Love is like a butterfly …

The Stampin’ Up butterfly punch is fabulous and I love using it on my projects:

 

 I was playing with colours and loved this combination. I stamped onto cardstock first using various stamps and colours, before punching out the butterflies. I inked up the edges with crumb cake ink, and made little faux buttons for the centres with the left-over stamped cardstock pieces. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of bling and am really happy with the way it turned out! There is even room to add a sentiment if I wish…

 

 

Stampin’ Up supplies used:

Cardstock: very vanilla, crumb cake, pretty in pink; Inks: pretty in pink, crumb cake, pink pirouette; Stamp sets: tiny tags, en français, dot dot dot, music notes wheel, bliss (retired); Punches: butterfly, boho blossoms, ¼” circle (retired), jewelry tag; Accessories: very vanilla taffeta ribbon, basic rhinestones, paper piercer and mat pack, sponge daubers, crumb cake marker pen, stampin dimensionals, safety pin from my sewing box.

My Cherie amour…

I love that song by Stevie Wonder! I was lucky enough to see him in concert in Manchester a couple of years back. He is one of my all time favourite artists and the concert was fantastic! I had the best time! Anyway, I digress…

For this card I was experimenting with new ideas and love the shabby chic look of the tag. This style of card could be used for birthdays, anniversaries, or even Valentines…but this one went to a very special friend of my daughter…

 

Stampin’ Up supplies used:

Cardstock: very vanilla, real red; Inks: crumb cake, real red; Stamp sets: artistic etchings, en français; Punches: 1⅜” circle, crop-a-dile; Accessories: dsp from hostess and bella bleu sets (both retired), pewter jumbo eyelet, real red striped grosgrain ribbon, linen thread, mini glue dot, sponge daubers, stampin’ dimensionals.
