Heart to Clover

I had to make a card for club last Friday night in a hurry, because I couldn't find the card I made last month.  I still can't find it!  Hmm!  My friend, Barb from The Buzz sent me this card last year and I love it!

I just bought the Scalloped Heart to Hearts Embosslits, so I could make this for club this year.  I don't have this paper, so I improvised and used the Greenhouse Gala again.  When my club members made this Friday night, I had them random stamp the bottom of the card after they added the worded stem.  This is from the butterfly set, Flight of the Butterfly.  I thought it made a great stem.  Tonight the rest of my club members will be meeting, creating and...HAVING A LOT OF FUN!

Materials used are stampin’ up! Unless noted

Stamps: teeny tiny wishes, So happy for you (sale-a-bration), flight of the butterfly

Paper: certainly celery, greenhouse gala, old olive, whisper white

Ink: old olive

Accessories: Scalloped heart to hearts embosslits, dimensionals

Punches: word window, modern label, full heart XL

Techniques: big shot

Happy Day

I had a request from Maria (Hi, Maria!) to create a card for a Ustream class using the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set.  Last night, I decided to sit down with that set and Inspired by Nature to create a project for my next Ustream LIVE class this Wednesday, September 15th.  This is what I created:

Tate was doing his homework while I was creating and he was getting frustrated with his math assignment.  I explained to him that I started over and tore apart this card numerous times and he didn't see me getting frustrated.  He said, "Yeah, but that is something you LIKE to do!"  Smart kid!  I had to agree.  Then I told him getting frustrated doesn't help.  He is going to work on that.  

I used the direct marker technique to stamp my sunflower image and my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment by them.  I hope you can join me tomorrow night.  If you would like to stamp with me here is the list of materials I used:

Flight of the Butterfly

I almost forgot I wanted to make this card for my club next week.  This is almost exactly like the card I made here at Kim's.  I added the Itty Bitty Bits, buttons, border punch and changed the shade of the color scheme.

I like this size of card, because it is 6 x 6 and scored at 3 inches.  You can get four card bases out of a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.  In addition, I like the strip of Not Quite Navy cardstock instead of using ribbon.  I always seem to put ribbon on my cards.  I wanted to show my club members other options, if you don't have ribbon to match your color scheme.

Happy as Happy Gets

I made this card last week at my friend, Kim's house.  I had this set on my wish list towards the middle and it just went to the top.  Now, I am going to order it in May.  I love this sentiment!  The butterfly has a matching punch...yes, a matching punch...LOVE IT!
