This card is a CASE of Deb's beautiful card seen here. I loved everything about it.
The pretty antique frame around this card is embossed from the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder. It's hard to see here, but it is sponged with some Crumb Cake ink to age it up a bit.
The frame is paired up with this raspberry twig image from the Clearly for You stamp set. I was lucky enough to grow up around blackberry bushes as a child and this reminds me of them.
For my card, I switched out the butterfly image and used Rik Rak instead of ribbon. I love the simplicity of this card!

I got together with a girlfriend a few months ago and we made an Altered Composition Book. I got a little over eager and bought about 30 of these comp books. Will I ever make 30??? It may take 30 years, but either way, they were $.20 each and I couldn't resist.
I can't remember if I shared my first book with you guys, but this one is much improved. I added quite a few more embellies. This paper is from my Pre-SU days and was just sitting in my quite large patterned paper stash gathering dust. It's beautiful and just so girly.
The butterflies seemed like a natural addition. The large butterfly for the focal point is the Beautiful Butterflies Die. I cut 3 different sizes and layered them. The little tiny butterflies are from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits. Both are available through Stampin Up.
For the front and back cover, I just traced an outline of the comp book and cut them out. The binding is cut about 4 inches and added over the other papers. I also cover the inside front cover. You will definitely want to use a heavy adhesive for this. I used Sticky Strip, but a large adhesive gun would make this job a lot easier...and quicker.
These take some time to make, but are so worth it. They could be a fabulous inexpensive holiday gift. If you try one, be sure to leave me a link....I'd love to see your design.
TFL!

One of my girlfriends was hosting her first Thanksgiving Dinner this year. I know how that goes...you're nervous, excited and frantic all at the same time. I've hosted plenty of my own dinners and I feel this way every time.
Imagine how surprised I was, when I answered the phone on Saturday to my friend's husband. Unlike my husband, he is not accustomed to making his own cards, so he wanted me to make one for her.
I just happened to be perusing the new mini (which we demos get an early peek at) and saw this card. I love Black & White. I've done it quite a few times here on my blog. It's classic, it's elegant...it's perfect. I sure hope she liked it ;)

I had seen this card last year by Pam Varnell and had saved it in a To-Do file. When our new Summer Mini came out and I saw the Pedaling Past stamp set, I knew I had to recreate it.
I LOVE this stamp set. It gives me visions of relaxing bike rides along the beach or down a southern lane of tall willow trees. How nice would that be???
The stamp set was paired with the Thoroughly Modern DSP, which is one of my all time favorite paper packs. The colors and prints are all great. There's not a bad one in the bunch ;)
Hopefully this card takes you to a special place...it does for me. Thanks for stopping by!

Are these butterflies precious or what? Beautiful Wings is a die that's currently available in the Occasions Mini. The die has 4 different size butterflies and each butterfly is embossed differently.
I drew inspiration from this card. I changed it up a bit, but kept a similar layout. The DSP is from Sweet Pea. The other side of this sheet has a beautiful Butterfly Print. I'm sure you'll see it in an upcoming post ;) I sponged the edges of the sentiment and the butterflies with Soft Suede Ink. This is a great color choice for a vintage stain look. The butterflies were adhered with Mini Glue Dots and the wings were lifted for a little dimension.
I love the colors on this card...hope you do too ;) TFL!
