Butterfly Bouquet Class CardsTo me, spring = butterflies and I’ve been spending my days making butterfly cards to share with you.

Here is a fun technique you can try using the reverse image of the large die.
Butterfly Bouquet-1I simply laid the die cut piece on top of a white mat and used my blending brushes and 2 ink colors to create a subtle background for my card.  For this card I used Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight.

Here are 2 other color combos…Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo.
Butterfly Bouquet-2And So Saffron and Mango Melody…
Butterfly Bouquet-3Super easy and very pretty. Give it a try!

 I hope I’ve sold you on this bundle. :) Give me a shout today and order the Butterfly Bouquet Class packet.

Thanks for stopping by,

A day for colouring

Yesterday was one of those colouring days. I’ve always loved to colour ever since I was a little girl…I find it relaxing and therapeutic. I realize though that not everyone likes to color.  When I pull out the colouring tools for a class, I often hear groans and panic because they feel like they don’t know how to blend colours to make them look nice.

I’m here to tell you that you will LOVE our Stampin’ Blends. These high-quality, dual-tip markers in Stampin’ Up! exclusive colours will open a whole new world of colouring creativity for you. I promise.
Stampin'BlendsI must admit that I am a sucker for Rifle Co. prints. I have a calendar, plenty of notebooks, and I absolutely love the color combinations in their artwork. I recently received this lovely notecard from a dear friend and knew I had to make a copy of it! So I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends yesterday and set to work. I scribbled a bunch of the colours that I thought would be a match. :)
Ornate-Garden-1Next I pulled out the brand new Ornate Style stamp set that will be in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. That floral bouquet was perfect!
Ornate-Garden-2After I finished coloring, I hand-cut all around the edge of the image staying as close as I could to the black outline. I was then left with the white spots in the middle. I could’ve taken my exacto knife and painfully cut all those little bits out, but that’s way too much work – even for ME! LOL! So here’s a tip. Because this bouquet was going onto black cardstock, I took my dark Basic Black Blends and just colored in those spots!
Ornate-Garden-3What do you think? I did it!! I’m pretty happy with the outcome…

Enjoying the Summer

Are you enjoying the summer?! We certainly are. This summer has been full of so many good things…this morning I am feeling blessed.  To start the summer my husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary, then our son got engaged, we got to spend a couple of weeks with our favorite little grandson and his parents :), we were able to check off a bucket list item for my mom by taking her with us on an Alaskan Cruise, and just this past weekend we live-streamed our daughter playing keyboard on a worship album release in Australia.  Wow we miss hearing her play! I am enjoying all these little moments and learning to find balance. It is a definitely a process.

Whenever we go on these Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trips, we have the option of participating in a card swap. This was mine…
Alaska Swap July 2018I don’t typically use 3 stamp sets on one card, but this time I couldn’t help myself. I found myself inspired by some home decor photos on Pinterest. What inspires you when you sit down to make a card? I am loving letterboards right now, so I wanted to show one sitting on a shelf. The leaves are from Tropical Chic, the vase is from Varied Vases, and the letterboard is from Letter Board Messages. You can find all these supplies in my online store.

This month’s hostess code is XQWVBV7A.
Shop my online store HERE

Every order over $50 will receive a set of 5 handmade cards from my card selection. I’ve just added a ton more cards I know you will love!
 
**August is Bonus Days…**so if you spend $60, you will receive a bonus code for $6 to use in September!
