Six Flowers Card

I CASED this card from Melanie Brown's blog post back in 2011.  The flowers and leaves are from the Cricut Essentials cartridge.  I traced them in Make The Cut software and cut them using my Cameo.

It's a simple card to assemble...once you get all the flowers cut and placed.   There are twenty pieces on the card front!

Elegant Butterfly Punch Card

The papers I used are from a 4.5" x 6.5" Paper Adventures stack that I got at the last swarm I attended.  We all took items that we no longer wanted and put them on a table for whoever wanted them.  I don't remember who brought the stack, but I've made a lot of cards with it and still have most of it left.

The stack has several sheets of different patterned papers all within one color group, making it super easy for me to use.  No guessing or searching for coordinating papers!

The butterflies were done with a Stampin' Up Elegant Butterfly punch.  The shapes underneath them are from the Cricut cartridge, Essentials.  They were resized and cut using Make The Cut software and a Cameo.

The braided border was done with an EK Success punch.
