More Butterfly cards

Here are a few more butterfly cards. They are all variations of previous cards. I made most of them with ribbon bought (except the burgandy) this week. The flourish is from Target -$1.99 acrylic stamp. The ink is from ColorBox. There were some great deals yesterday, but overall I though last year was better.


There's no sentiment, so these cards are ready to be used for almost any occasion. I've got quite a few more butterflies to use for cards. I might box up a set of 8 w/envelopes for Christmas gifts. Just a thought right now...

A Trio of Butterflies for Caardvarks Challenge

Here is a trio of butterfly cards for the sewing challenge.

The butterflies are made of velveteen ribbon (found in the floral and craft section). They were tied with coordinating ribbon on sale at Michaels this week 5 spools for $1. What a deal! The butterfly trails were stitched using 2-ply DMC embroidery thread. I tried a few different trails, and I don't know which one I like best. Maybe tomorrow I'll try a double trail with 2 butterflies.

There Thanks was hand written using a black brush pen. The For You sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels. And the last card has no sentiment yet. This will go in my any occasion file.

Here's my entry for the SCS24 weekend challenge. I found it on Beata's blog fresh n fun.

The paper is from an old Provo crafts Slab, red cardstock from BigLots, snowflakes are Snow Burst SU!, I handwrote the sentiment with a Jelly pen, and I made the 3-D tree.

Fall Cards

I've always been into making cards. Recently, my interest has really revved up! It might be related to a scrapbook I'm making for my dad's 70th birthday. I've been using my stamps, paper, and die-cuts almost every night!

Here are a few of the fall-themed cards I've made. The instructions for making the 3-D pumpkins are found on the Paper Source website, under how-to. I didn't have any circle stickers, so I just cut out circles and used adhesive. The instructions are here:
