Metallic Butterfly Birthday Wishes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Pinterest board.....I thought this card was super cool! Instead of a snowflake, my card has a layered metallic butterfly cut from copper, gold, silver, and black mirror paper with the Butterfly Layering Combo Dies from Divinity Designs LLC.  The background panel was cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies and spritzed heavily with Copper Glimmer Mist, layered on a Matting Rectangle.  The sentiment and dies are from Wonky Wishes.  Under the sentiment strip are three strands of metallic cord: copper, gold, and silver to coordinate with the butterfly.  The card base was cut with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies set.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Simple Things In Life

 

Hi, everyone!  This week's Sketch Challenge over at Splitcoast is another "double dare"......simply create a card with this layout on the front....OR try a 'Die Cut Gate Fold' with a Belly Band, which is what I did!  Check out the tutorial HERE.  I saw some pretty Prima butterfly paper in my stash which hasn't seen the light of day for several years so I chose it for my panel layers, along with some Bordering Blue cardstock from my beloved retired Stampin Up stash.  The butterfly sentiment panel was cut with the mat from the Fancy Fritillary Dies (by Divinity Designs LLC); the sentiment is from 'Little Things'.  The shape was cut from white, sponged with yellow and peach, dotted with a white gel pen, then layered onto a mat which I traced and cut out by hand.  Blue pearls were added for a simple embellishment.  Other dies used from Divinity Designs LLC: Leafy Edged Borders Dies, Pierced Rectangles, and Belly Band.

Hi, everyone!  I'm loving the CAS (clean and simple) Sketch Challenge this week over at Splitcoast!  A perfect way to share a sneak peek of some new goodies from Divinity Designs LLC (available January 1st).  The four designer paper patterns are all from the 'Happy Hearts' Paper Pad; the sentiment is from 'Thank You' clear stamps, cut out with the largest of the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.  The large Thank You was cut out with the 'Thank You' Dies and the tiny hearts are from the 'Heart Clay Sprinkles'.....part of the Shaker Supplies line.  The paper strips were adhered together and cut out with the largest of the Pierced Rectangles Dies.  Paper Piercing and 'Faux Stitching' was used since I am NOT good at sewing on paper....eek, what a nightmare! lol!!  The panel was framed with the Matting Rectangle Die and the pink card base was cut out with the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

New Year Mandala

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Ina aka yellowrose46...congrats, Ina!!!  I chose this beautiful Iris Fold card with the irridescent stars as inspiration for my card today.  I didn't have any irridescent  paper, so I used blue and silver mirror paper. The background paper is from the Shine Bright Paper Pad and here are the dies used for this card from Divinity Designs LLC: Mandala Layering Combo, Snow Crystals, Christmas Dove, Matting Rectangle, Rectangles, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer, and Holiday Words. 

Thanks for visiting with me!

Hi, everyone!  For my card today, I have combined Splitcoast's Color Challenge (Sea Foam, Pear, Peacock) with the Sketch Challenge.  The cute birdies and sentiment are from the Snowbirds Stamp/Die Duos set by Divinity Designs LLC.  The snowflake panel and mat are from the Snowflake Sky Dies set; the foliage is from the 'Pinecones and Pine Branches' Dies set. Other dies used are the Sentiment Strips with Layers Dies, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Dies.  Though the camera does not show it, the snowflake background and sentiment panel are white shimmer paper....looks really pretty in the real.
