Hers is the one on the left.  I loved her card and a group of ladies I stamp with once a month requested we try to make one like it.

I'm back again!

Butterfly flight

Happy Saturday all!

I was looking around on some different blogs for some inspiration and came across yourfellowstamper.blogspot.com for Gilda Fellows who is living in Tokyo Japan right now during this horrible crisis and I decided I would like to CASE her because she has so many beautiful things to share. This is my version of a butterfly frame she did. I used the same colors but did not place a sentiment in the middle. Hope you like it...it will probably end up as a door prize one of these days.

This is the 3-D item that the club members got to make for March. This was the big hit of the whole club. everyone loved making it...some kept it for themselves and some made it to give as a gift to a certain person. It was so simple and cheap to make that I might make some to sell at a craft show some day.

Build a Blossom

Good morning all!



I am trying to get myself back into blogging and I thought I would share some of my monthly club cards with you. Each month I have a group of ladies that come over for some fun and make 4 cards and 1 3-d item. Hope you enjoy this one, it is made with the the new Build a Blossom and Blossom Petals punch from the 201 1Occasions Mini Catalog. It seems like a tricky set to use but once you get the hang of it, there are endless possibilities of how it can be used. It is probably my favorite item right now. I decided you  can never have too many birthday cards and i love this color combination!

Recipe:

Stamps: Build a Blossom (2011 Occasions Mini) and So Happy For You ( 2011 Sale-a-bration)

Paper: SU Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White and Sunny Garden DSP

Ink:  SU Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasbi, and Marina Mist

Happy Stampin!
