Butterfly Card

I’m in love with this butterfly die! There’s so many ways to make this butterfly look unique and I think it’s just so beautiful. When I remembered I had the cloud embossing template I was thrilled… a perfect pairing!

Details:

• The base of this card was embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder. I lightly sanded the clouds to reveal the white core of the paper.
• The tag that says, “Happy day!” is washi tape, from Close to My Heart, mounted on white paper. It is glued and attached with mini staples. (I’m loving my mini stapler… why are little things so cute?) 😉
• The “Mom” sticker letters are from Webster’s Pages.
• The butterfly was created by putting washi tape onto white paper in strips, then running that paper through the die cut machine using a Memory Box die. Then the black layer was cut using a co-ordinating die. I curled the edges with my fingers and applied it to the card with foam tape.

Floral Card

This card is simple and elegant. Oh, and did I mention easy?

Details:

• The flowers, tags and ‘happy’ are from a die cut pack. I’d love to tell you which one, but it looks like something exploded in my scrap room!
• I used my mini stapler to attach the ‘happy’ to the green tag. 🙂
• “Mother’s Day” is stamped using a CTMH stamp set and ink.
• The “Debutante Frame” (that ‘s what’s called) is a die cut from Memory Box. I embossed it with a Provocraft embossing folder, and rubbed some colonial white ink from CTMH onto some of the raised areas.

Washi Tape card

This card is so much fun! If you love washi tape, especially if you happen to have a little ‘collection’ of it, you’ll want to make cards like this for sure! (We’re not calling it hoarding… why would we do that?) 😉

Details:

Really, you’ll see all of the details if you watch the video, but I’m happy to share more details here too!

• The base of the card was made using strips of washi tape from CTMH.
• The stamps are also from CTMH. Actually most of the supplies are!
• The green shape is a punch from Stampin’ Up and was embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder. The pink scalloped shape was made with a punch from Fiskars.
• The paper flowers were sprayed with ink to match the washi tape. The centers are sequins… love them!
• Of course, I used the mini  stapler to attach the “Mother’s Day” banner. 🙂
