Two Classroom Helpers

Before school started, two of my former students came by and helped me get the classroom library and the games all set up for this school year.

 It's quite a big job, so I gave them a choice of what they'd like for lunch... and sent these cards along with their mothers who work at the school with me.

It was a big job, and the girls rocked it out in record time with everything organized beautifully!

More of the Butterflies in Blue

 I LOVE these so much!
 This is the second set I've made.
 I found a very easy way to get the score lines PERFECT every time. 
 Cut the DSP to 5 1/4" by 4".  On the 4" side, cut in just 2 inches.  On your scoring board, take a Sharpie and draw a line all the way down the 6 inch line.  (You'll thank me for this.)
 Take the point of the top (long edge) and place it on your scoring board on the 6 inch line.  The cut slit you place should either be on your right (or left as the case may be).  Score on your Sharpie line ONLY from the opposite corner up to the very edge of your cut line.  Don't use heavy pressure on DSP - you might cut through.  Use a light touch to score.
 Do this on the other side as well.  Fold on the score lines, and your DSP paper should look like a shirt collar!
 I've been using glue dots to tack the edges down so they're not flapping all over the place.

Another idea.... other DSP.  I could recycle this idea for a LOT of things!  LOVE IT!!

 See the previous post for directions on how to stamp the butterflies.  Like I said, practice makes progress.  There I had one butterfly that was a little off.  These all turned out GREAT!

Butterflies in Blue

I first saw these cards as a set on Pinterest, so here I am CASEing cards again....  I knew the shirt technique, and had all the supplies.

 Everything here is Night of Navy and White. 
 The butterflies are stamped on Whisper White in Night of Navy.  Stamp the first image, the center piece with the spots full strength.  Stamp the outside edges of the butterfly stamping off 1x.  (This technique gives a lighter image. Stamp the solid butterfly image stamping off 2x. 
 Yes, the lining up of the images takes a little practice, but only a LITTLE.  After some practice, you'll get them straight in no-time!  The above image you'll notice is a little 'off'... but I decided to use it anyway.  In nature, not all things are perfect!
The butterflies are mounted with cut pieces of dimensionals, and the rhinestones are added last.

Contact me for more information if you'd like to make some cards like this.  If you're in my club, we'll be making these very soon!

Gift Set of Ten Cards in a Case

Click on any of the ten cards to see a larger view.

This is a set of ten cards I worked on throughout 2016 to have ready as Christmas presents for family and very close friends.  I made 10 sets.... so yes, it was 100 cards! It was totally worth it!  The cards use my very favorite Stampin' Up! paper to date:  Painted Petals.  It was in the Occasions catalog for 2015, I believe.  The entire stack is incredibly versatile as you'll see below in the cards.

I await another paper stack that is again this versatile.  Painted Petals...  Beautiful!

I added details and embellishments to the cards, and gave the set packaged in a decorated wood stamp case with a coordinating pen.  


An embellishment on this card includes a die from the Swirly Scribbles dies.

This card is heavily embellished with a stamped butterfly, a bow, and a tag using two stamp sets.


I LOVE this technique!  So simple, yet absolutely stunning!  This technique can be used with any of the DSP to make amazing cards your friends and family will OOOhh and AAAH over!
Lots of layers on this card as well as a die cut that coordinates with the stamped words.

One of my absolute favorites.  So pretty in Wisteria and Daffodil.
