Welcome!

Another easy card that beginning card makers will love. Making this card a beginner will know that they too can make beautiful cards as many say, “Oh I couldn’t ever make that”.  I am using parts of three different stamp sets; Postcard Pals from the Annual Catalog, Humming Along and Butterfly Gala from the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog available for ordering January 3, 2019. The Botanical Butterfly DSP  is  from the upcoming 2019  Sale-A-Brations catalog ( free with a $50 order) to create my card this week.

The sketch layout for this card is from Sunday Stamps.  It is a great layout.

The card base is Balmy Blue, cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″.  A panel of Pear Pizzazz ( 5″ x 3-3/4″ is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue.  A  small panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (Sale-a-bration item available Jan 3) pack  is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue.  A length of Whisper White Twine is wrapped it and tied in a bow.  This is then popped on the Pear Pizzazz panel using Stamping Dimensionals.  The layered panel was adhered to the Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

The decorative mat for the butterfly is cut using the Beautiful  Layers Thinlits Dies on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  The butterfly is fussy cut from one of the panels in the Botanical Butterfly DSP pack.  They are adhered to the black and white check panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Liquid Glue and Glue Dots.  Two Sequins from the Iridescent  Sequin Assortment is adhered to the right corner using a drop of Liquid Glue.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has a Basic Black mat.  The butterfly images were stamped using Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue ink.

You can see the supplies used for creating this card at the bottom of the post along with the card cuts.

Thank you for stopping by today.  My wish as always is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
