the October 2018 Friends of a Feather Kit. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

So, the card was mailed before I realized I hadn't taken a photo of it fully opened. You can see the purple behind the feathers in the above photo. In the next photo, you can see the white inside behind the feathers.

Stampin' Up! Easter Cards

Hello stamping friends and welcome to my Monday Makeover Madness. My original is here. The difference...I blended 3 colors instead of two, used different colors, different "Happy Easter" stamp and the unscalloped oval. I appreciate your stopping by and hope you'll join me tomorrow for the SU Demo Fun Fold Hop. 

Let's take a look at today's creations...

 

 

 and the inside is the same for both cards...

Stampin' Up! Cross of Hope Easter Card

 Today is another card for one of the church shut ins. 

 

My card base is Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2". The mat is Shaded Spruce 4" x 5 1/4" (but to me it looks like Garden Green in the photo) and another mat which is Soft Sea Foam 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".

 

On a panel of 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" Basic White, I stamped palm fronds from the retired Faith Collection Stamp Set. I stamped full strength and then twice again without reinking.

 

The cross solid piece is cut with a retired Cross of Hope Framelits die out of Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP (retired). The lattice top is Basic White sponged with Soft Sea Foam ink. (I didn't have any scraps of Soft Sea Foam!) The sentiment is from the retired You're Inspiring Stamp Set. The cross and sentiment are popped up with Dimensionals.

 

For the inside... 

 

The butterfly is from the retired Daffodil Daydreams Stamp Set and is stamped with Lemon Lolly ink. The sentiment is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set stamped in Shaded Spruce. I added a strip of the Specialty Paper at the bottom, which matched the inside of solid part of the cross.

Thank you for stopping by today. 

 

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Birthday Card

Hello my stamping friends. I'm giving you a break from tulips and going roses! I participate in Mystery Stamping with Dani Gurrola and here's a thumbnail of what I created. 

and here's what we were to work with for February.

So, after you choose what stamp set, papers, ink and embellishments you want to use, you prepare everything exactly as shown in the photo. She usually posts this a week before stamping. Then she does a live video where you put it together exactly like her design and submit it to Pink Barn Stampers after she provides the link. If your card is randomly chosen, she has a gift for you. I followed her design except for where I placed the sentiment so I am not in the running but I'll submit it anyway. However, my next card should be exact and I'll show you that next Wednesday! But for now, here's a larger view of the front and inside...

 

 

The product I used is in the chart. Dani's sentiment was placed in the middle off to the right. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll keep visiting.

Stampin' Up! Sunshine & Tulips Blue Hues of Happiness Easter Card

Okay, so I'm addicted to this die! This is the third card I've made with it for one of the church shut ins. Take a look see...

Same as yesterday's except with a different pattern of Hues of Happiness DSP. The front sentiment is from the retired His Grace Stamp Set. The inside uses what was cut out from the negative space that I used yesterday. 

I still need practice on stamping those leaves...what does that mean? I guess it means you'll be seeing more tulips! Everything is coming up tulips or should that be roses? Stay tuned and thanks for checking in today, I appreciate it.

In the meantime, I'm entering my card in the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #38 where "floral" has to be front and center. I picked up on the blue and green in their mood board.
