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.

You Are Amazing

I hope the title of this post has made you smile, because really, doesn’t everyone need to hear “You are amazing”? This is a strange season we are in…the personal connection we all crave has been diminished…and we are all feeling it. That means that now more than ever, it is SO important to reach out to people with a written note or card.

Do you have a supply of cards on hand that you can just grab when you need one? I keep mine organized by theme which makes it easy to see when I’m running low on a certain type of card. Coincidentally, I have a section I call You Are Amazing. It has cards that will uplift and encourage and bring a smile to someone’s face.

If you need to replenish your card supply, I have a solution for you. There is a card kit in the new Stampin’ Up! mini catalogue entitled You Are Amazing.
You-Are-Amazing-KitIt has 4 different designs and I love the bright and cheery colors. You do need to purchase the You Are Amazing Stamp Set separately and the ink colors are listed in the photo. If you don’t have those, you will want to add those to your order.
You-Are-Amazing-3I made up my kit the other day while I was crafting on zoom with my 4-yr. old grandson. He facetimes me regularly and says “Nona, you want to traft with me?”  He can’t say his c’s yet :) He has rules though…I have to be trafting and not cleaning my desk while he trafts. LOL! He always makes me show him what I’m making. So this is what I made.
You-Are-Amazing-1Then they all fit in this box. It would make a great gift for someone! You can make a set for you and a set for someone else. It doesn’t take long at all because instructions are included and all the pieces are die-cut and ready to go.
You-Are-Amazing-2The supplies for this kit are as follows:
#155370 You Are Amazing Project Kit $41
#154534 You Are Amazing Stamp Set $29
Additional products needed…Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pads, and adhesives

Fun Fold Card – Arrow Fold

Today I have a fun fold card idea for you. My friend and fellow team member Lorna Raczynski created her take on an arrow fold card. My Stamp Club ladies were lucky enough to make one at their class this past week and they all loved it!
Love-of-Leaves-7Again…I’m just loving the fall colors. I’ll talk a bit about the product she used, but first let me show you how to make an Arrow Card. This is what it looks like on the inside.
Love-of-Leaves-7aCut a card base (5-1/2″ x 8″1/2″ …scored at 4-1/4″). Grab a pencil and a ruler and follow this template. Mark the center point of your card front (2-3/4″) and score from the middle score line on each side to that point. Then, measure 2″ up from each side, and score to that same point. Erase your pencil marks and fold along those lines.  Use a bone folder to really sharpen the creases.
Love-of-Leaves-7bFor the colored mat, cut a piece of cardstock 4″ x 5″.  Mark the center of that (2-1/2″) and this time cut from each corner down to that point. Love-of-Leaves-7dThose 3 pieces will now fit perfectly on the front of your card. (sorry…this photo is a bit blurry.)
Love-of-Leaves-7cIt’s that easy. Now you just decorate the rest of your Arrow Fold card.
