Birthday Card for the Stud!o #5

 Here we go again with the butterflies.  Yes, I do love them!  They're great additions to birthday cards.

This is a busier card that others I've showed in previous days... No more difficult, just extra steps, and more color.

I used the stamp sets Swirly Birds, and Celebrate You! for this card.  I really like that Happy Birthday sentiment.  It's a favorite.

Here you can see the butterfly is only attached to the card by its body so the wings are loose.

Birthday Card Buffet for the Stud!o #1

YES, I'm still here.  Other than the understatement that this year at work has been more than difficult...  I've been quite recalcitrant in putting up my card creations here.  I know... Terrible.

My dear friend Zandra runs an art studio just north of here in Bartlesville, and she has a Birthday Card Buffet available for people to come in and create their own birthday cards!

 Here is the first in a series of 7 cards I created for her Birthday Card Buffet.
Options.  Let's talk options.  Color?  Of course!  Use any color you like for this card.  The first example above doesn't have any rhinestones.  Do you want to use pearls?  Stickles?  Use your imagination!

 I was not sure of the skill level of her customers, so I used a variety of techniques.  This is called a 10 cards in 10 minutes level card.  It uses one stamp set Butterfly Basics for the main stamping, and a Happy Birthday sentiment from another set.

The raised butterfly is one of my very favorite techniques - and so easy with impressive results!  I added a few small rhinestones to the body.  In another series card, I've placed rhinestones as I usually do with the largest at the top of the butterfly, to the smallest at the bottom.

Birthday Butterfly Revisited

 I do LOVE these cards!

They are simple and quick to put together, and are lots of fun!

I'm devastated that my favorite stamp set Gorgeous Grunge is retiring.  I'll continue to use it, but it won't be available after May 31st.

I just had to use it with Bermuda Bay for this card background, and I decided to try it with the new Berry Burst.  It's a great combination!

Butterfly Birthday - Quick, Easy, and Stylish!

 I think this has to be the fastest card I've EVER put together!

I initially made 5 of them - when you begin stamping with Gorgeous Grunge, it's easy to just keep going for awhile!  Stamp the larger spots in Pool Party, then add a few splats of Melon Mambo.  Use Elegant Eggplant to stamp the Happy Birthday, and you're done stamping!

Die cut the butterfly using Elegant Eggplant card stock, and attach with a  few small pieces of dimensionals, but first, cut a length of Melon Mambo twine - about 6 inches.... and lock it to the paper with the dimensional pieces. Add a rhinestone, and you're finished!

 SO pretty!!

I might stamp up a few more of these and send them with Mom when she's here to visit. :)
