More Butterflies

I was putting these stamps away today, after using using them at Stamp Club the other night,
and I thought I'd make just a few more cards before doing so.  Here is my set of 4.
Watercolor Wings.  Bold Butterfly Framelits.  Butterflies Thinlits.

Stamp Club projects August 2015

These Petite Cafe Gift Bags are bound to be a favorite!  I love to give cookies or other little sweets/treats to friends and family.  These will be extra-fabulous to use for the holidays!

The bags do NOT have a window in them.  We added the window by using an oval-shaped framelit to cut the area out and then we backed it with a piece of Window Sheet.  Now the treats will show through the window (when they get added).

We used the Stamp A Bag stamp set.  Here is another view...

We made this card using the Perfect Pennants stamp set and the Banners framelits. These are some of my favorites - I find that I reach for them all the time.  The flowers are from Petite Petals stamp set and are punched out with Petite Petals Punch.  So easy and so gorgeous! The DSP on this card is retired.  But you could use anything that suits your occasion (or your mood).  We used the Circle Framelits to create that great area behind the Banner.

Don't you just LOVE the Night of Navy, Crushed Curry and the Tangerine Tango?!? 


Our third project was this simple but beautiful Butterfly card:

Watercolor Wings is the stamp set, and the leaves come from Summer Silhouettes.
Colors on the butterfly are Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Memento Black.  The Butterfly is "built" by stamping 3 separate images (one at a time) to create the wings.  The body and antennae are added last.  The color combinations of this are ENDLESS.
Below, I've shown some pretty combinations, just to get you started...

Stamp Club projects July 2015

Latch Card was a favorite this month!

To make the basic latch card: Start with a piece of card stock 7 1/2" x 5 1/2". This is your base. Score and fold at 3 1/4". 

With base FOLDED, return card stock to Simply Scored with folded edge at left side...

and score 3 more times:  at 3 3/8", 3 1/2" and 3 5/8".  (Do not fold on these score lines.).

These score lines allow the card to be opened, when gently folded back to "unlatch" it from behind your focal point.  In this example, that's the zebra from Zoo Babies stamp set..
Add DSP, card stock, other stamped images, embellishments etc per your choice.
With small adjustments you can alter the look of a Latch Card greatly. Use your imagination!
Here is another one I made for a wedding card:

We also made this little lovely using the Circle of Spring stamp set and the coordinating Wonderful Wreath framelits:

The Hardwood background stamp really looks great - looks like a door or fence!

Lastly, we made a Birthday card using the Birthday Yay stamp set and the coordinating Handpicked Framelits :

 Probably my favorite part about this is the fantastic papers from Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack and of course some Sequin Trim (Bermuda Bay) to give it pizzazz!
