Butterfly series card #6

Number six is also quite pretty.  I need to make another set of these.  They would be a wonderful gift set.

Butterfly series card #5

This one is my favorite.  I love the rich red against the black background.  Another triple layered butterfly for the embellishment.

Butterfly series card #4

Card number 4.  I layered 3 of the butterflies to make the embellishment.

Butterfly series card #3

Card number three in the butterfly series.  These cards were given away at our card swap.  Luckily, I have more of the mat stack so I can make more of them.  The inside was also cut with the top note die and stamped "Thinking of You" for the swap theme.

Butterfly series card #2

Butterfly card #2.  Same paper stack and embellishments as the last card.  I also used a small flat backed pearl on the butterfly center.

Butterfly card series

I recently purchased the Stampin Up top note die.  I love it!  I used it for a series of butterfly cards.  The paper is the DCWV Mariposa mat stack.  I could not decide how to use this paper, but once I received the top note die, I tried it with the paper and love the way the series turned out!  The card background is black, so that is why it is so hard to see.  I tied a bow with black ribbon for interest.  The butterflies are a Stampin Up embosslit (cuts and embosses in one step).  Super simple, but it looks really nice IRL.

Graduation card

It has been too long since I have posted.  I made this card for the daughter of a dear friend that graduated high school this year.  I scraplifted the idea from pinterest.  I wish I could give credit to the original pinner, but I do not have the reference now.  I used the congratulations embossing folder with my Cuttlebug for the background.  I welded and cut the monogram letters with my Cricut (using my gypsy to weld).  I cut an extra "S" and glued it on top of the monogram, using the school colors.  The cap was also a Cricut cut, but it has been too long and I cannot remember which cartridge was used.  I believe the letters were cut with the Art Philosophy cartridge.
