SR#326 Butterfly Basics

I was so excited when I saw the Stampin' Royalty challenge. The challenge was anything Butterfly. I love the Bold Butterfly and the Butterfly framelits. They are my favorite. I was in the middle of making 30 of these cards.  I first created this card for a friend's birthday. She fell in love with it and asked me if we could make the same card, only as a thank you card. She had just had a baby shower and need 30 thank you cards. The beauty of this card it's easy to mass produce.

A Nice Cuppa Mother's Day Invitations

For the past several years the infant/toddler teachers have hosted a Mother's Day Tea at my Child Development Program. Over the years it gets bigger and more elaborate. We are in full swing into preparations for the big event. When I saw the A Nice Cuppa stamp set I know it would be prefect for the invitations. The teachers got together at my home this Saturday to create their cards in their own style.
My Friend Kellie loved the bright colors of the Have a Cuppa DSP and the little hearts thinlits and her card featured the hearts in a big way.

Birthday Party Pouch & my first video tutorial

Hello

I made these pouches for my coworkers for Valentine's Day. They all loved them and a couple asked for directions on how to make them. I decided to kill two birds with one stone, and recreate them for some up coming Family Birthday Celebration. This month we are celebrating four family members birthdays. I needed a quick gift card holder and small gift wrapper for all the gifts. These were easy to make and I could make them any size.
