Wonderful You Butterfly

Today I wanted to share this pretty card I recently made using leftover designer paper and Melon Mambo card stock.  The embossing on the whisper white adds a bit of texture and the pearls fit perfectly in the center of the butterfly.  I really like this Butterfly die from SU!, I've used it a lot.  Have a great evening :)

Dress Up in Blue and Saffron

Hi again! This is another card I created using the Dress Up die and that ever plenty designer paper that I seem to have leftover in my stash!!  I love this little dress die;  often I'll sit at night in front of the tv and just roll various dresses through my Big Shot, using up that dsp.  :)  Kind of like playing with paper dolls I guess lol.  Its alot of fun to coodinate the dresses, skirts and little coats!

Well hello there!  I've found my stamp room again and have been enjoying some down time in there, just puttering and creating with some new goodies from SU!.  This card uses up some old SU! designer paper, Soft Suede, River Rock and Vanilla Cardstocks, the fabulously fun die set "Dress Up" and Round Array stamp set from the new catty.  I used various round and scalloped punches to punch out the circles.  Love the new small sized scalloped punch that pairs perfectly with the Round Array stamp set.  I think I'm addicted to any word set, and if there's a punch to match, well I'm sold!!  Have a great afternoon :)

Fabulous Florets Friend Card

Good Morning!! Yaaah, I have yet another card to share!! I dug into my new supplies and used the Fabulous Florets stamp set from the Summer Mini. This beautiful stamp set also made  the new Idea Book & Catalogue, which we were all very pleased to see.

My card share today was created with Melon Mambo, Pacific Point and White cardstocks. I used Pacific Point ink to stamp a random design on my white cardstock, then filled in the white background with one of the Itty Bitty backgrounds stamps (this set is now retired but forever lives upon my stamping desk!!! Its always one that I reach for, perfect for filling in those white spaces when needed!)

The flowers and leaves were stamped with versamark and embossed with Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi embossing powders, cut out and popped up with a dimensional.

The Melon Mambo cardstock was dry embossed with the Tulip border.....another staple in my stamping room it seems!! Just love this embossing folder. The "friends" sentiment is from the Just Believe stamp set.

Thanks so much for dropping by, hope your Wednesday is a good one!! Middle of the week....yaaah!!

Sweet Friend Butterfly Card

Good Morning! Well, I'm back as promised with a Sweet Friend card to share.  This card was created with Kraft, Espresso & White cardstocks, along with Greenhouse Gala dsp. The card was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet folder, then sponged with White and Kraft ink to enhance the raised texture. (I used both inks because the white was too bright, so I toned it down with the Kraft)

The Butterflies were die cut with the Butterfly die and the Big Shot.  I really love this die!!! I can see me using it alot, not only for cards but wall art as well. I have several canvases I've been working on and the butterflies are the perfect size for embellishment. The dsp for the butterflies is a retired Hostess paper pack.

I also used the Eyelet Border punch along the bottom of the dsp and half back pearls from my stash.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope your Tuesday is warmer & dryer than ours seems to be!!

NYC MDS :)

 Good Morning Friends!! Today I have a couple of MDS pages to share with you. I've been working on completing the pages from our NYC trip (from last October...ummm, I know, a little behind but as they say, better late than never, right? lol)

These 2 pages are from our visit to Central Park, which I have to say was one of my very favourite days in NYC. Such a beautiful park!! Central Park is huge, and we didn't even see half of it, I'm sure. All the more reason to go back, right?

Thanks for dropping by and I hope to have a few cards to share in the next few days so be sure to drop by soon.

Hope you are having a great summer!

Last Mel & Deb Challenge :)

Hello and Happy Wednesday, hard to believe its midweek already!!

Today's card share is the last of the cards my friend Melody and I made a couple weeks ago. I've left the upper area of the card open for a sentiment, if you're wondering why it looks so bare along the top :)

Isn't this a pretty card sketch? I just love how simple it was to create, and the Petals embossing folder from SU! is my new favourite, its so versatile. The half back pearls add that little bit of extra to the card, although if you were sending it through the mail, smaller bling might be a better idea!!

Thank you so much for dropping by, I'm off to check out all my blogging friends this morning, I love seeing how creative you all are!!
