Fancy Butterfly card tutorial!

Since posting my Butterfly card a couple of weeks ago I have had a lot of requests and comments so thought I would do a quick photo tutorial for you (my video man wouldn't film me!)

So here are the items you will need to make the main part of your card. You will also need some ribbon and a sentiment too if you want to make it like mine.

Stamp-a-ma-jig (SAMJ), Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Papillon Potpourri, Bitty Butterfly punch, Elegant Butterfly punch.

I used these 3 stamps and then I stamped them on each corner of the SAMJ

Position the SAMJ so the butterfly wings are just touching the right hand edge of your card and the top of your card and then stamp.

Keep positioning butterflies closely to each other and close to the edge.

You should end up with something like this!

You then simply cut around these with a good sharp pair of scissors. One of my blog readers called it "fussy cutting" which I thought was really cute!

For extra dimension I then stamped 2 more butterflies and punched them out with the co-ordinating punches and glued them on top.

Add some ribbon and a sentiment and there you have it!

While I have your attention GUESS WHAT ARRIVED YESTERDAY? My gorgeous This and That bundle. Now I have decided I am going to do it all about my 40th year I can't wait to get started!!!

Stepper Card

Hey there, it's Friday and it's nearly the weekend!! Tonight I have my Stamp a Stack event so I am finishing the last preps today! 192 cards to prep!

I am sharing the last card from our Tuesday Club, the stepper card! Not really made one like this one before. I have kept the same colour scheme from the previous 2 cards we made. The paper on the front is the Natural Composition paper and I have rubbed it with White Kraft ink to take some of the shine of the embossed design away.

The rest is basically punching, die cutting and sticking down! We used the butterfly punches and the Print Poetry paper stack. 

We also used the Secret Garden Framelit dies for the leaves and the large blue flower.

And here are all the 3 cards together

Hope you like this set of cards.

Fancy Butterfly card

Hi there, midweek already and usually I love my Wednesdays (its my long day) but not today because I have the dreaded dentist!!!! I have got to have a filling and I am dreading it, don't think I have had to have one since the boys were born!!!

Anyway on to happier things! Last night we had Tuesday Club again and I decided to use the colours of Gumball Green and Midnight Muse with lots of Crumb Cake. I have seen a card similar to this (with less layering) on Pinterest and was keen to have a go.

It's quite easy with the used of a Stamp a ma Jig!

Here you can see the dimension as I added a couple of extra ones on top.

Happy Mothers Day!

Hi there and Happy Mothers Day to you if you are a Mum and reading my blog! I hope my own Mum isnt reading this or she will see her card!!!!!

This is the card my ladies made yesterday at my emergency Mothers Day class! I cased the card from a gorgeous one I found on Pinterest. The ladies had an Artisan Embellishment Kit included in the cost of the class which they used on their card and another project we made (which I will show you another day!)

 THe papers used on the card are from the More Amore range and prove that they are not just for Valentine projects.

I love the cream resin flowers you get in the kit, they are gorgeous!

Right thats a short post from me today! Have a great day!

Floral District suite

Good morning! A little later than planned this morning. I have been for a walk to the Post Office to collect a parcel and its FREEEEEEEEZING

Thought I would warm us up with a nice bright card today. I was so inspired by the wonderful display by Kylie on Saturday that I based my Tuesday class around it. 

Here is the first card we made using the Floral District papers and the new Elegant Butterfly punch.



I have combined this with the Petals a Plenty embossing folder and the sentiment from a new stamp set called Friendly Phrases which I am really enjoying using.





Inside got a little bit of treatment too!



Hope you like the make and I will be back with the rest of the cards over the next couple of days.

Bye for now
