Pressed Petals Series, Part 5 ... a Bookmark

We went to Springfield to my orthopedic surgeon yesterday.  I had to have my aching knee checked.  We're postponing surgery for now and trying a few other ideas to calm it down.  If my cold doesn't get better, I'm going to be 'down for the count' with that.  I feel like I'm grinding up my chest when I cough.  Everyone seems to be getting a cold right now.  Ugh!  It really sets off my asthma.  I just want to play with Joey and my furry babies ... and stamp.
I have another Pressed Petals project for you today ... a bookmark.  This was a surprise project I created for my Scraps and Prayers group at our last class, in addition to the journals we decorated.

I added Wink of Stella to the butterflies.

The cardstock is Merry Merlot.

Card Trio for my May Scraps and Prayers Class ... Total Technique Fun!

Today, I have a trio of super fun cards to share with you.  We will be making all three of these at our May Scraps and Prayers class.  They include several fun techniques. 
One card involves watercoloring the flower from our Beautiful Day stamp set.  The second card uses our Daisy punch and has a couple of super fun and easy techniques using two of our Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (TIEF).  The third card has yet a third technique for using our embossing folders.  It's also fun and super easy.  We'll be using the Stamparatus, too, so that our stamping will come out just perfect.  I think you'll love this class!  Pay to register soon, to save your spot.

If you live in my area, I hope you'll come and join us for an evening of fellowship and creative fun.

Laugh Cry Smile Card

Laugh ... Cry ... Smile ... Repeat.  That kind of sums up daily life sometimes.  Thankfully, I've been able to have the laugh / smile parts the most.  That's good.  I love the text of this card.  The whole thing came out quite pretty.  Of course it would, with this gorgeous DSP and all the butterflies:)

I added Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to the punched butterfly.  I attached him by just the middle of his body, so his wings could be more dimensional.  The card base is one of our newer colors - Balmy Blue.  It's a really pretty shade of blue.

I covered the envelope flap with the DSP and then used a left-over strip to perk up the front.  Fancy:)

UP NEXT:

March 11 --- Scraps and Prayers / 5:30-7:30 / $18.
We'll be working with thinlits and framelits, doing some heat embossing, and adding a bit of Shimmer Paint to our beautiful cards.

We're going to have a blast playing with BRUSHO.  I decided that we'll use it for card making, rather than creating a Swatch Book, but I'll show you how you could make your own Swatch Book at home.

Botanical Butterfly Cards, Design 2

Here are the cards I made using the second design from my 'Class On The Go' kit.  Again, I made 2 cards, one with each side of the DSP.

I love the black and Highland Heather together ... very pretty!

I used a sponge dauber and ink to color a ribbon to match the Highland Heather card.

Isn't this new embossing folder pretty?  I love it!

I love both cards, but I think the one on the left is my favorite.  I love the black and white DSP on this one.

Botanical Butterfly Cards, Design 1

Here is the first design I made using my 'Class on the Go' Kit from our January Scraps and Prayers.  I made 2 versions, one with each side of the DSP sheet.

I love the black and white!  A cool thing about this DSP is that one side of each sheet is in color and the reverse side is black and white.  Love that!

I used several punches on my cards --- quick and easy.

Each kit has an entire 1/4 sheet of embossed black CS, so you can cut it to whatever sizes you'd like to use in your cards.  The patterned butterfly is fussy cut, using one of the butterflies from the DSP.  If you don't want to fussy cut, you can use the coordinating stamp set for the Butterfly Duet punch and just stamp and punch out your butterfly.
