- Stamp – Crafty Individuals “Butterflies Collage Quad”
- Patterned paper – KaiserCraft “Hunt and Gather” 6-1/2″ paper pad
- Die cut – Memory Box “Amira Flouish”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Tissue tape – Tim Holtz “Nostalgia”
This is a fun card I made using elements that went together visually and that I really like. So this butterfly stamp features not only the insects themselves, but flourishes, text, postmarks and music. I chose the die cut since it emulates a butterfly and is a flourish also. And the Tim Holtz tissue tape just tied in with the rest. Thanks for checking in here!

- Stamps – The Cat’s Pajamas “Little Sprinkle,” Judikins “Flourish,” and sentiment stamp from Hero Arts’ “Live Life” set
- Patterned papers – Basic Grey Indie Bloom 6″ X 6″ collection
- Cardstock – Bazzill
We’re back from camping so I can post some of the cards that I made this past week. No Internet connection (or electricity!) there! I think I managed to keep most of the dust off of the cards and the squirrels were fairly scarce, so I don’t think there are an abundance of wildlife prints!
This card was inspired by Sketch #233 at Card Positioning Systems (CPS).

This is an interpretation of the current CPS sketch, #232. I changed the orientation of the sketch as it was presented to better feature the artwork. I colored the artwork with Copic Markers. The artwork is from Crafter’s Digital Art Center (CDAC), created by Sandi’s Samples. I just bought the Bo Bunny paper today at Stampin’ Cat and was pretty excited to use it with this! Thanks for visiting today.

Lots of cut paper on this one! I made this design up as I went and I think the patterned paper with the cut outs from the punch and die cuts went together well. This card is for the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps weekly challenge: Thinking of You. Thanks for visiting.

I made this card using the Clean and Simple Sketch #149, which is this week’s sketch there. I really like this sketch. The verticle and horizontal bands of pattern are really nice together, yet it is a simple design. The browns and pale greens are sort of soothing, almost Fall colors. Thanks for visiting.

I used the latest sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping this week: Clean & Simple Sketch #148. The sketch was pretty different for me with the circles and I really liked it. This is a favorite stamp of mine that I’ve had for a few years. I plan on adding this card to my Operation Write Home box to send off next week. Thank you for visiting.
