Butterfly Happy Birthday Card

Good day everyone! How is everyone today? The weather is driving my allergies crazy this week. How about everyone else? 

Today I created a card using the products I picked up from scapbook.com. Scrapbook.com had a stamp set, paper pad and die set bundle onset and I also received a butterfly die set as part of my free gift. I decided I needed to create a card using these supplies.


I started by cutting a piece of silver glitter cardstock to 5 3/8 by 4 1/8. I also chose one of the pink papers from the paper pad and cut it into the same size. I then used a die from MFT designed to create a decorative edge. This die set may be retired, but many stamp companies have these dies. Once I die cut the glitter paper, I then placed the background die for the butterflies on the glitter paper. Using the background die, I cut the small butterfly out of the glitter paper 3 different times. I then cut out 3 small butterflies from some scrap white card stock. I glued everything down with my barely art glue and stamped a sentiment from the stamp set, Happy Birthday. I cut the sentiment out using a sentiment banner die then placed on the card using barely art glue. Lastly, I glued several Studio Katia silver pearls onto the pink background paper to add some interest. That complete the card.

Butterfly Thank You Card

 Good afternoon, everyone! It is finally raining here in Texas! YAY! It has been so dry this summer, not mentioning how hot it has been. I am just so grateful; it has finally decided to rain for a change. Unfortunately, that does not mean cooler temperatures. It is still going to be in the 100's for the next few days. It is September, the temperature is supposed to be going down. UGH! How about everyone else? Has it been extremely hot where you guys live?


Anyway, I created this card using a few different alcohol inks and some butterfly dies from MFT. Unfortunately, this die is no longer available, but I did link a similar die set below. Using Yupo paper, I created an alcohol ink background using a few different pink alcohol inks and a silver mixative. Then I created some sparkle paper using a silver sparkle spray and white cardstock. I cut the butterflies out of the alcohol background and some Simon Says Stamp silver glitter paper. Using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks die set, I cut out the sentiment, Thanks.
