Flight of the Butterfly

Have you tried the Flight of the Butterfly, It is a really cool set with lots of stamps and it has a coordinating punch to go with it. I love to have a tool that makes it easy to produce a beautiful card in a short period of time.

What I did was

• The card base is Garden Green cs 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
• Stamp the butterfly on whisper white in Almost Amethyst and the lovely Lilac and then punched it out with the butterfly punch.
  
• I used a piece of Apricot Appeal cs 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 and used the eyelet border punch on it.
  
• Then tied the lovely lilac 1/4" grosgrain ribbon on it and attached it to the base.
  
• The sentiment was stamped in lovely lilac on whisper white and then heavily sponged with Apricot Appeal and both were treated with the corner rounder
• I attached the butterfly with a silver brad
• I backed that piece with Lovely Lilac cs. Adhere that to the card with dimensionals
  

I really like the color combination on this one and the way the butterfly looks like it's really flying.Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place

That Pretty Little Dress

I am so happy to share this card with you today. I found it here. It's just unique enough to catch the eye and for a little girl's birthday or an invitation to a tea this would be perfect. I have five great nieces and they will all be getting dresses for their birthday's next year. Imagine the colors and if dsp is added as an apron there are endless possibilities.

I found the template here.

• I used Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose cs to cut out the template of the dress
• Then I punched the eyelet border in whisper white for the hem and under the bodice.
• I took a piece of regal rose and cut the piece for just above the waistline and under the hemline. Also to punch out the little heart at the neck.
  
• How did I get the cute collar. Well, that is the scallop oval punch, then I just cut it to fit.
• I stamped the dress's skirt with boho bg flower
• I also added cross hatching to mimick smocking on the regal rose piece and glitter to the heart.
  
• Glued it all together and sat back and smiled.

This was so satisfying I made another. More along the shabby style. Sponging the edges. Here the dress is cameo coral with Walk in the Park dsp, retired. I used the Boho blossoms punch for the pocketFor the collar I used basic gray and the scallop circle punch and then cut out the collar where needed. Then on this one I also bent the lace. If you look at the first one the eyelet lace on the bottom of the dress is straight across. On the second one is curved and follows the curve of the dress better. Let me know if you want to know how to do this. I want to here from you.

It's Good To Dream of a "Little" Blog Candy

How about a little Razzle Dazzle today. Don't you love this stamp? It just looks like a fantasy and the perfect sentiment to go along with it is "It's good to dream" That's what I'm doing every time I stamp something, dreaming about how someone will enjoy receiving a hand made card for some special occasion or for no reason at all. Would you like to receive this card in the mail? Hint Hint keep reading Or better yet make this card for someone special in your life. Here is all you need to do:

• I inked up the razzle dazzle large flower stamp with green galore ink.
  
• I used a blender pen to "erase" the areas I wanted a different color.
  
• I then got my markers in rose red, lovely lilac and regal rose and colored the stamp where appropriate, then stamped it on the 2 1/2" square white cs.
  
• The corner rounder was used on two corners opposite each other.
  
• I layered this on top of rose red 2 3/4" square. The corner rounder was used again at the same corners
  
• I took the 7/8" x 5 1/2" white piece and stamped three times, using the stamp-a-ma-jig for alignment, the small flower where I followed the same procedure.
  
• I backed that with a piece of lovely lilac 5 1/2" x 1 1/8"
• Then taking a piece of lovely lilac 2 3/4" x 1" and using the eyelet border punch on it I attached it to the rose red piece.
  
• I punched a 1" circle out of the lovely lilac
  
• I stamped on scrap whisper white cs in rose red It's good to dream from the same set.
• Punched that out with the modern label punch. Then sponged the edges lightly with rose red.
• I put the card together on a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" green galore piece, folded in half. The large flower is adhered with dimensionals.

This is a fun card to make and it would be a fun card to receive. So here's the thing. If you leave a comment on my blog on this card by July 16 at 5 pm I will draw for a winner and send the winner this card. Probably have a pretty good chance.
