Circles With Butterflies Card

Punched butterflies and circles make up the focal point on this card.  The smaller butterfly has Liquid Pearl drops.

Pastel Butterflies Card

The butterflies, scalloped borders and the piece for the sentiment were done with Stampin' Up punches.  I added some baby blue liquid pearl dots and pen stitching with a Stampin' Up marker.  The base for the butterflies and the yellow border were embossed with Cuttlebug folders.

Folded Doily Card

While looking through a Stampin' Up brochure today I saw a card with a paper doily sewn onto it.  This is my version of that card.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies, printed the sentiment on my computer, added some butterflies on the background with Versamark ink, some Liquid Pearl drops and white stitching.

These went together quickly.  I managed to lay the design out and complete eight of them while my 17 month old grandson was down for a nap.  When he's awake, there's no way I can make cards! LOL!

Clip Art Bird Card

The bird image is free clip art I found on Google.  Adding a sentiment to it using card making software was simple to do.  Then I printed the image onto some vintage paper, added some scalloped punch shapes using an EK Success punch, and a short piece using an EK Success border punch, Liquid Pearl dots and a silk flower to finish.  There's a light Chestnut Brown ink used on the edges.

Playing with my new supplies

The guitar on this came from the Slumber Party cartridge that I purchased recently.  I needed a "chick" cutout and found this one on My Community.  It had to be resized to cut it large enough since it's a baby chick beside a hen on that cartridge.  The little flower is a Bitty Punch that I ran through the Cuttlebug and added some Stickles to for some bling.  Stickles are also on the guitar and the scallop circle punch out.



The cupcakes were done with a SU punch and the sentiment came from Birthday Bakery stamp set.

 

SU Butterfly punch and stamps were used.  I added some Liquid Pearl dots.  The paper is K & Company.

The Build a Blossom stamp was used on this.  I'm going to have to spend some time with a SU demo to ever learn how to really use this set with the punch.  It seemed like a good idea when I ordered them but they're not as easy to use as I thought they'd be! lol!

This is my favorite of the cards I got done this afternoon.  I used a Bitty Punch for the little red flowers and the sentiment is from SU.  Added some Liquid Pearl accents and did a little bit of doodledots around the edge.
