Believe in Butterflies

Friendship

Who doesn’t love butterflies?  I dare you to tell me you don’t…LOL.  If you’ve ever met me you know I am a talker!  So much that I am often referred to as a Social Butterfly.  I must admit it because I am.  This reason is why I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Elegant & Bitty Butterflies together.  One in Crist Cantaloupe and the other in Vellum daubed with Metallic Gold.  I added the rhinestone because I well, I just couldn’t help myself. =)

Friendship

The sentiment is also stamped with the Metallic Gold on Whisper White and punch with the Word Window punch.  whenever I use the Word Window punch you will see the Modern Label punch right along with it.  The pair go hand in hand like sugar is to bubblegum.

Mother’s Day Card with Spiral Flowers

3

Mother's Day

If you haven’t made your Mother’s Day cards this Rosette flower card is the easiest fastest card you can make!  It was so delightful to make it that I showed it to a friend at work and he asked if I could make him two!  I knew I could whip them out so fast, I agreed to make him the cards.

Mother's Day

I had some old flower tape lying around that I had received from a friend who was going to throw it away and I figured I’d use it someday and that someday came with this card.  I’m not a hoarder, but sometimes I keep things because they are practical and I will incorporate it into my craft.

I wrapped sucker sticks in the flower tape to make it look like stems.  If you don’t have any, just take some twigs from a tree in your neighbors yard…LOL.

Mother's Day

My only suggestion to anyone who hasn’t made their Mother’s Day cards… print this one out or forward it to the mom you had every intention of sending them a Mother’s Day card. =)  SHARE the love.

Was it Sent with Love?

Love

I first bought this paper (Sent With Love) when it was available on paper.  I never ever used it until I made this card.  I don't know why I didn't use it, but I busted out with it for this card challenge.  But don't fret, it is still available through My Digital Studio (MDS), which you can get a free 30 day trial here.  The Sent With Love Digital Download is also available in MDS.

Sketch Challenge

Sketch Challenge brought to you by Mojo Monday #313

Love

The two punch outs are not stamps… they are from one of the pages of the designer series paper.  I cut them all out and used them on the card which you too can use by printing them.

I have set  new post Stampin’ Up! convention goals.  The first is to enter as many sketch challenges as I possibly can… and the second is to grow my Circle of Pals, and third develop easy to do card classes for hostess’.  Here’s my first goal, a Sketch brought to you by Freshly Made Sketches.

Just in case you are wondering… I made the banner with the Modern Label punch and used the Hexagon punch to punch out the points.  So much easier than eye-balling it with paper snips (scissors).

Make Your Own Card with these Supplies:

Label Love Clear Stamp Set
Hexagon Punch
Artisian Label Punch
Modern Label Punch
Polka Dot Parade designer series paper
Large Rhinestones Basic Jewels
Anywhere Glue Sticks

Stampin’ Up! a King for a Day

0

In chess the King is only as good as his Queen… LoL.  You can check out the previous Queen card post here.  The stamp set is from the You Rule Spring Collection, which will debut tomorrow!  Yes, you are going to love it just as much as I do!  The other stamps say… Princess and You Rule!  I think it is my favorite… for now.

The card was made for my brother Reyes.  It’s Spanish for King, so this stamp is perfect for his birthday.  He was born on January 6th, which is the Three Kings Day also known as Epiphany or the 12th day of Christmas.  To many it marks the arrival of the magi (three kings) who were bearing gifts for baby Jesus.  That is why I don’t take down my Christmas decorations until January 6h… LoL… well, that and because it’s my all time FAVORITE holiday.

I’m not worried about my brother seeing his card before his birthday, since he doesn’t visit my blog… LoL.  But his wife does and she’s already seen the card… =)

Stampin’ Up in the Air with FMS #22

4

[pinit]As I head out the door to what I hope to be my last temporary duty assignment overseas (not Hawaii this time), I needed a card idea that was “out of my comfort zone”…so I chose colors I seldom use.  I put this birthday card together for the {Freshly Made} Sketches #22.  I enjoy using every bit of paper from my inventory, but I often find myself neglecting some of the prints I don’t know how to use.  I pulled out a print that I had not used before and whala.  Continue reading below to find out about how to get free stamp sets from me through my Mata-bout Paper Rewards.

MATA-BOUT TIP: Pearls don’t always have to be white or vanilla color… it’s easy to change the colors with the use of a colored sharpie. I wanted the pearl color to stand out in the center of the flowers. Rhinestones can also be colored in to add a little bit of bright bling to any project.  All supplies needed to duplicate any of my cards are available through my on-line store and you can browse through it 24 hours 7 days a week!

Memories Last a Lifetime (FMS #20)

10

FMS Princess Badge

This post is dedicated to Mrs. Lydia Deocampo.  Her husband, Ed aka “Honeyboy” went to Heaven on Jan. 6, 2012.  She has been feeling sad and lonely without her husband of more than 50 years.  Her daughter Gemma said, “My Papa was her memory; couch potato & “iron chef” partner; breakfast, lunch, and dinner date; medicine reminder; bill payer & organizer; Christmas stuff decorator, idol & fan; dishwasher; shopping, prayer, and church companion; and, best of all, her best friend and partner for more than 50 years!”

FMS #20

When I read her post I knew I had to make Mrs. Deocampo a special card that would let her know that she is thought of by many of us in her time of sorrow.  I had the perfect stamp and FMS #20 was the perfect sketch.  This is why I love my hobby… it lets people know that they are in the thoughts and prayers of others.

I hope that this card brings her just a little bit of sunshine and a smile to her beautiful face because she is held up high in prayer for peace and comfort.  Her sweetheart’s MEMORIES will live in her heart for an eternity and those same MEMORIES will be carried on by their children.  I met him years ago and he welcomed me into his loving home offering me his friendship, as I was visiting their daughter, Gemma, who served in the Air Force with me.

for supplies to make this MEMORIES card.
