Spring Fever

Hello! This week we've had a couple unusually warm days where we could open up the windows, let a little fresh air in and hear the birds sing. Swoon! Reminds me of spring! 

And...it inspired me to get out the Artful Butterfly dies and new Fun Stampers Journey Spring Parade patterned paper pack to create a project with.

This is my favorite pattern in the pack. 

I created the butterflies with two layers of card stock and adhered them to the card with Journey Foam Squares to make them look like they're in flight.

Let's Craft!

I started the day rummaging through my scrap paper bin searching for some patterned paper to inspire a little craft session. Turns out this star paper is a Chickaniddy design that was part of a Scraptastic Club kit from a few months back.  

Then I found the pink heart print paper that's an old patterned from Pebbles' Yours Truly collection. I love the way it looks with the star paper. 

The die cut card stock stars and the cork stars are also left over accents from previous Scraptastic Club kits. And that beautiful butterfly is made by Pink Paisley, part of their Bella Rouge collection and once included in another Scraptastic Club kit. 

Then there's that darling little star charm...something I've had in my stash for years.

Together these papers and accents came together beautifully, I think. It's an all occasion card that can be used for birthday, thinking of you or just a note. 

What a fun, relaxing way to start the day! Now I'm ready to take on some assignments. I'll be working on some more Anna Griffin HSN projects that will air on the next 24 Hour Craft event on September 9th. 

Butterfly Card

Hello!

Happy Sunday! It's a beautiful day here in North Carolina. What's it like your area? It's been a pretty mild winter so far all over the U.S. I don't know about you, but I like it!

Today I have a happy, colorful card I made with Doodlebug Design's Colorwheel collection.

I don't know if you can tell from my photos that the white embossed portion of my card is lifted with adhesive foam tape along with the floral scalloped die cut circle.

I love yellow, it's so bright and sunny! And this glittery flower is giving my card some sparkle along with a couple gems.

To give this butterfly sticker dimension, I folded the wings up from the body and then added a bit of adhesive foam underneath. That makes it look like my butterfly has just landed or is about to take off again.

I hope you enjoyed my card share and that it makes your day just a little bit brighter!

I'd love it if you join me tomorrow because I finally get to show you my Bella Blvd. projects that are at CHA. Oh, I wish I were there! How about you?

Butterfly Greeting

Hi!

It's been a couple days since I've posted something crafty for you! I've been tackling other things and haven't had a chance to play and share, but this morning I whipped up this hybrid card.

I used a new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Paperazzi - Vintage'by Polka Dot Pixels. I'm lovin' all things vintage these days so this kit is right up my alley!

Crinkled seam binding is the perfect accent for all things vintage! I topped mine with some pretty felt butterfly die cuts and a little paper rose. A sprinkling of micro mini buttons and rhinestones finished this design. Ah...it felt good to get my craft on today!

Hope you have a beautiful day! :) Kathy
