Embossed Flight of the Butterfly

I  seem to be on a Flight of the Butterfly kick lately.  Actually this card was one I considered for club last month but decided against it.  It uses two of the three new colors of embossing powder from the summer mini catalog, but it just didn't pop as much as I wanted it to.  The butterflies are punched and "flying" off the page and the flowers are embossed, so still a cute card, but it didn't have the wow factor with the embossing powder I was looking for.  Stay tuned - I plan to use the embossing powder this month!

Flight of the Butterfly Version 2

Here's another version of that same card.  We are doing "summery" cards this weekend at my stamp-a-stack, and I thought this one fit the bill, but it needed some tweaking.  I don't have enough Designer Series Paper for everyone to do 3 of this card so we will be using a texturz plate and the Big Shot.  I also decided to eliminate the ribbon.  Tiny bows are not very popular on stamp-a-stack nights since we do multiples of each card, and I like the card with and without a bow.

Flight of the Butterfly

One of my many "summer resolutions" is to participate in sketch and color challenges on the internet. I thought it would be fun to shake things up a bit and try someone else's colors and layouts since I have my favorites that I use often. So I decided to start with Mojo Monday's week 192 sketch. Maybe I should have done a color challenge at the same time because picking colors seemed to be the most time consuming. I had the sketch with me as I pulled out three stamp sets to choose from. I opened Flight of the Butterfly and never even tried the other two.  Here is the original sketch.  I stuck pretty close to the sketch this time, but maybe next time I will branch out and deviate a bit.

Spring Time Butterfly

This was one of the cards we made at last month's stamp-a-stack. I was aiming for springy cards, but also cards that can be used for several occasions. Flight of the Butterfly has 3 different curly word trails so there are lots of great options.

Supplies: Flight of the Butterfly, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, Lovely Lilac, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White, Basic Black cardstock, Lovely Lilac, Almost Amethyst, Basic Black ink, scallop trim border punch

Butterfly Spinner Card

This card style might look familiar.  In December, I posted a card made with an ornament from Delightful Decorations.   You can see that one here.  But this one was actually the first one I made.  I participated in a "Wow" swap hosted by my upline and I wanted to make something that would last beyond the holidays.  I scored the butterfly along its body so the wings could be raised off of the card front.  The inside butterfly was made with two butterflies and a piece of dental floss (insert MacGyver joke here).    I also used a texturz plate and my Big Shot on the front Pretty in Pink piece of cardstock, but I'm afraid that doesn't show up well. 

Supplies:  Flight of the Butterfly stamp set, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose ink, Whisper White, Basic Black, Regal Rose, and Pretty in Pink cardstock, Texturz plate, Big Shot, Circle Scissors, Eyelet Border Punch and dental floss.
