I don’t know about anyone else but I love my butterfly stamps, and punches and dies.  I was sad to see the butterfly punch and coordinating stamp sets on the retired lists – but I have seen the new catalog and let me just say that there are new butterflies in there – and I love them too…..I can’t wait until June 1st so I can place an order.  But until then I am still playing with what I got.  Last week Heather posted this super cute card on her blog and I knew I had to make one like it – here is mine –

This one uses the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper and the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding – they will both be in the new catalog starting June 1st.  For my stamp club last week I created this version –

For this one I used the Cheerful Treat Designer Series Paper that is in our current catalog and Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding – both of these will be retired at the end of the month.  I also added a little tag – the “for you” is from the Clearly for You stamp set which is also retiring.

This quick and cute card idea would be easy to do with many designer papers and you could adapt it to use a star punch or some other shape. I think I’ll have to play some more with this design.  Thanks Heather for the great card idea!

Have a great Mother’s Day weekend – I may or may not post again over the weekend.  Tomorrow I’m taking Kyle to the airport – he is leaving for California and I’m a bit sad about that – I’m excited for him and the opportunity that he has, but sad that he’ll be so far away.  Sunday we are going to see my mom and dad for the day and I’m really looking forward to that.
