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.

Fall Birthday Card and a Little Fall Vignette

Here's another version of a Fall card I made using our Blended Seasons stamp set.  I made a big batch of these for the September birthday cards for our church to send out.  I'm actually using this same stamp set for their October birthdays and I'll be sharing that card soon.

I layered 2 punched pieces to create the focal piece of the card.

Notice how the top layer pops when you add a black mat behind it.

Here's a little Fall vignette for you to enjoy.  I made this sampler several years ago and am still enjoying displaying it each Fall season.

Color Your Seasons Bundle / Fall Card

There is just something about a Fall card that makes my heart sing.  (Yes, I know.  I just put 'Wild Thing' into my ear worm for the day.)  I think it's because Fall cards bring out the nature lover in me.  I am a total nature lover --- from my studio:)  I love designing and creating cards, but an extra joy runs through me when it comes to nature types of cards.  They are my absolute love, joy, passion ... you get the idea.  Here's the Fall card I created for our Saturday Stampers class (August 18).

I used one of my favorite go-to colors for Fall cards as my card base - Cajun Craze.  The black mat under the top layer just makes the top layer pop.  Oops!  There's that HGTV adjective again, but, honestly, that's what it does:)

Come back soon to see my next card I created for this class.

Narrow Note Cards ... Lots to Love

Note cards AND boxes?  Count me in!  I love our new Narrow Note Cards!  When I made up some note card sets using my favorite new DSP, tied them together with my favorite new ribbons, added a quick greeting, using a great new punch ..... and then popped them into the cutest little box ever ..... well, what else can I say but WOW!

The box on the left (below) is made entirely with the sturdy DSP.  The box on the right (below) is made from Marina Mist CS and then a piece of DSP added to the front of the box. 

We haven't had a DSP with Marina Mist in it for a long, long, long time ... if ever.  It's such a gorgeous color.  I'm delighted to have some DSP to use with it. 

You can fit several of the note cards with their envelopes in each box.  Did you notice the cute little sequins on the first box? They are adhesive backed!  How cool is that???

Quick run-down of super fun ahead:

-STAMPIN' BLENDS
As my customers who just received their orders of new Stampin' Blends keep telling me --- These are addictive!  OK, you've been warned.
Click to see info on free class using Stampin' Blends. 

Important note:
A happy/sad problem right now is that the Stampin' Blends have become so popular, that our supplier can't keep up with the demand.  The 'Blendies', as I like to call them, are temporarily on back order right now, until SU lets us know.  If you were planning on ordering these and taking my free class, don't despair.  I will extend my offer for the class until further notice.  We will have our time to enjoy this fabulous new product, I promise.
