Stampin Up Happy card for Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Happy day!  I have a happy card today using the latest Atlantic Hearts Challenge sketch.  I used my go to Stampin Up products for a beautiful coordinating card.  I am not a demo and rarely even purchase Stampin Up first hand, therefore, I am sure most of this is old stock.  I also substituted since I don't own all the latest colors.  The card base is from my stash and most likely not SU.

Here is the sketch for this week:

I like to give my butterflies some life by only adhering adhesive to the center and manipulating the wings go stand up a little.  I placed the butterflies I stamped and punched along a die cut vine.

The angles are very unique and I was left with several angled scraps.  I used them and more butterflies to create several other cards. Look for the rest of the cards to be posted in a couple of days.

Ingredients:

Spellbinders Foliage Two

Karen Burniston Word Set 3-Holiday

Stampin Up Butterfly Kisses 6x6 papers

Stampin Up Papillon Potpouri stamps and coordinating butterfly punches

Stampin Up inks: Crushed Curry. Groovy Guava, Lemon Lime Twist

Stampin Up Opaque Adhesive backed gems

Prima Paper Pretty Mosaic Laughter card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello, it's time again for my Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge inspiration. This week I am playing with some new (to me) papers.  I fell in love with this paper stack I acquired second hand. I created an entire series of cards with it.  I hope to post soon.  

Here's the sketch:

I fussy cut a butterfly from a scrap of paper and inked the edges. I manipulated the wings and adhered to the card only in the center for a more 3D effect.

I stamped the sentiment in Perfect Plum and inked the edges.  I layered all the paper pieces on a soft plum card stock.

Ingredients:

Prima Pretty Mosaic Paper

Stampin Up Word Play sentiment

Stampin Up Perfect Plum ink

misc card stock

Colorbox Cat's Eye ink

pearls and brads

Thinking of you for Mother's Day

Hello dear readers, I waited until the day after to reveal the Mother's Day card I sent to my mom.  I thought the butterflies were perfect for this holiday.  However, this could be a great pick me up card for any occasion.  Any PIvot Card Die set can help you create a wow factor card easily. This die cut mechanism is just about the simplest to make, just line it up on your crease with one pass through your machine.  All this is left is to decorate.

I used the complimentary Elizabeth Craft Designs Butterfly Accessory dies to help accessorize the card. I used a flourish stamp to lightly add some interest to the shimmer cover stock I used for the base.  The thicker the base the better the pivot mechanism will endure.

I added bling to the antenna and the centers of the flowers.  I used more shimmer paper and pretty prints for additional decorative cuts.  I finished off the card with a die cut sentiment.

Products from the Dies R Us Store:

Elizabeth Craft Designs Butterfly Accessory dies

Pivot Card die

Karen Burniston Word dies

other ingredients:

My Mind's Eye Enlightened flourish stamp (yep the same stamp using bits and pieces)

Quick Quotes powderpuff chalking ink

shimmer papers

Creative Memories printed paper

glitter and misc card stock
