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.

Manly Birthday

Last weekend's stamp-a-stacks were birthday themed so here is the masculine card we did.  I kept it pretty simple with no accessories of any kind... which was hard for me to do!  But the Marina Mist, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake were a good color combination to work with, and I liked how these turned out!

Bouncing Brayer Sunset

This stamp club project features the Bouncing Brayer technique. And it's one of those cards that started as one idea and before I was done, it was a completely different card.  It evolved into a sunrise/sunset card simply because I chose Only Orange for my first try, and the orange looked like rays of sun.  For the water, I ran my Bashful Blue through the Big Shot with a texturz plate, and for the sand, I spritzed it with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz. 

For Bouncing Brayer, you ink up a brayer and place one end of the brayer in the center. Turn your cardstock as you tap the brayer and occasionally give it a slight roll. The one end needs to stay close to the center the entire time. You may need to reink, and you will probably need to go around again. Another option is to roll over your cardstock like you would normally to fill in the white spaces. I used glossy cardstock, but it also works with regular Whisper White, and you can do more than one color. It can be very striking when you stamp a large solid image over the center, but for my purposes, I only used half.

Supplies: Tropical Party and Upsy Daisy stamp sets, Only Orange, Close to Cocoa, Green Galore ink, Summer Sun, Glossy White, Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel cardstock, Big Shot, Texture Plates Kit #4, brayer, Log Cabin Smooch Spritz, Scallop Oval punch and Large Oval punch, 1 3/8 inch circle punch

Bride and Groom Wedding Card Update

Here's an updated version of Thursday's post.  Instead of hoarding one of my favorite cards, I decided to make more.  But this time, I used my Big Shot and a Texturz Plate from Backgrounds 1 to make the bridal gown.  Talk about a time saver!!  I still used Shimmery White cardstock which doesn't show up well in the picture, but it is quite pretty in real life!  I used the 3/4 inch square punch to make the bow tie by cutting the square into 4 pieces, and this card also opens in the center.       Supplies:  Basic Black, Shimmery White cardstock, Big Shot, Texturz Plate from Backgrounds 1 3/4 in. square punch, 1/8 in. hole punch, Organza Ribbon

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.
