Happy Saturday!! I hope you have some fun plans today! My card today sure makes me feel as though spring is just around the corner. I used the Retro Fresh This and That Designer Washi Tape to create my colorful butterfly. I laid the tape down on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and then placed it on top of the larger butterfly using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.
I made several butterflies and each one is different and unique.
My inspiration for this card came from the site My Stamping Best Friend!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Today I have one of the cards I made yesterday and it was inspired by a card made by my upline, Dawn Griffith. It’s a fun card because it opens up differently than you would expect. I used two different stamp sets for my Tangerine Tango flowers – Flower Shop (wood #130939 clear#130942) and Petite Petals (wood#133152 clear#133155). My sentiment is from the set A Dozen Thoughts (wood#131056 clear#131059). The pretty paper on the front as well as inside the card is the Retro Fresh DSP. I popped each flower up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a pretty rhinestone in the center!

This card was so much fun to make! The stamp set used to make the banners and the banner punch can each be yours, FREE. With each $50 purchase you make, you can choose one item in the Sale-a-bration catalog absolutely FREE. With a $100 purchase, both of these products can be yours. The punch will also be available in the 2014-2015 annual catalog but you can receive it free until March 31st!
Yesterday I bought a beach towel that has the most gorgeous shades of blues and greens. I kept looking at it and thought, I should make a card with those colors! I wanted to throw some Tempting Turquoise into the mix but decided to stick with Pacific Point and Gumball Green. I wrapped some Linen Thread around my Whisper White paper and then adhered my banners to it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I embossed just the upper half of my card with the Decorative Dots folder (also FREE during Sale-a-bration) and stamped my greeting with the stamp set Sassy Salutations (wood #132070 clear#126707).

Isn’t it scary when something is wrong with your computer? What the heck did we do without them? I’m happy to say that my computer problems have been solved by the nice man at the Apple store!
Here is the card I made a few days ago but couldn’t post until now. My inspiration came from Ronda Wade. I modified it just a bit and turned it into a gift card holder. 
I made my card using paper from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that you can get free with a $50 order! You can make three holders with just one sheet of paper. Here are the measurements:
DSP: 4 x 12 Score at 1- 3/4″ & 7- 1/8″ Use sticky strip to seal up the edges
Front flap: Basic Gray: 4-1/4″ x 2- 3/4″ Whisper White: 4″ x 2- 1/2″
Piece inside for gift card (I adhered the gift card with glue dots): 3-1/4″ x 5-1/8″ I used my Small Oval Punch to make it easier to get the gift card out.
My sentiment comes from the set Simply Celebrate. I love the font that is used to write Enjoy.
Wood #133221 Clear #133224

Today I have a card for you using two new products from the Occasions catalog that I used for the first time on this card! The first one is the Arrows Textured Impressions embossing folder (#132187). At first I refrained from buying this folder but after seeing it used to make so many cute cards on the internet, I wanted to purchase it!
The second new item is my sentiment. It comes from the set Simply Celebrate (see below) and it can be purchased in either wood (133221) or clear (133224). I only wanted the “hello” part of the stamp, not the part that says, please take a seat. In order to do this, I put blue painters tape – I had some sitting right there on my craft table but any tape will work – over the part I didn’t want on my card. I inked the stamp up and pulled off the tape before stamping. Have you tried this technique before?
My Crisp Cantaloupe twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, which is a Sale-a-bration freebie and one that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase!
