Butterfly and Fabulous Friend

It's almost time to watch for Butterflies in the yard so I'm in the mood to punch some butterfly cards it seems.
This card uses Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight and White Card Stock  Another simple card with only some ribbon in Pear Pizzazz and a couple butterflies as accents.
I used the Beautiful Butterflies Embosslits for the little guy and the Butterfly Punch for the larger one.  The scalloped oval with the Oval All Stamp Set Sentiment of Fabulous Friend.
The Embossing Folder used is Elegant Lines.
Card was cased from Sue Davis, NH.

FOR YOU

Simple cards are fun to do sometimes.  Here is one using the SALE-A-Brations stamp set called Sprinkled Expressions.  I used it as a Congratulations card and have also used this as a Just for You card.  I suggest Occasional Quotes and Congratulations stamp sets if you have them as both are retired now.  However any sentiment will do.  I was surprised how easy it was to stamp the sentiment after  I had run my Whisper White through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Of course I forgot to stamp it first so this was a good test.  Thankfully it worked!! 
My Ink, Ribbon and Card Stock are Island Indigo.  I added a Pearl for good measure.  :-)

JUST FOR YOU CARD

Another cased card from the Stampin' Up Convention in Columbus, Ohio that I attended in February.  Here is a cheerful, Just for You greeting from the OVAL ALL stamp set.  I used Daffodil Delight (a new favorite), Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White on this card along with Wild Wasabi and Whisper White Ink.  I stamped the blossom with White Craft Ink and then embossed with white embossing powder and the heat gun.  I used the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Up Marker for the leaves.  The center of the flower is Dry Embossed with the Square Latttice Folder and the outside of the Whisper White with the Framed Tulip Folder.  I used Stampin' UP's wide Daffodil stripped ribbon and tucked behind the Whisper White.  Also used the medium oval and scalloped punch plus the Blossom Bunch to pop out the flower.

JUST HELLO

I think Black and White is always elegant and then add a little sunshine with Daffodil Delight and a cute card.  This is cased from a card received during a swap at the Regional Stampin' Up Convention in Columbus, Ohio.  A simple but nice way to remember someone.

Hello from the Elementary Elegance from the SALE-A-Bration Mini and Mixed Bunch from the Occasions Mini.  The only ink used is Basic Black  Any Embossing Folder for the background.  Card Stock includes Basic Black, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight.  Only embellishment is a little ribbon for a tie.  Punches:  Blossom, 3/4" and 1" Circle

Reitred Set

This is an old set from Stampin' Up last year called Bold Blossoms and I may have shown this card before but it re-surfaced so I decided to add it today.

Stamp Set:  Bold Blossomss; Inks and Card Stock: Rose Red, Old Olive, Soft Suede and Baja Breeze
Scallop Edge Border Punch and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Punch were used.  Plus lots of Pearls and Whisper White Grograin Ribbon.

GIFT GIVERS

Happy St. Patty's Day with this Shaker Card using Gift Givers.  Made this in Card Club at Denise Foor's, SU Senior Supervisor.

Mother's Day Cheery Card

Hi on a bright and cheery March Day.  A card for our Mom's today.  Of course you can always change it out and do for anyone.

Often I leave my inside blank because I think people like to write a personal note.
