Butterfly Birthday

By Yvonne

- Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz – “Flutter”
- Flourishes LLC – “Botanical Bookplates”
Embossing folder – Sizzix/Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades “Botanical”
Graphic 45 – Floral Shoppe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – “Indigo Lilies”
Die – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Lacey Ovals”
Pearls – KaiserCraft – Hot Pink
Cardstock – Bazzill

I love floral images and butterflies, so this card was a joy to make. The floral paper is gorgeous and comes from an amazing collection from Graphic 45. Combining this paper with the new bling cardstock embossed with the new (to me) botanical embossing folder made for some tasty layers. I colored the butterflies with Distress inks using Ranger’s Detail Blending Tools that allowed me to blend the inks in smaller areas. I fussy-cut the butterflies to retain the antennae and popped them up with dimensional adhesive. I scattered a few pink pearls among the butterflies to tie the colors together. Thanks for visiting.

Cherry Blossom Birthday

By Yvonne

Stamp – Avery Elle “Loads of Wishes”
Patterned papers – Graphic 45 “Birdsong” collection (8 X 8″ paper pad)
Die – Spellbinders “Lacey Circles”
Sequins – Doodlebug Designs
Cardstock – Bazzill

I created this card for a friend’s birthday recently. Since she has a springtime birthday and was born in Japan, I thought cherry blossoms were very fitting. These papers from Graphic 45 are so pretty. I didn’t follow a specific sketch for this, although I’m sure there is one out there like it! I have not been good at posting lately (Sorry, Mom!), but I’ll try to catch up and post more!

Thanks for visiting!

Beanstalk Birthday Wishes

By Yvonne

Patterned papers –
- Graphic 45 “An Eerie Tale” 8 X 8″ pad
- My Mind’s Eye “Collectable: Beautiful”
Stamp – from Hero Arts “Messages with Flourish” set
Die – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Twenty”
Stickers – Hot Off The Press Dazzles “Autum Splendor”
Pearls and Gems – Hero Arts “Earth Mixed Accents”
Cardstock – Bazzill and Paper Accents

I’ve got Jack and the Beanstalk featured for this card. This Graphic 45 paper collection is so pretty and it includes a number of Eerie Tales with sort of a Halloween theme. The copper colored stickers work nicely with the oranges in the papers. I’ve had those stickers in my stash for quite some time as well as the little blingy bits! I think this fits the “It’s the Most Colorful Time of the Year” challenge at Shopping Our Stash, since I used a number of Fall colors, plus green. Thanks for visiting today.
