Aviary

I love this set and I love marina mist. Put them together and look what you get. I embossed the background with elegant bouquet. Then I stamped and cut out the bird cages, attaching them with dimensionals. I added a rhinestone to the bottom of each cage and a little piece of marina ribbon to the top with a glue dot. I cut some leaves out of old olive and the little leaves die using my Big Shot. I punched some flowers with the flower from itty bitty shapes punches. I added a pearl to each flower. The words are from petite pairs. Are you using your Big Shot? What are you waiting for???

Beautiful Butterflies Die

Look what I found to make my butterfly antenna. It is an old heart shaped paper clip! I cut it in half, flipped the pieces around and voila! Look closely above the card and you will see one uncut. I bet you have these in with your supplies someplace!! The rest of the card was a snap to put together. I stamped the flower stamp in pear pizzazz then colored over the flowers with a marina mist marker. I did this twice on the butterfly.

On The Grow

This one is beautiful! I used crumb cake, marina mist, and very vanilla. The striped ribbon and flower brad are a quick touch. I also embossed the vanilla with the elegant bouquet folder and rounded all the corners. The frame is the large scallop from the scallop circle #2 die. I also ran it through the dotted embossing folder. I punched the middle out using a post it note and 21/2 circle punch to cut out the center. I used dimensionals to hold it on. Then I punched the flowers out with that same punch so I could drop it into place. I stamped the flowers with black staz-on. I used the aqua painter and the marina mist and old olive classic pads for the flowers, the jar is bashful blue then I painted a crumb cake shadow around everything. I also put crystal effects over the jar to make it look like glass.

Black and White Butterflies

I am still playing with my new Big Shot die called Beautiful Butterflies. This card took minutes to make. I backed it with black so I could write in it (of course I laid it on black for the picture- sorry). I trimmed the white base to fit on the black then I embossed it with the elegant bouquet folder. I cut out the two smallest butterflies and embossed the white one with the dotted folder. I attached them together and bent their wings around a pencil slightly. They are attached to the card with a dimensional. I used Curvy Verses and some rhinestones to finish it.

Filled With Love

I made this pretty card using the new Filled With Love set (availabe Jan. 4th), my Big Shot, the elegant bouquet embossing folder, and the scallop heart die. I also used the scallop lace punch, some red satin ribbon, and the new red glitter paper which I punched with the triple heart punch. The big hearts are embossed with red craft ink and clear embossing powder then punched out with the big heart punch. Don't you love how the scallop heart die and the big heart punch fit perfectly together? The words are embossed in white craft ink and white powder.
