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!

Delicate Florals

I know I'm going to go crazy over these floral die cuts!  They are so pretty, and with what I've seen already, they are going to be amazingly versatile!

This is a CASE of a card I saw on a video from Kay Khaltoff (You'll find a link to her blog in the sidebar on the right.)  After I watched her directions, I put this together, changing it up a little.



With these new very intricate dies, you definitely want to purchase the die brush!  While watching her video, I saw that she keeps her foam pad inside one of the large wood stamp cases.  BRILLIANT!  It's contained, and all the little pieces don't end up all over the counter or floor!

After you've cut the die out of the 4" by 2" piece of cardstock, this card goes together in a snap!

In the materials listing, I'm showing 4 different ways you can pick up this sweet set.  There are 2 bundle packages saving 10% off the regular prices, and I've also listed the stamp set and die set separately.  Don't think you need to get all 4... by no means!  Choose the ONE that works best for you.

June 25, 2016 Card Club (Part 2)

Good Morning again, Stampers and Friends!

This post shows the 2nd set of 2 cards we're making for today's club meeting.  I LOVE these!  I think they're so beautiful!

 In the catalog these cards are used almost exclusively with the color Night of Navy.  Lately I've seen this card in other colors, and it looks fabulous!  I'm not quite ready to move away from the Navy yet. 
Of course these cards lend themselves so easily to wedding cards, BUT I just don't need that many wedding cards!
People really do need Thank You cards much more often, and in the stamp set that coordinates with the die cuts, there are a few really nice Thank You's to use.

There will soon be a kit available to make these cards.  Click on the Kits tab to find the supplies and directions to make these two beautiful cards and more!
