Happy Birthday Gorgeous Simple Stamping

Hello and welcome back! I have a couple more simple stamping cards to share using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. These feature only stamps, ink and cardstock along with some patterned paper. 

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Cards

Hello and welcome back! Today I'm sharing three similar cards made using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. Stampin' Up has been featuring simple stamping cards this year, and this month's theme is birthday cards using only stamps, ink, cardstock and patterned paper. I made three versions of the card: one for a new crafter, one stepped up a bit for the casual crafter and one fancy one for the avid crafter. 

TGIFC200-Bunches of Butterflies

Hello and welcome back! It's time for this week's theme challenge featuring bunches of butterflies.

I decided to feature another card using the Needle & Thread Bundle, which is one of my favorites from the current Stampin' Up Occasions Catalog. the butterfly patterned paper, the small trio butterfly stamp and the stitched butterfly stamp which coordinates with the Butterfly Duet Punch. The card base is Petal Pink Cardstock, and I stamped the trio butterfly in Petal Pink ink. I wrapped the card with the Petal Pink shimmer ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack. I used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies to cut a large frame from the Needlepoint Nook 12 X 12 Designer Series Paper. The stitched rectangles go perfectly with this suite! I also cut two layers of the frame from Whisper White Thick Cardstock, and glued all three together. Then, I adhered it to the card base. I stamped the greeting in Night of Navy ink onto more Whisper White Thick Cardstock, and cut it out with the label shape. It's adhered over the ribbon and the rectangle with Stampin' Dimensionals.
