Blue Blooms Butterfly

The Butterflies Thinlits are so easy to use! It takes very little else to make a lovely card. This card will likely end up in the "Mother's Day Collection" for my mom. Shhhh! Don't tell!

A bit of the beautiful Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) behind the cutout draws your eye to the details of the butterfly. I used glue dots to adhere the butterfly body to the DSP.

What's your angle?

This card (CASED from Stampin' Up!) was our quick-and-easy card at Club in September. No layers--just simple stamping, but it still has a great feel to it. We used the triangle stamp from the photopolymer set Dotty Angles at an angle (of course!) across the top, then stamped it again to move the pattern lower on the card. The sentiment is from Fabulous Four, one of my favorite sets from the main catalog. We colored rhinestones with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilites, tied on some Coastal Cabana thick baker's twine, and the card was done! The fact that it was done in Boise State colors may or may not be coincidental.

Starry celebration

Have you tried the new Stampin' Up! Masks? This card uses the Stars from the Hearts and Stars set. I found a sketch from PTI for July and new the Fabulous Four set was perfect for it!

In Color Stripes

I took the idea for this card from a sample in the new 2014 Catalog--page 72. I loved the simplicity of it, and added a bit of sparkle with the rhinestones. It was also a great way to feature all 5 In Colors at my Catalog Kickoff Party!

Tips and tricks: Cut the strips of colored cardstock a little bit longer than the base you attach them to. It makes it easier to line them up! Then just trim off the excess.
