Birthday Butterflies
There have been a few birthdays lately in my family, so I need yet
another birthday card. This one was for someone who really likes pink. Can you
tell?
- Stamps: Papillion Potpourri, Beautiful Birthday
- Card Stock: Primrose Petals, Whisper White
- DSP: Primrose Petals
- Ink: Primrose Petals, Versamark
- Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Delicate Butterfly Punch, Glue Dots, Pearls
This card was quick and easy to put together, which is good, because I
was running out of time. I’m sure you’re thinking “why don’t you just use one
of your past Make and Take cards?” Well…I would, but by Mom, aunt, and sister
come to each Make and Take that I have. That means that they have all the same
cards too. So if I give a make and take card, it is very likely the recipient
will get two of the same cards when it’s for a family birthday. So that means I
have to make a unique card each time a family birthday comes along. Anyway…on
to the card!
I started off with a piece of Primrose Petals card stock cut at 5-1/2”
x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4”. I cut a piece of Primrose Petals polka dot DSP
2” x 5-1/2”. I stamped the greeting from Beautiful
Birthday onto the DSP in Versamark ink. I covered the stamped image with
Gold embossing powder, tapped off the excess, and heated it with my Heat Tool.
This was adhered onto a 2-1/4” x 5-1/2” piece of Whisper White card stock and
then this layer was added to the card front.
Now for the butterflies! I stamped two butterflies in one pattern and
one butterfly in another pattern from Papillion
Potpourri. I just love the fun different patterns for the butterflies in
this stamp set! I punched out the butterflies with the Delicate Butterfly punch
and adhered them onto the top portion of the card with Glue Dots. To add a
little bit of sparkle I added some pearls to the center of each butterfly.
Simple, and definitely pink, but it works! What do you think?

Forever and Always
Good morning! Today I have the fourth and final card from the June Make
and Take to share with you. This one featured the new Betsy’s Blossom stamp set
and the new Large Scallop Edgelit.
- Stamps: Betsy’s Blossoms, Loving Thoughts
- Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pool Party
- Ink: Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Midnight Muse
- Accessories: Large Scallop Edgelit, Delicate Designs embossing folders, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals
For the Crumb Cake card base I cut the card stock 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and
scored it at 4-1/4”. With these coordinating embossing folders and Edgelit you
want to cut the edge first and then emboss. So I cut the bottom of the card
front with the Large Scallop Edgelit then ran the card stock through the Big
Shot again in the Delicate Designs embossing folder.
Now that the bottom had a pretty detail the top needed something so I
stamped the blossom from Betsy’s Blossoms all over the top of the card front in
Crumb Cake ink. Next I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 1” x 5-1/2” and
stamped the greeting from Loving Thoughts on the right side of the strip in
Pool Party ink. I adhered this onto a 1-3/4” x 5-1/2” piece of Pool Party card
stock and then adhered the layer onto the card front.
I stamped the bird from Betsy’s Blossoms onto a scrap of Whisper White
card stock in Midnight Muse ink. I cut around the shape with Paper Snips and
adhered the bird to the left of the greeting with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Simple and easy yet pretty! I love these embossing folders and that
large scallop edge!
Well… I’m off to try to organize my craft room a little more so maybe I
can find something when I need it! I’ll make sure to share the result of my
efforts in the near future. Are you working on any organizing projects?

Banners and Stripes Birthday
Hello everyone! Today I’m going to share with you the third project
from the June Make and Take! Each month I make sure to include one masculine
card in the Make and Take projects. This helps give my guests ideas on how to
create the oh-so-difficult masculine card. I really is hard to create something
for a guy when you want to reach for ribbon, or rhinestones, or bright girly
colors like pink! So here is the card that we made:
- Stamps: Woodgrain, Memorable Moments
- Card Stock: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Whisper White, Gumball Green
- DSP: Midnight Muse
- Ink: Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Basic Gray
- Accessories: Bitty Banners Framelits, Labels Framelits, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Pierce Mat, Paper Piercer, Silver Brads
This card started off with a piece of Basic Gray card stock cut 5-1/2”
x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4”. I used my all-time favorite background stamp,
Woodgrain, with Basic Gray ink to add some pattern to the card base.
Next I cut a piece of Midnight Muse DSP 2” x 5-1/2” and adhered it onto
a 2-1/4” x 5-1/2” piece of Basic Black card stock. I stamped the label frame
from Memorable Moments onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Gumball
Green ink. I stamped the greeting from Memorable Moments inside the frame in
Midnight Muse card stock. Here is a little tip, when stamping the greeting like
this where it’s two individual stamps put both stamps onto the block at the
same time. That way you can line up the text so the bottom word is parallel
with the top word. Then you only have to worry about trying to get it straight
with the label once.
I cut out the stamped label with the Labels Frameilts in the Big Shot
and adhered it onto the striped DSP with a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut
a scrap of Gumball Green card stock with the large straight banner from the
Bitty Banners Framelits. I cut the banner in half with Paper Snips and adhered
the banner halves on either side of the label. Next I used my Stampin’ Pierce
Mat and Paper Piercer to pierce a hole at the end of each banner piece and added
a Silver Brad. Then I adhered this layer onto the card front.
I always seem to reach for blue or green when creating a masculine
card. Or some kind of neutral like Basic Gray or Crumb Cake. I find it harder
to make a masculine card from brighter colors. I don’t know why. I will have to
push myself out of my comfort zone next time I create a masculine card. What do
you struggle with the most when creating manly projects? Do you have any good
tips?

Raspberry Ripple and Bright Blossoms
Good morning! I have the second project from the June Make and Take to
share with you today! I wanted to make sure that I used all of the new In
Colors and showcased some of the new products in all of the projects so my
guests could get to see and use some of the new stuff! I really like this new
Floral District DSP! I wasn’t sure about it in the catalog picture, but after
seeing it in person I love it!
- Stamps: Bright Blossoms, Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Card stock: Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
- DSP: Floral District
- Ink: Primrose Petals
- Markers: Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green
- Accessories: Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Scallop Edge Border punch
To start off I cut a piece of Raspberry Ripple card stock 5-1/2” x
8-1/2” and scored it at 4-1/4” for my card base. I cut a piece of Whisper White
card stock 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” and used the Scallop Edge Border punch on both of
the 5-1/2” long sides. Then I cut one strip of Floral District DSP with the
blossoms 1-1/4” x 5-1/2” and two pieces of the other pattern 1” x 5-1/2”.
I adhered the strips onto the Whisper White card stock one next to the
other. I started off by adhering the middle strip in place and then added the
two on either side. This allows you to get it really close to being centered on
the card stock. After all my strips were
in place I adhered the layer onto the card front and wrapped a piece of
Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin ribbon around the card front and tied it into a
knot.
Next I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 2” x 2-1/2”. I inked up
the images from Bright Blossoms with the markers, breathed onto the stamp to
re-moisten the ink, and stamped the image onto the card stock. I stamped the
greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes just below the vase in Primrose Petals ink. I
adhered the stamped card stock onto a 2-1/4” x 2-3/4” piece of Raspberry Ripple
card stock and adhered this layer onto the card front with Stampin’
Dimensionals.
It’s bright, and girly, and fun! What’s your favorite new DSP?
