Butterfly Beauties

I had die cut a bunch of butterflies from the Butterfly Beauties Dies awhile ago using the Joyous Noel glimmer paper from the Holiday catalog.  These are some of the cards I put together with them...

The labels are punched with the Darling Label from the punch box and I used the Beauty Abounds stamp set for the sentiment and background stamping.  The background stamping was done with Merry Merlot and Basic Gray ink that was stamped off on scrap paper to lighten the images.

Supplies:

Beauty Abounds

Basic Gray, Merry Merlot ink

Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray card stock

3/16" braided linen trim

Darling label punch

Joyous Noel glimmer paper

Pressed Petals Thanks

I love the patterns in the Pressed Petals specialty designer series paper pack.  For these cards, I used two different patterns from it on each card matting them both on some Merry Merlot card stock.

The sentiment is from the Beauty Abounds stamp set and is punched out with the Classic label punch.  There is also some retired Merry Merlot ribbon wrapped around the first matted layer of designer series paper.

Deepest Sympathy

I put together a few sympathy cards using the retired Graceful Glass designer vellum recently and paired it with the Painted Glass stamp set and retired Note Tag punch.  

After I colored the Graceful Glass designer vellum with Stampin'' Blends, I mounted it onto some Soft Seafoam card stock before adding it to the Very Vanilla card base.  

The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink and I added an image from the same stamp set that was stamped off on scrap paper to lighten it up a little bit.

A Good Man

A little late in posting this one, but it would work well for other occasions too!  

I started with the A Good Man stamp set using that for my image and the sentiment at the bottom.  Next, I colored the image in with some Stampin' Blends before mounting it on a piece of Basic Black card stock.

The Happy Father's Day comes from the Well Said stamp set and I also added some Come Sail Away designer series paper.

June Paper Pumpkin Layout

One final alternative idea for the June Paper Pumpkin kit as we start off July!  This one is a scrapbook page on which I used several of the small embellishments and some of the envelopes cut down along with extra card stock.

The base is Whisper White and the photo mats are Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Old Olive.
