Butterfly Box

I made this box for my Niece's graduation.  I used papers from the Authentique Journey 6x6 paper pad, cutting pieces to fit.  The Butterfly is one of the DL113 Small Exotic Butterfly dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The sentiment is the 9013 stamp from SweetStamps.com.  The swirl is part of the DL151 Victorian Romance Flourish die from CLD.  I added some white self adhesive pearls from Kaiser Craft and added some glimmer to the butterfly using Fairy Dust Creative Inspiration Paints.

For this card I used the LR0212 Anja's Rose Border from Marianne's Creatables to make the border on the card.  The image is the 7041 Triple Roses from SweetStamps.com.  I colored the roses with Copic markers and added Tutu Pink Creative Inspirations paint to the roses.  The flowered layer on the front was made using the DL 193 Horizon Coved Rectangle Mega Doily from Cheery Lynn Designs and paper from the 6x6 Authentique Delightful paper pack.  To add a little color to the front of the card I used a course pouncer and Amaryllis Shades Dye ink.  I hand cut the Roses and used foam dots to attach it to the flowered layer, added some pink shiny ric-rac and attached it to the card.

On the inside of the card I used some pink paper from the Delightful paper pack and more of the ric-rac.  The stamp is the 9046 Vertical Happy Mother's Day from SweetStamps.com.

Easter Basket

For this card I started with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of white card stock and used one of the newly released stamps from SweetStamps.com the 5001 Three Stripes Border and Nassau Blue Shades Dye Ink to create the striped background, then layered this to a piece of blue card stock.  The Bunny and Chick border B171 the DL214 Spring Basket #1 and the B126 Grass Border are from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I cut the basket once in brown and again in blue (for this one I carefully took the paper out of the die so the pieces would stay in place then layered the brown basket on top of it).  For the border I layered a lighter blue paper behind the border to accent the bunnies and chicks.  I flocked the Bunny using a Quickie Glue pen to adhere the flock.  The eggs were stamped using the 2011 Striped Egg in Nassau Blue ink on paper from the Journey Authentique 6x6 paper pack and hand cut.

I added some Sugar Sand to the stripes on the eggs using the Quickie Glue pen to adhere the Sugar Sand.  Foam dots were used to attach the the eggs and bunny.  For the inside I stamped 2017 Pop Up Bunny with Brownie Shades Dye ink and stamped 2008 Eggs-stra Special Easter in Nassau Blue ink.

For the second card I added the DL191 Celtic Chain Mega Doily and the DL112 Mini Exotic Butterfly & DL 112A Angel Wings from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The plaid background is the

5001 Three Stripes Border.

Welcome Spring

All the papers for this card are from the Authentique Gathering 6x6 paper pack.  I started with the orange patterned piece, cut a border from the polka dot paper and used All Purpose Spray Adhesive to attach it to the card.  The oval was die cut using the Nellie's Multi Frame MFD007 and for the small oval I used the Nellie's Oval 3 Multi Frame MFD013.  For the folded corner I attached a piece of the polka dot paper to the backside of the card folding it over twice so the point is folded under.  Before adhering this layer to the front of the card I attached the brown side of the double sided ribbon, then tied another piece of ribbon around the first piece with the blue side showing.  I used a piece of the same cream patterned paper as the oval to make the corner of the card and added strips of Latte self adhesive pearls from Kaiser Craft.  I also used the same pearls around the small oval.  The image and sentiment are both from SweetStamps.com, the 3039 Blue Bells were stamped on cream card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored using Creative Inspirations paints, I mixed a little Turquoise, Sage and Fairy Dust together and used it to color the petals of the flowers, the centers were colored with Burnt Clay and then Raw Sienna of the top of that, the center of the flowers are colored with Chocolate and the leaves were colored using Sage.   The 9134 Welcome Spring was stamped using Brownie Shades Dye ink.  I used foam dots behind both of the ovals to pop them up from the card.
