Pop Up Goes the Butterfly

Woo Hoo! My new SU! goodies are here! I was inspired by Twila's Butterflies in Flight card and since I just got my brand spankin' new Butterfly Punch, I decided to make my first spiral pop up card. I have been meaning to try this for ages, but never got around to it. So much to stamp, so little time. This was so quick and easy with the circle and butterfly punches.

Recipe: Flight of the Butterfly and All Holidays Stamp Set, Shimmery White Cardstock, Blush Blossom, Creamy Caramel, Tempting Turquoise, Bashful Blue cardstock and ink, Apricot Appeal ink, Sticky Strip, Glue dots, 1-1/4", 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" circle punches, Butterfly Punch

Going Green and Making the Most of My Scraps...

I made 4 cards tonight all designed around scrap pieces that I had laying on my craft table left over from other cards. I was fixin to throw the scraps away and clean up but then decided I should see what I could make out of them. 4 cards after a full day at work, that might actually be a record for me on a work night. Woo Hoo!

Here's a Sugar Coated Bday Card:

Recipe: Stamps- Cupcakes wheel, Crazy for Cupcakes; Paper- Lovely Lilac, Whisper White, Basic Black; Ink- Lovely Lilac, Basic Black; Scallop Circle Punch, Scallop Edge Punch; Markers: Pretty in Pink, Only Orange, So Saffron, Yoyo Yellow, Gable Green, Bashful Blue, Lavender Lace, Rose Red, Dimensionals, covered the entire background in Dazzling Diamonds and Tombow Multi Adhesive

Finally used my Flight of the Butterfly Stamp Set that I was dying to have but never even mounted. (I collect any set with butterflies!)

Recipe: Stamps- Flight of the Butterfly; Paper- Baja Breeze Cardstock, Bella Rose DSP, Whisper White Cardstock; Ink- Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Versamark; Baja Breeze Doublestitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, 2- Way Glue Pen, (misc. Rhinestone Stickers), stampin sponges.
