Friday Friend Share

Here's a card that my friend, Cathy, designed. She used a Stampin' Up! stamp set, Summer Silhouettes, that has since been retired. I don't know what company's embossing folder she used. 

She used silver and a couple of shades of blue to stamp the floral piece.

I might be able to make a similar card with this current Stampin' Up! stamp set-

Butterfly Basics stamp set

I would use the flower and the fern.

Tuesday Tutorial # 12 Butterfly Basic Floral Birthday

Today's tutorial shows you how I center a stamped image in a cut out 'window'. It also features the techniques of dry embossing and die cutting. The inside is also decorated with stamped images.

I used the Basic Butterfly stamp set and the Oval collection framelit dies.

Hexagon Quilt Card

Here's a card that I created because I haven't played with these items much. I have had the hexagon embossing folder, punch and stamp sets that go with them, but just haven't pulled them out to play with.
My mom makes a lot of quilts and it is her birthday next week, so I thought this would be a good theme for a card. Plus she has too many flowers to count, so it is a perfect fit; flowers and quilts.

I thought it would look pretty with a butterfly, so I added the Butterfly Basics stamp set butterfly and layered it on the die cut butterfly from the new Butterfly framelit set.

I used a brayer to apply Crushed Curry ink to the embossing folder before I ran it through the Big Shot. That's why you can see the embossed lines on the background paper.

I used Designer Series paper and the hexagon punch for the flowers and leaves. But if you want to you can use the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set and stamp and punch the flowers and leaves.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and I punched it out with the Word Window punch and matted it with the modern label punch.

Spring Flutter Butterfly Basics Card

I'm sure that spring is on the way. I noticed tonight that it was after 5 PM and it wasn't dark yet! That is something that cheers me up. I hope this card will cheer you too!
