Butterfly Basics

He everyone, a bit of a vintage look to the colour scheme on my card today.  I have used Calypso Coral, Basic Black, Whisper White and Always Artichoke.

The stamp sets used are 'Butterfly Basics' and 'Labeler Alphabet'. The back ground foliage was stamped 1st and 2nd generation with Always Artichoke on a piece of Whisper White.  The flower was stamped with Basic Black on a piece of Shimmery White and coloured with Calypso Coral and Always Artichoke using an Aqua Painter.  I fussy cut the image out before adhering it over the stamped foliage.

The ombre look Calypso Coral ribbon is from the Cupcakes and Carousels Embellishment Kit.

A few Metal Rimmed Pearls were added to finish the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Butterfly Basics

Celebration!!

With the Year-End Sale on I decided that I would show case some of the great products on offer.  I selected the "Celebration Basics Kit" as you can create your party decor using this kit as a base.  It is on sale for the terrific price of just $10.38.

The Kit includes banner pieces: 15 Kraft pennants; die-cut letters that spell "Celebrate"; jute twine; 10 printed goodie bags; 1 sheet of bag closures; 10 round printed tags and 20 perforated tags.

The banner is quite easy to put together and looks great when displayed.  The other pieces in the kit are great for making party favours and name place cards. 

Another great use is to make cards or you can use the pieces on a scrapbook layout.

Thank you for visiting.

Just adding a butterfly

Hi everyone, just sharing my card that I made for the challenge this week at Just Add Ink. The challenge is to add butterflies.

I have this terrific stash of Washi Tape (I am addicted to the stuff), so I created my background by using a mix of Washi Tape from the 2014-2016 In Colour, Everyday Chic and Bohemian Designer Washi Tape packs.  The colour scheme that I have gone with is Blackberry Bliss, Basic Black, Whisper White and Silver.

Just Add 'Thank You'

It has been awhile since I played along with the challenge at Just Add Ink.  The challenge this week is Just Add 'Thank You'.  I cased the silver embossed butterfly idea from StampTV.  I designed my card around them as I just love the silver embossed on black.


For my card I have used the stamp sets 'Butterfly Basics', 'Everything Eleanor' and 'Crazy About You'.  The butterflies from the 'Butterfly Basics' stamp set have been embossed with Silver and then cut out using the coordinating 'Butterflies' Thinlits Dies.


The DSP is from the Neutrals Paper Pack which I matted on a piece of Sahara Sand with a Basic Black card base.  The sentiment is from the 'Crazy About You' stamps set, stamped in Black Momento ink on Sahara Sand and punched out using the Word Window Punch.

Just Add 'Thank You'

Thank you in butterflies ...

Hi everyone, I would like to share with you my card that I have made for the colour challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts. 


I must admit to sitting on the challenge for a few days, deciding on how to incorporate these colours into a card.  The sketch is one that I cased from Sandy Mathis. I liked the layout so much that I put in my box of ideas and thought it perfect for this colour challenge.


I have used the stamp sets 'Butterfly Basics' and a set from the Sale-A-Bration promotion called 'Lotus Blossum'.  The 'Butterfly Basics' set coordinates with the Butterflies Thinlits which I have used for my butterfly.  I stamped the image in each of the three colours and layered them together to form the butterfly.  A bit of faux stitching was added along with a few pearls to finish.

Butterflies ...

Merry Christmas everyone.


The pressies are wrapped, food done and we are now waiting for Santa, he should be half way across Australia by now.  So to fill in a bit of time I made my card for the Mojo Monday Challenge this week.

For my card I have used some of the new products in the Occasions Catalogue due for release on 2 January, 2015.  The stamp set is "Butterfly Basics" with the matching "Butterflies" Thinlits. I have also used some of the Blushing Bride Rosette Trim in the Artisan Embellishment Kit along with some Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim and DSP from the "Something Borrowed" paper pack.
