Butterfly Mania for SUOC #70
This week for the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge Blog we are featuring butterfly mania! The challenge is to create a card using the butterfly as your main theme.
SUOC #70 – Butterfly Mania
Here is my card featuring the Butterfly Mania theme for this challenge with Stampin' Up! Only Challenges. I started with a base of Very Vanilla then I used Raspberry Ribble to stamp the background from the Everything Eleanor stamp set. The second element I stamped using Primrow Petals which I cut out using the Apothocary Framelits. For the butterfly, I used the Beautiful Butterfly die with Rasberry Ripple card stock then embossed using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder finalizing the butterfly by adding an embellishment of Pearl Jewels. The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set.

SUOC #69 – Anything Sizzixs
Petite Purse Die
My Petite Purse is created using the Sizzix Petite Purse Die and I used card stock in one of my favorite colors, Calypso Coral, which I'm excited is going to become one of our Core Colors announced with the Color Refresh by Stampin' Up! I opted to keep my Petite Purse simple focusing on simplicity. I created a small rosette using a scallop punch which I cute into a spiral then curled the edges into the circular design creating a rosette. I placed a pearl on the inside to add some "hidden" interest. I used the Bird Builder punch for the leaf which is punched from Lucky Limeade. Finally, I placed the pearls along the edge of the purse cover for an added touch of elegance.

PCCCS #38 Card Sketch: Cuddles & Kisses
Here we are with another installment of the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38 featuring the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set. As an adoptive mom, I just love this stamp set. It comes close to my heart and means so much.
Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38
Cuddles & Kisses
While looking through my stamp sets and trying to decide how I wanted to start with this card using the card sketch I was immediately drawn to the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set along with Baja Breeze. I'm sad to see that Baja Breeze is retiring especially as I love the tone of Baja Breeze next to Very Vanilla cardstock.
The base of the card starts with the Baja Breeze card stock layered with Very Vanilla card stock embossed using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder which I spritzed with Baja Breeze using the Color Spritzer Tool. Then I stamped the adoption sentiment with the Baja Breeze onto Very Vanilla card stock and used the Labels Collection Framelit to cut out the sentiment which was layered on a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock also cut out using the Labels Collection Framelit. To accent the Baja Breeze Labels background, I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack with the Paper Piercing tool to create texture.
One of my favorite parts of this card is the embellishment I created using the That's the Ticket Stamp Set "precious baby" stamp which was stamped twice and then punched out using the Ticket Punch. I then stacked and used the whale shaped Elements Cute Clips (one of my favorites!!!) then attached it to the card. Finally, I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L for the final background element with Very Vanilla card stock.
So, I hope you enjoy this card as I know I'll be holding it close to my heart especially as my husband and I wait for a placement on Adoption #2.

PCCCS #32 – Best of Birthdays
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me!
Yes, today is my Birthday! And, I just love the Best of Birthdays stamp set.
For this weeks Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch I challenge the Design Team to create Birthday Themed cards using the card sketch. I have to say that I just love all the birthday cards. I've also had fun the past few days creating Birthday Themed cards.
S
o, in honor of my Birthday, here is my design team submission for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch featuring the Best of Birthdays stamp set!
The Happy Birthday Card is very cheery and fun with bright colors. The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper then I created a doily using the Daffodil Delight with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L which is layered under a strip of Pumpkin Pie Card Stock. The stamped image is from the Best of Birthdays Stamp Set stamped on whisper white. I used the Stampin' Marker to color the image with Pumpkin Pie for the words and flames while the candles and cake were colored with Real Red. Then I cut out the image and Real Red background layer using the NEW Oval Framelits. The flower was created using the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch with an Antique Brad in the center. The flag is Whisper White cut out using the Hearts a Flutter Framelit and embossed using the Polka Dot embossing folder. The colors really are fun, bright and bold!

SUOC #65 – Go Green
St. Patrick Day Card
The card starts with a Whisper White 
card base then I created another layer using the Whisper White Card Stock embossed using the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder running it through my Big Shot several times until it "ripped" the paper. I then cut out the individual Honeycombs and created a design on the Whisper White card stock with the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper. Next, I stamped little shamrocks using the Lucky Limeade classic ink in the Honeycomb design using the Itty BItties Stamp Set from the 2013 Spring Catalog. The sentiment I used is from the Occasions Alphabet Stamp Set which I punched out using the Large Oval Punch and then punched a boarder from the Lucky Limeade card stock using the Scallop Oval Punch. As a final touch on the card, I attached a piece of Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon to the card then tied a bow.

PCCCS 30 – Oh, Hello Stamp Set
Welcome to this weeks card sketch with Paper Craft Crew where I have featured the Oh, Hello stamp set. I love the sketch and plan to play with it more today and will post once I have another card or two done using this sketch but in the meantime, here is this weeks Design Team submission featuring the Oh, Hello stamp set for your viewing pleasure.
Oh, Hello
Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #30
I had just received the Tea For Two Designer Series Paper and really wanted to use it on this card. The colors began with the Island Indigo and just grew from that point. I love the Designer Series Paper but the main design ended up being hidden a bit. I knew I wanted to use the oval shape with the Chevron design from the Oh, Hello stamp set. I stamped the design using the So Saffron then stamped the Oh, Hello stamp set sentiment. At first I wasn't 100% certain where I was going but I do like the end product and find it to be refreshing with a taste of spring in the air. I also managed to use the build a brads for the first time.
Additional elements used include the Oval Framlit to cut the oval. I've also utilized one of my favorite embellishments which are the Pearls. The ribbon is the ruffled ribbon in the Island Indigo. Card stock used on the card include Island Indigo and So Saffron.
The paper craft crew card sketch 30 is just begging for you to create your own card then show it off by sharing it on the Paper Craft Crew challenge blog. To view the other design team member creations, click HERE!

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 28
Welcome to another episode of the Paper Craft Crew featuring Card Sketch #28 with Color Challenge #5. So, I must confess that I really struggled with this color challenge and struggled with these colors. This isn't my favorite card but it is cute; perfect for a certain preschooler in my life to share with one of his teachers!
Storybook Friends Kid Friendly Card
For this weeks card sketch, I used the Storytime Designer Series Paper since it had the Wasabi Green which is one of the colors in this weeks color challenge. The other colors are So Saffron and Perfect Plum. Since the focus of this card turned into being kid friendly I knew I had to use the new Pinwheel sizzlet. I also embossed the Pinwheel before I assembled it. The stamp set is the Storybook Friends which coordinates with the Storytime Designer Series Paper.
Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #28
This is the sketch for this past week. I also invite you to visit the Paper Craft Crew blog by clicking HERE! The design team has created some wonderful samples featuring this weeks card sketch. I'm personally hoping to find more time to create another card with a distinct girly valentine theme!
Color Challenge #5
The color challenge is optional but I encourage you to give it a try. I think you'll love the samples that the design team created.

SUOC #63 – Valentine Chalkboard Card
Welcome to my blog and my design submission for SU! Only Challenge #63. I really enjoyed making this card and I just love the Faux Chalkboard technique. The Faux Chalkboard technique is super easy and simple while really having a powerful effect. This card was the same card that my Goldsboro, NC Craft Club did for their January Club meeting. All the ladies just raved over this technique and how fun it is… Actually, I'll admit I was a bit worried about doing this technique because most of them are teachers.
Valentine Chalkboard Card
I used two stamp sets for this card from the Occasions Catalog. The stamp sets are the Hearts a Flutter and That's the Ticket stamp set. To create the card, I started with the Whisper White card base then layered on top the Basic Black. On the Basic Black, I randomly rubbed Craft White Ink over the black to create the effect of a black board. I then created a border using a white Colored Pencil. The hearts are heat embossed using the Melon Mambo Heat Embossing Powder. The Tags and Tickets used were stamped using Melon Mambo. The Tag was cut out using the matching framelit and the Ticket was punched out using the punch that matches the "That's the Ticket" stamp set.
SO much fun to make!

Merry Christmas
SUOC #61 Blue Ornament
I'm thrilled to bring you this beautiful, blue Merry Christmas ornament that I made based off the ornament on the front of the Holiday Catalog. I used Night of Navy along with the Silver Glimmer paper for each of the ornaments that are hot glued together. The Kraft Tulle is woven in and hot glued with each of the individual ornaments to create this elegant ornament consisting of 10 smaller ornaments hot glued together. Warning… Be very careful working with hot glue 
… These ornaments are really very intensive to make these OH so beautiful ornaments! It was fun to make and I made a bunch at one time. SO, I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and pray you enjoy the wonders of the season!
Merry Christmas!

SUOC #60 – Glitter Galore Card
We have a fun challenge starting today with the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge Blog… The them for Challenge # 60 is Glitter Galore. Oh, how much fun we will have as we shimmer and shine for the Holidays.
Glitter Galore Card on SU! Only Challenges
Glitter Galore Card
I love this Glittery card with just the right amount of shimmer and shine! The base is Whisper White with the background Night of Navy embossed with the Petals A Plenty Embossing Folder. Then I used the Silver Glitter Paper cut out with the Apothecary Accent Framelit then I created an ornament stamped with Night of Navy. I then RESTAMPED the image using the Illuminate Pad and stamped it slightly off center to create a "shadow" effect which is better seen in person. I really love the simple elegance of this card!
To finish the card, I tied a fun bow using the Crumb Cake Scalloped Tulle Ribbon. The stamped sentiment is from one of my favorite stamp sets, Tiny Tags and I used my one of my absolute favorite punches… the Jewelry Tag punch!
Don't forget to visit SU! Only Challenge Blog for additional inspiration for the Design Team Members. Click HERE to see their creations.
So, what do you think? I've fallen in love with the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon and love dressing up my cards and look forward to using it on Christmas Gifts as well this year.
