Hi there...  Are you looking forward to spring just as much as I am?  We have had some glimpses recently and some potential warm weather in the next few days.  Can't wait!  These projects will hopefully help you feel the spring bug. 

I have 3 card projects for you that are super easy and feature the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks.  You can see my first posting using this mask HERE.  Be sure to check it out. 

1.)  Layered Butterfly with decorative corners.  The bottom of the butterfly is a light layer of Bermuda Bay and the butterfly detail is heavy, multiple layers of Bermuda Bay.  I applied my ink using Blending Brushes.  

2.)  Roses and vines are Melon Mambo and Old Olive inks, again,  applied with Blending Brushes.  Basic White card stock cut 2-1/2 x 4 each.  

3.)  This butterfly truly shows off why these masks have the word "Layering" in their name.  You can layer the patterns to get different affects.  Gorgeous Grape ink applied with Blending Brushes with a light base coat and multiple layers for the dark detail. 

Just a Reminder:  You have until April 30, 2020 for Last Chance Products!   Items retiring from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog with some being discounted.

Saying goodbye to the 2020-2022 In-Colors... I cannot believe it has been two years already and we are saying goodbye to these five great colors; Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  But as sad as we might be to see them go, only means five great new colors will be introduced. 

Using the Ranunculus Romance Bundle, I gave each color a showing in this card project. 

Card Details:

• Misty Moonlight Card Stock:      4-1/4 x 5-1/2 and 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
• Magenta Madness Card Stock:   3 x 3
• Just Jade Card Stock:                   2 x 4-1/2
• Basic White Card Stock:              (2) 4 x 5-1/4

Other supplies:  Scalloped Contour Dies, Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, Sponge Daubers

• Form Misty Moonlight card base by folding the 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of CS in half. 
• With Cinnamon Cider Ink, stamping ink off twice, stamp the antique script words randomly on one of the 4 x 5-1/2 Basic White and adhere to card base
• With the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Misty Moonlight, die cut the second largest Contour die and 4 decorative dies from Ranunculus dies, adhering those to the four corners of Contour die cut. 
• Add a piece of Crinkle ribbon to above and adhere to card front
• Die cut Ranunculus flower outline with the 3 x 3 Magenta Madness CS
• With the 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS:
  
  • die cut detailed ranunculus flower
  • die cut 2nd smallest Scalloped Contour die
  • stamp flower* and die cut
  • stamp "hello" in Bumblebee ink and die cut

*stamp flower:  I used Magenta Madness and Just Jade and a Stampin' Sponge to add color to the stamp

• Adhere white detail die cut flower to Magenta Madness and glue to card front. 
• Die cut two leaves from the Ranunculus dies and adhere to back corners of the Scalloped Contour die and add to card front with Dimensionals
• I added the Ranunculus stamped flowers with Dimensionals to the above
• The "Hello" is adhered with Dimensionals
• I tied a double bow with White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon

Hello there... 

My card project today was from a product challenge I took part in.  My upline sends a random sampling of product that is being released, in the case,  from the 2022 Jan-June Mini catalog.  For this card I used a piece of the Flowerings Fields 12 x 12" Designer Series Paper and the Brushed Brass Butterflies.  

I am super excited that my card came in 1st place!  Yahoo!  So, let me share with you. 

Card Details:

• 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Basic Black Card Stock - scored and folded at 4-1/4 to form card base
• DSP 4 x 5-1/4 
• Poppy Parade card stock 4 x 5-1/4 and scrap to die cut the letters

You will need five different sizes of the Stitched Rectangle Die.  You will cut the DSP with the largest one, then third and fourth sizes down. 

With the second largest and small rectangle dies, you will cut the Poppy Parade card stock

• Once all rectangles are cut, adhere the largest DSP piece on top of Poppy Parade that leaves a 1/4" boarder.  Adhere with two (2) layers of Black Dimensionals for extra height. 
• Do the same thing to the next sizes down except only use one (1) layer of Black Dimensionals. 

Die cut three (3) sets of "HELLO" with the left over small rectangle and scrap Poppy Parade card stock.  Glue letters together and adhere to center of card.  Decorate with a couple of the Brushed Brass Butterflies. 

You can find the Flowering Fields DSP and Brushed Brass Butterflies in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog, along with a ton of other great products!

Join My Team and you too can take part in these fun challenges!  OH!  Did I mention there are great prizes too.

It's that time of year again...  Valentine's for all those special people in your world.  And the "Sweet Conversations Bundle" is here to help  along with the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper.  I love the many great coordinating colors!

Look at that cute mini envelope!  You can make hearts spill out all over. 

Card Details:

• Real Red card stock (CS) case base 5-1/4 x 8-1/2 scored and folded at 4-1/4"
• Blushing Bride CS 2-1/2 x 4
• Basic White CS 2 x 2, 3 x 3 and 2-1/2 x 4
• 3/4" wide strips of DSP (don't forget, DSP is double sided so be sure to use both)

• stamp words at top of 2-1/2 x 4 Basic White in Real Red ink
• you will want to attach the Blushing Bride CS to the Basic White from above - do not attach to card from yet.  Make sure alignment of the Blushing Bride and Basic White are aligned to equal 4"
• Die cut 9 banners and adhere across the card front where the Blushing Bride and white meet.
• Wrap a 4-1/2" piece of the Real Red Faux Linen ribbon across to cover where the two card stock pieces meet and top of banners
• Adhere to Real Red card stock
• On 2 x 2 Basic White, stamp heart in Real Red and Highland Heather, then die cut
• With 3 x 3 Basic White, die cut and form the envelop die.  Adhere to card front and adhere purple heart

Have fun with this project.  Change up the card base colors or the Sweet Talk DSP.   Even the ribbon that you use... this is a very interchangeable card.
