Butterflies a Plenty




Today is my last post featuring the Butterfly Bundle # 135311(clear)
 which you can order here by clicking here BUNDLE
I decided on using the punch a little differently on this card.  I punched the 3 small butterflies on the Gingham Garden DSP #129310 and used the Island Indgo layer as the peek-a-boo backing. 
The lager butterfly, Elegant Butterfly #127526, was punched and I then added a small butterfly to its center and finished it off by adding Basic Rhinestone Jewels down the center.

I added a doilie from Delicate Doilies Sizzlits #126999 layering it with a scallop and a sentiment from Blessings from Heaven #123052.
 I also added a liner to the envelope using the Envelope die. I just love the pizzazz  lining the envie gives.
I hope you enjoyed the week of BUTTERFLIES.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me @ bernadettebliss@gmail.com.
Have a wonderful and restful weekend.
Stay CRAFTY!

A Walk Down Memory Lane


Today I thought I would post some older cards that I created using Papillon Potpourri and using the larger butterfly punch, Elegant Butterfly 127526. At $15.95 it would be a great addition to the Butterfly Bundle.

The above card was inspired by a card that was in the 2012-2013 annual catalog. I really love each and everyone of the butterfly images in this set.






This card was my FIRST make and take after I became a demonstrator. 
It is a 3X3 and so simple to put together.

Well I hope you enjoyed a walk down memory lane today and will be inspired to put your "wings to flight" if you have ordered this Bundle.

Stay CRAFTY!

Butterfly #3 and MOJO310


Today's card is not only featuring some more of those sweet butterfly's
 available from the Butterfly Bundle #135311(clear),
 but the MOJO 310 sketch for the week.

I used one of my favorite SU papers, Eastern Elegance 130131.  I seem always to be drawn to the beautiful Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.  I just recently received the Blessings from Heaven #123052 set that includes 6 uplifting sentiments.  I used one of the Ovals Collection dies for the sentiment and finished it off with three bitty butterflies and pearl accents.

Butterflies #2



 



 I'm posting another card today using Papillon Potpourri and the Bitty Butterfly that is part of the bundle offer that I mentioned yesterday. 

This is headed out today to my next door neighbor who was just in the hospital. She is such a sweetheart and I know she will love the colors in this card.

I also used the new Thinlits Circle Card #133480 and completed the set with a matching envelope using the new Envelope Punch Board #133774.
All I can say, I'm really loving these two new products from SU.

Everything is Coming Up Butterflies #1

This week I plan on showing sample cards using the Petite Butterfly Punch that is available bundled with the Papillion Potpourri stamp set until September 30th.

I have used this particular set quite a bit since I bought it in July of last year.  Butterflys never go out of style and are such a pretty addition on a card.

I chose the Note Cards and Envelopes Set (131527) feeling 
it worked well as a gift card. 


Stamping and punching 2 of the butterflys in the set, I layered them with a glue dot to give dimension, then placed them randomly on the stamped image from Chalk Talk 130634. I completed the set by cutting a liner for the envelope with the Framelits- Envelope Liner 132172.
