I’ve certainly been on a butterfly kick. Making them in any color you want can be addicting AND fun!
Using sponge daubers, I swirled color onto my Whisper White cardstock using Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. I wasn’t deliberately making circles and was surprised with what I created!
Once the paper dried, I cut out a butterfly using the Butterflies Thinlits. I LOVE how the butterfly turned out! Imagine all the possible beautiful color combinations! When using this die, I recommend adding a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the thinlit. This helps all the tiny pieces come out. Sometimes I also run the “sandwich” through my Big Shot twice just to be sure that it is completely cut out.
I hope you’ll give this a try and if you do, I’d love to see what you’ve created!

Request a free catalog from me today. You only pay Priority Shipping ($5.75). The catalog is filled with many new products as well as inspiration! Click the Buy Now button below and I’ll send your catalog off to you!
The new 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! catalog is now live! Click HERE to look inside!
What’s really fun about today is that not only can you order from this new catalog but the Occasions and 2014-2015 Annual catalog as well. You can order from all three catalogs today but starting tomorrow, you’ll only be able to order from the brand new catalog.
The project that I have for you today has lots of new products but my sentiment is from the Occasions catalog (So You #137165) which means that today is the last day to order it!
I’ve made this cute bag from the brand new Bohemian Designer Series Paper and the Gift Bag Punch Board. I tied it up with the yummy new Dotted Lace Trim in Delightful Dijon (one of the new In Colors). It comes in all of the five new In Colors. It is absolutely beautiful in person!
As you can see in the Product List below, the punch board also makes holes (this part is optional) in the bag so you can close it up. I had a hard time keeping the bag closed while I made my bow with the lace trim so I just used a clip. It made it so much easier!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back later today with the Weekly Deals!

I posted this card yesterday but haven’t had a chance until now to give you the details about it so thought I would just start a new post. The flowers come from the set Butterfly Basics in the Occasions catalog. I am happy to say that it will carry over and be in the new catalog. It has been a very popular stamp set!
I stamped the flower in Memento Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! no longer carries colored pencils so I used my Prismacolor set to color in the petals and leaves. I find it so relaxing to color. I thought about using my blender pen to soften the colors a bit but I did this while at my mom’s and didn’t have one with me. My sentiment comes from the set So You, also in the Occasions catalog, but sadly it will not be carrying over. I wish I had started using this set when it first came out!
I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock, which I felt complimented the purple used for the flowers. I popped up the top layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. All in all, it’s a fairly quick and easy card to make!
Thank you for stopping by today! As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks so much to everyone who inquired about my mom. She is doing great. She was hospitalized for just a few days but is doing very well now. I couldn’t be happier!!
I have a quick post today. Here’s a card I worked on while I was with my mom. I will add more details about my card later today!
The Weekly Deals are here! I am so excited that the Painted Blooms DSP is on sale! I purchased two packs last week (darn it, I missed out on the sale) but I think I will get a few more.

I wasn’t sure that I would have a post for today. I’ve been staying with my mom for the past week as she hasn’t been feeling well. Unfortunately she was hospitalized yesterday afternoon but we are hoping that she will be back home in a few days. She is right where she should be and I know she’s getting excellent care. I’ll be spending the day at the hospital but before I go, I wanted to post a card that I made a week ago. You’ll notice that it’s very similar to the card I posted on Monday. This time though, my background for the butterflies was made using watercolor paper, my Stampin’ Up! ink pads and an Aqua Painter (you can see the background below).
I did my watercoloring a few months ago and its been sitting on my desk all this time. I just haven’t known what to do with it until the idea for this card popped into my head (which I actually made before the one I posted Monday). When I adhered the butterflies, I used my 2 Way Glue pen. On the Mother’s Day card I posted on Monday (you can see it HERE), I used Stampin’ Dimensionals and I prefer having them popped up rather than completely flat in that area. Does that make sense?
I hope to have a post on Saturday, but we’ll see how things are progressing with my mom. Thank you for stopping by today.

I hope your Monday has started off well!
I have been visiting my mom for the past week. I brought some of my Stampin’ Up! supplies with me so that I could do some creating. I made this card yesterday for my sister for Mother’s Day. I didn’t think I had a Mother’s Day sentiment in any of the sets that I brought so I was happy when the set Crazy About You had just what I wanted!
I started out with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using my sponge daubers and the colors Pacific Point and Garden Green, I randomly applied color. Although I starting sponging off of my paper first, I still got some of the circles of color that you see. It doesn’t really matter with this card because that won’t be seen – just the beautiful shades of color.
Using another piece of Whisper White, I cut out two butterflies using the Butterflies Thinlits (in the Occasions catalog) and then stamped my sentiment. I glued this piece to my colored piece using a 2 way glue pen so that I could really get glue around the outline of the butterflies. I cut two more butterflies out of Pacific Point and adhered them to the card with pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals down the center of each one. The rhinestones added a nice amount of sparkle.
I forgot to bring envelopes with me so I left the top butterfly as is. If I had needed to send the card, I would have trimmed it off but I think it looks nice “flying” off the card.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
