Butterfly Basics & Painted Petals

I LOVE the Butterfly Basics stamp set!!!!  There are so many wonderful stamps in this collection.  This card was taught by Juli Whitfield at our last Stamp Camp North.  It doesn't look like it but the base card stock and ink includes Blackberry Bliss and Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight.

This next card was taught by Lisa Gray at our Stamp Camp North.  I love the fold Lisa used.  I'm not happy that the Painted Petals stamp set is retiring...along with the wonderful Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper and the wonderful Spring Flowers Embossing Folder.  They go so well together.

Blooming Flowers in a Pot

We made this wonderful card at our April Rocky Mountain Stampers meeting.  This was Connie Ingram's card for the April Stamp Camp South.   Love it!!!!!

The background was made using a piece of So Saffron card stock and we smooched some white chalk ink with a piece of Saran Wrap on it for a mottled effect.  Connie always has such fun cards to make.

LOVE is in the Air - January TOUR DE FREAKS

Love is in the air.  February is closing in fast... so now is the time to get ready for Valentine's Day. 

 

Welcome to our January TOUR DE FREAKS. You may have come from Mary Brown's blog.   Mary  is such a great stamper.  Hope you enjoyed her projects.

My first card was made using two new stamp sets in our Occasions Catalog.  I wanted to make this a pastel Valentine.  I cut out the two largest fish and popped them up.  On the pink girl fish. I used crystal effects on her glasses.  On the boy fish, I used Red Glitter Glue on the heart and Crystal Effects.  I like how it turned out.
