Garden Butterflies

Good evening, tonight I am sharing the last card we did at Hannah's birthday party. This one features Peach Parfait and butterflies made with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die and the Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper. There is some texture added with the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Stamp Set we used is Great Friend and the sentiment and framed image where stamped in Basic Gray Classic Ink and the Stamp-a-ma-jig was used to line them up on the Whisper White Card Stock that was cut out with the Matchbox Bigz XL Die. Did you know that the Matchbox Die includes three different tags in addition to the Matchbox. We did a little sponging around the tag with the Peach Parfait Classic Ink Pad and a Sponge Dauber. The strip behind the butterflies and the tags are Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade. I am going to try and do some stamping tonight and tomorrow while we have a free day so I hope to post again later tomorrow night, if the weather allows for pictures. Hopefully we will see the sunshine sometime tomorrow or this weekend at least. Have a great evening and if you are a member of Stamp Club then the orders have arrived and are ready for pick up. Thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Peach Butterflies

Good morning! Today I want to share another one of the cards we recently did for Hannah's birthday party. This card uses the Baroque Motifs Stamp Set, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, and the Cottage Garden Stamp Set. The base is Pear Pizzazz Card Stock. We used Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Basic Gray and Peach Parfait Classic Ink Pads for stamping. The Butterflies were made with the Big Shot, Peach Parfait Designer Series Paper from the In Color Paper Stack and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. The Whisper White Card Stock was cut with the Top Note Bigz Die and the Big Shot. It makes a great focal point for the butterflies. The butterflies were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals which gives them a little lift and makes them look as though they are getting ready to take off in flight. I will be back later with the list of new Digital Downloads that became available yesterday afternoon. There are some fun designer paper that I can't wait to play with. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Four Frames Club Card

Good morning, well no sunshine today so I am glad I had a few photos taken from last weeks cards. Today's card is the other Stamp Club card we made last week and uses the new Four Frames Stamp Set and Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper. Which will both be in the new catalog in July but you can purchase or earn them early how you ask. Make a purchase of $20 and you can by either or both of them but if you host a workshop this month that has a total over $350 in merchandise sales then you get them both for FREE! Yep free! Want to try and earn yours, give me a call. Now back to the card. I used Not Quite Navy Card Stock for the base with some texture added with the Big Shot and the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Also used Always Artichoke and Whisper White Card Stock. The Always Artichoke Card Stock was punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and the Whisper White with the Decorative Label Punch. We used the Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the Four Frame Stamp using the Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard and Always Artichoke. We used the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and scrunched it using the thread pull method. The Label was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. I am hoping to get to stamp with the other three stamps in the Four Frames Stamp Set today and if so I will be sure and share those soon. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Fun Club Card!

Good morning! I have a fun new card to share with you today and I am so excited. A few months ago Stampin'Up! shared a new card template with is Demonstrators in our Stampin' Success, well time got away from me and I didn't find time to make the card until this month for Stamp Club. I have been calling it a never ending card because it just keeps turning and turning and truthfully it seems to be a bit addictive as they are hard to put down once you start. The card has four sides and I am sharing a picture of each. It used some of the cute Oh Sew Suite line from the Occassions Mini that is only available until the end of the month so be sure and get your order in if you see something you like. Let me give you the supply list and then I will try and explain the pictures. Cardstock Regal Rose, Tempting Turquiose, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip and Tangerine Tango and Whisper White, Sweet Stitches Designer Series Paper, Sew Suite Stamp Set, Button, Button Stamp Set, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and Sincere Saluations Stamp Set, Sweet Buttons Embosslits, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink Pads and Jet Black Stazon Pad, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1" Circle Punch and Basic Pearl Jewels. The two inside panels are to the left and directly below. The layer with the Mannequins is Paper Pieced and is the first layer you see after you "open" the card. The Birthday Wishes layer is for you to write your message and sign your name. Because this card lays flat you don't want a lot of dimension to keep if from opening so all items were attached with SNAIL.

The next two pictures are of the front and back of the card. The front has the Just for you added on the center panel and both layers have been stamped with the Button, Button Stamp Set. One of the advantages of buying this stamp set in Clear Mount is that I was able to put all the buttons that I was using on one block and then just stamp a couple times instead of stamping each button by itself. Love those time saving tips.

Would you like to learn more about making this card give me a call and we can set up a private class for you and your friends. I would love to share it with you and am considering doing another cards that move class. It has been a while since I have done one and this type of card would be a great fit. Thanks, for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

New Style of Hair Bows

Good evening just a quick post before I head off to bed. I tired a new style of hair bow recently and haven't had a chance to share. This one takes the same Scallop Circle #2 Die and the Big Shot that the other ones have taken the difference is the fabric I used and I got to use my Heat Tool too! I used several layers of Satin material and some sheer too in the Turquoise color and added a Silver Brad in the center to hold it all together. I then heated the layers with the Heat Tool and the fabric crinkles up and gives the Bow a fun appearance. I am going to make some more and may give a few other colors a try too. Let me know what you think please. I would love to hear from feedback. I will be back tomorrow with a fun new card style that we did at Stamp Club this month. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week, Tonya

More Build a Blossom

Good morning! I am back again today with a new card. I sure missed sharing with you and am so glad to be back. Today's card is one that we did at Hannah's birthday party last weekend. It used Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White Card Stock. The polka dot paper is Designer Series Paper from the Cottage Garden Series. The stamp set is Build a Blossom and if you have not purchased it yet don't wait. After this month it is not available (unless it makes the new catalog in July, please, please) I have loved using it the last four months and will be sad to put it away. The sentiment is from Oval All Stamp Set. I used several punches including the Scallop Oval, 1 3/4x 7/8 Oval Punch and the Blossom Petals Punch which is also in the Occassions Mini. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend, Tonya
