The NEW Butterfly Bouquet bundle is here!!


Stampin' Up! is releasing one of the upcoming Annual Catalog bundles early!  Plus they added on two exclusive papers along with it!  But these papers are only available through May 3rd, while supplies last! Click here to see them online. 

I joined an online swap and created these pretty cards: 

The bundle consists of 1 large butterfly stamp and 12 coordinating dies.  There is a big pack of 6 X 6" Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper and also new Natural Touch specialty paper; 2 sheets of wood grain 12" X 12" paper. Download the Butterfly Bouquet flyer

If you plan to get the Butterfly Bouquet bundle or Designer Paper I have an extra perk for you!  All online orders in March receive a FREE 15 project PDF full of ideas for you!  See details below! 

Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

Measurements are:

  • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"
  • Natural Touch paper 2" X 4"
  • Black 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", plus 1/4" and 1/3" strips and die-cut butterfly
  • White scrap for Painted Poppies die-cut

On the card below I did color parts of the yellow butterfly with my Calypso Coral Blends marker.

  • Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!


    On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

    The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

    This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

    I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    Here's the video with details:

  • Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!


    I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

    Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes. 

    The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time. 

    I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here. 

    I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade. 

    I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.  

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too


    I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet!

    Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

    This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

    For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.  


    I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut. 


    You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques. 

    The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting. 

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
