Butterfly Beauty

I used my SU Butterfly Punch, some foam tape, and my CTMH Gypsy Ink to create this fun card. I also used my Butterfly Print SU set and Flight of the Butterfly SU set. I stamped the sentiment on the INSIDE of the card (gasp!!!) from My Pink Stamper Buggy Punnies.

NOW YOU DO IT!

I'll Bee Here For You

I used my Tilda stamps, Copics, and SU stamps to make this fun little card. I also pursued the kindergarten 'trick' of creating a paper spring to back sweet little Tilda...I used My Pink Stamper "Buggy Punnies" for the sentiment.

A Fun and Easy Card Set Using Emporium

I've been trying to go through my stash and use my gorgeous products that I've allowed myself to collect. One of my favourite paper packs by CTMH is "Emporium". It is stunningly gorgeous!

I also had some blank cards from Michael's that are only 4 x 5.5", not the usual A2 size. 

I cut a multiple pieces from the Emporium at 3.75 x 5.25", and then another set at 3.5 x 5". I glued these all on in layers. If I were to make a 'fancier' set I would wait to adhere them to the cards, layering with ribbons or brads first. 

I then cut some strips from the Vineyard Berry at 1.5" and cut the lengths at either 4" so I could layer vertically, or 5.25" so I could layer horizontally. I cut the other side of that same paper at 1" strips, and corresponding lengths. I glued these on as well. 

I then cut various images from cardstock in my stash (not an exact match to CTMH but super close). I cut from "Cricut American Alphabet" that is built in to my Cricut Expression 2 Anniversary Edition. I cut each image at 2.5". 

I stamped them all with various stamps from Stampin Up and My Pink Stamper. I made 4 of each card, totalling 20 cards!

Little Boy Smashbook

Well, my sweet sister-in-law loved the baby smashbook so much she asked if I could make one for her older baby, my little nephew, who is four. She loved the idea of the randomness of it, as well as the fact that she isn't a scrapper but can make a unique book.

Of course I was up for the challenge! I had a stack of all boy's paper and some really great boy stamps from My Pink Stamper and CTMH that have been sorely neglected!

I cut out a few Cricut images, made some extra tags and tickets, also stamped from CTMH...cinched it and we were done! Of course it was a little more involved than that, but very fun!

The picture is a bit shiny due to the plastic cover. The cowboy is cut from Paper Doll Dress Up, thr face is of course, Peachy Keen!

NOW YOU DO IT!

Pick Of The Patch

My brother's birthday is this month. I made him this card from Papertrey Ink's Friendship Jar stamp set!

I also used My Pink Stamper set to heat emboss the sentiment!

I coloured with my copics, of course.

NOW YOU DO IT!

Ballerina Card

My daughter is done her dance class tomorrow so I decided to make her dance instructor a card! I used my Fleur-de-Lis Rectangle Spellbinder, a gorgeous Magnolia stamp, and of course, COPICS!!! Sometimes I just have to colour...you know the feeling. I highlighted the tiara and the swirlies around Tilda with my Versamark pen and added CTMH Glitter. And to finish it off, of course, My Pink Stamper stamps.

Christmas or Not? Doily Card

For this card I used layers of CTMH cardstock in Tulip, Sobet and Juniper. I then stamped SU Delicate Doilies in the same inks, and, although it might not show up here, also clear embossed a couple over the coloured ones. The awesome Juniper ribbon is CTMH.The colours could be Christmasy, or not!

You can order the CTMH from the link on my page, and the SU products from my friend Doris at

The stamp is My Pink Stamper.

Doilies, Doilies... More Doilies....

Still LOVING my new Stampin Up stamps. For this card I used some orange and blue from my stash ( remember leftover night?). Ribbon is satin ribbon from American Crafts. The white scalloped border is from CTMH. I clear embossed the big doily from "Hello Doily" and added a smaller doily in sorbet. I cut and embossed it with a circle Nestability. Sentiment is My Pink Stamper.

Flower Doily Card

To make this card I used the Cheery Lynn Designs Doily DL 102, French Pastry, and CTMH Emporium. I LOVE this paper packet. It is a classic. I then cut out the scalloped circle from Cricut Essentials at 2 inches and 2.4 inches. I stamped the little basket from the new stamp set from CTMH (It's a DUO!!! Gift with qualifying purchase for August and September!)

I used my blending pen to pick out the inks of Twilight, Vineyard Berry, Sweet Leaf and Cocoa. I liked the look of these versus my Copics - and I love my Copics - but wanted a rougher look, not as smoothly shaded. 

Sentiment is from ... you guessed it! My Pink Stamper Stamps! Cut using Nestabilities. 

NOW YOU DO IT!

Butterfly Card

This is by no means an original idea. I used the butterflies from Elegant Edges after trying a few others that tore. I love the black and white background and then the pretty pink butterfly! I embellished with CTMH Sparkles. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper. I used Spellbinders to cut it out! 

NOW YOU DO IT!

Family Frame

I have really wanted to 'branch out' into Home Decor - not my strong suit, and nothing I am too familiar with. But I am so inspired by fellow crafter's blogs and posts that I thought I would try something! I used the following:

8 x 10 picture frame, glass removed

Cardstock from stash

Sweet Leaf (CTMH) Carstock

CTMH Topiary Ink

CTMH Sweet Leaf Ink

CTMH Wings paper

CTMH Opaques

Cricut Art Nouveau Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (CTMH)

Cricut Damask Decor

Cricut Storybook

Cricut Gypsy Font

CTMH Dimensionals

CTMH Flax - Sorbet

Spellbinders

Martha Stewart punch

My Pink Stamper Stamps

I began with the flower vine from Art Nouveau and built from there, layering like crazy and using pop dots. I still wasn't quite satisfied so I added some cut and embossed Spellbinders flowers and punched the side base paper with a Martha Stewart punch. I used various My Pink Stamper stamps to stamp "Treasure", "Scripture Power" and "Heart & Soul".
