Hi all,

I didn't think Stampin' Up! could give us a better green than Old Olive until along comes Granny Apple Green!  It's bright, it's rich and it's just so versatile!  I have used it this month to colour in those gorgeous Frogs and now it's being used to create a butterfly themed card!

For this card base I have cut a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock to measure 21cm x 14.9cm, scored and folded in half at 10.5cm.

The white strip across the middle of the card measures 2" x 14.9cm and has been stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and then attached onto the card front.  I have used Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive for this.

The black edging that you see is not a layer underneath the white strip, but instead two small strips of Basic Black Cardstock.

As always I have added a bit of stamping to the envelope to tie this project all together!

Hi all,

As mentioned yesterday, today's cards will have the theme of butterflies!  I have created 4 cards in a set using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Butterfly Duet Punch, both of which completely SOLD OUT within the first 2 months of being available in the UK, WOW!

Today's card is using shades and textures of the scrummy Coastal Cabana colour that features in our Brights Collection.  This colour, for some reason, always makes me think of the seaside and makes me feel happy!

I have used Thick A4 Whisper White Cardstock to create the cardbase which measures 10.5cm x 30cm and scored at 15cm.  I have added a top layer of Coastal Cabana Cardstock and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the sentiment feature, I have cut a selection of circles using circle punches, and the sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed.  This sentiment is part of the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and I think it is such a nice way to let someone know you appreciate them.


For the butterflies, I have stamped two sets of each set, one using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Coastal Cabana Cardstock, and Coastal Cabana Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.  The bodies have been stamped once punched out in Tuxedo Black Memento.  

I have arranged the butterflies across the front of the card, stuck and then used Tuexdo Black Memento to stamp the antennae to finish.
