New England Stamper

Butterfly Color Challenge

Today's Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoast is to create a white card with one other color.  For a November day in New England, it was unseasonably hot - 70 degrees!  So, I ditched the Fall and Winter colors in favor of a summery color - hot pink.

I used my Big Shot to dry emboss the background and die cut both butterflies.  The card came together so quickly and could easily be replicated with other color schemes, depending on what you have lying around on your craft table.

I have a busy week ahead preparing for a visit from my mum, but I'll try my best to get into my stamp room and make a few things to share.

Thanks for visiting!

Supplies:

• Stamps: Boho Backgrounds
• Paper: Vintage Cream, Melon Mambo, Raspberry Tart d/p
• Ink: Chocolate Chip
• Accessories: pin
• Tools: Big Shot, SU Butterflies die, Swiss dots embossing folder, modern label punch

Top Note Quilt Cards

I love making these Top Note Quilt cards.  It's not a new idea, but they are so much fun, I just had to share.  And they are such a great way to use up designer paper scraps. 

I made this card today using Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper from the new 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalog.  Scroll down to the end of the post for more samples.

This is how you make them: 

Here are a couple more examples.  The first is made with Bella Bleu designer paper and Kraft cardstock that I ran through a Texturz plate.  The second is a club card we made in May with the now retired Bella Rose paper.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Have a wonderful weekend!
