Bold Butterfly

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we our theme is FLY AWAY, so we are featuring cards with birds and butterflies.

I incorporated new and old in my card that features a beautiful BUTTERFLY.

I found a fun new color combination using the new In Color DAPPER DENIM with WATERMELON WONDER.  As you can see I also added in a bit of bling by using Silver Glimmer paper for the swirls.  I can tell you right now that the new SWIRLY BIRD BUNDLE is a MUST HAVE!!! This swirly die cut is TOO.MUCH.FUN.

The Dapper Denim background is sponged on with areas darker and lighter for a unique look.  The silver swirl and sequins are gorgeous with these bold colors.

The sentiment in black and white pops against all the colors and gives a bold look.  I used words from the May My Paper Pumpkin kit.  This one had lots of useful sentiments that are perfect for cutting out like this.

I also embellished the inside of the card.  I used a piece of the polka dot background along the bottom.  It was an extra scrap that was put to good use!  The butterflies are stamped off to be lighter so the sentiment in Dapper Denim really stands out.

Now, let’s get to the good stuff, the supply list!

Peekaboo Peach Sunburst

I have a super fun card to share today combining a couple of my current favorite products, SWIRLY BIRD and the SUNBURST THINLIT.



This card just makes me HAPPY!  I love the cloud pattern from the SHINE ON DSP.  I just got this specialty designer paper and now I'm wishing I'd bought it much sooner!  It's so fun to use, the patterns are gorgeous!  This cloud paper is my favorite, I could use a whole pack of just it!



I think that I've found a new favorite color combo when making this card.....POOL PARTY and the new PEEKABOO PEACH In color.  Aren't these just fantastic together??  The kraft cardstock works well with both colors too.  And the little touch of silver with the clouds and sequins makes this card perfect in my eyes!



I used the SUNBURST THINLIT cut down to make a sun shape with one of the swirly stamps from SWIRLY BIRD in the center.  I went a little overboard with the small swirly stamp and created a background on the Pool Party card base.  I peppered some small stars on there as well from BALLOON CELEBRATION.  But the icing on the cake for me is the sentiment from SUNBURST SAYINGS.  I love the contrast of the white embossing on black cardstock against all the lighter colors.

As you can tell, I am having lots of fun with all the NEW goodies I just got in my New Catalog pre-order.  In fact, my card set for the MAY MINI SESSION from Create with Connie and Mary is complete and written up......I can't wait for you to see it!  I have lots more to come to be sure to check back for the sneak peek I have coming up for the May Mini Session.

Wonderful Mother

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week we are celebrating the wonderful women in our lives in honor of Mother's Day.



I've actually got NEW PRODUCTS to share with you today for my card!  I used a new bundle that includes a stamp set called SWIRLY BIRD and SWIRLY SCRIBBLES THINLITS.



I can see this stamp set being a new favorite!  It's got wonderful swirly flowers and all sorts of bits and pieces to create all sorts of things!  For this card, I didn't use the stamp set as much, I focused more on the coordinating SWIRLY SCRIBBLES THINLITS.



The flower is created from two die cuts done with the new In Color PEEKABOO PEACH.  I think it looks amazing against the watercolor background made with DAPPER DENIM.  It's a gorgeous new shade of blue that will be lovely for watercolor wash and many other things.



I added a sentiment in bold black and white from PICTURE PERFECT.  I think it's a wonderful greeting for a Mother's Day card!  There's also a couple pops of color with the leaves in EMERALD ENVY and the splotches in DAPPER DENIM.  And as always I put a couple of sequins on, had to have those!  So what do think of this little sneak peek??  Are you ready for more?  Well, the MAY MINI SESSION from Create with Connie and Mary is all about NEW PRODUCTS!  Yep, we are working hard to bring you the latest and greatest.
