Stair step butterflies

In one of my Yahoo groups we had one of the Sunday Tip or Technique that was this fold and it was set up as a mingle (aka swap) because of my OCD I could not use dies and I really don't like fuzzy cutting so having the butterfly duet punch on my desk decided to use it. I color a bunch of butterflies with Copic markers on heavy cardstock so you couldn't see the coloring on the back and then I was able to punch and attach wherever I wanted. So used butterfly gala set by SU, the grass is from Easter eggs set by G-Rated Rubber Stamps with peeled paint and mowed lawn inks, also added some "weeds" from SU's set enjoy life with crushed olive ink, the message is on VersaFine Clair nocturne, stamped it on a scrap paper punched it with word window and glued it on the card so it's white on white

Easter egg

This is one of the Easter cards I sent this year. The rabbits are ears to you stamp by SU stamped with Bahama blue, cantaloupe and sweet plum, the grass is from Easter eggs set by G-Rated Stamps stamped with peeled paint. I glued the background paper on tope and bottom and then die cut the egg from the nested eggs by Spellbinders and then I put some delicate details lace tape and some pearls as eyes and tail from my stash

Shoebox Thursday

For today's shoebox project was another Easter card. This one was more traditional. The ideas was from Tami White from a couple years ago plus added from the sun idea by Queen B Creations.

The light is a SU's kinda eclectic set. For the cross I stamped the woodgrain stamp also by SU then cut and made cross, added a little enamel accent by Ranger for the "nails", the ribbon is also by SU and the ground is part of a G-Rated Rubber Stamps set

Super Bowl

Today is super bowl day, day to find something to do so I don't have to worry about TV. Unfortunately Bret's team didn't make the cut but still made him a card that also use for my mingle that was with sports theme

I saw several cards using football ball...I cut mine with Brother Scan N Cut, embossed with Cuttlebug tiny bubbles, wasn't sure how to do the stripes as some cards had a full piece and others cut in the middle so did both and let Bret decide...he said they both work fine. The lace was done with white baker's twine also left over from a paper pumpkin. Used one of my cloud templates and VersaMagic ink to add just a little something on the white, the grass if from a G-Rated stamp set and the message not sure who makes it but is a local place, got it at Impress
