Origami Butterfly – OWH Tutorial

By Yvonne

  • Stamp – Printworks “Thank You”
  • Border punch – EK Success “Abstract Flower Edger”
  • Ribbon – Heidi Grace
  • Pearl – KaiserCraft
  • Origami paper – Imported by Aitoh
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

I made this butterfly following a Origami Butterfly Tutorial I would highly recommend on Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps. As many of you may be aware, I’m a bit challenged by folding and often have to turn to my 13-year old son to help me out, as he is an Origami master! However, I’m very proud to report that I was able to fold this little guy all by myself! Added some faux stitching for good measure. Thanks for stopping by.

White-on-White Sympathy Card

By Yvonne

  • Stamp – from Flourishes “Orchids” set
  • Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Twenty”
  • Embossing folder – Cuttlebug “Kassie’s Brocade”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill and Wausau Bright White Cover
  • Trim – Basic Grey

This card is mostly layers of white with a little accent of light blue and the image is stamped in black ink. I edged the white die cut with pale blue chalk ink. I kept it simple and have a sympathy sentiment inside. This card is for a coworker who just lost his grandmother. Thank you for visiting.

OWH – Sketch #102

By Yvonne

  • Patterned paper – Background: Basic Grey “Scarlett’s Letter” (from a 6″ X 6″ pad); strips are from BoBunny papers that I had left over from other cards and didn’t even need to re-cut!
  • Flowers – Prima “Artful Collage Flowers”
  • Button – My Mind’s Eye

This is my first card of 2012. I used the current sketch from OWH Stars and Stamps: Sketch #102. It is nice to start off the year with a fun sketch to play with. Wishing you a very happy 2012!
