Today's first card uses Birthday Bash designer paper and Balloon Bash stamp set. The tag was made using the new Ornate Tag Topper punch. Let me say, I am so glad SU came out with all these tag punches (2 are in the annual catalog) and now this one. They aren't just for tags, as you can see.
My second card was snap to make. My inspiration came directly out of the Occasions catalog but I modified it a bit. Using Birthday Bash paper and our new Bow punch, these little bows are put together with mini glue dots. This card is great for a guy or a gal... Bow ties anyone?
This card is made with Naturals card stock and the new Butterfly Basics stamp set. The matching Butterfly Thinlets are a perfect addition to this card. I wanted an "organic" feel, so I stamped the honeycomb along the bottom and stamped the fern in Mossy Meadow and the flowers in Rose Red. I didn't want the entire stem of the flower to show beyond the bottom of the butterfly, so I inked the stamp up, then placed a post it note directly on the stamp to cover the stem, and stamped down firmly. The butterfly is placed strategically so that it covers the place where the stamped image ends.
I hope you enjoyed my post today. If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, contact me today and I'll be happy to send you a catalog. Enjoy your day and please leave me a comment!
Happy New Year!
