Butterfly Prints is one my favorite new stamp sets from the Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog. It is a small set with three sets of butterfly wings, the body image and a quote about Love. I used it for one of my convention swaps – the one I did for the Shoebox swap and I got back a swap from another demo that used that set too. Swapping is a fun part of any Stampin’ Up! event. And it gives us great ideas to bring back to use in our classes. So that is exactly what I did.
I received this swap from Dianne Gill – I think it was one of the completed cards I received from the shoebox swap. I really liked her card with the Butterfly Prints stamp set and the bright colors. I decided to use it for my card club meeting last week. I changed the greeting on the front (I don’t have the set that Dianne used) and simplified the inside for my club.
I played around with some different colors but ultimately decide to stick with the colors Dianne used. Sometimes when something is just right it doesn’t need to be changed!
For my greeting I used the Three Little Words stamp set. Then everyone at the club meeting could create the card for the occasion that they needed. On the inside are the three little words and another butterfly image. How about that three little words and three little butterflies – it kind works together don’t you think?
The colors are little hard to tell in this photo – the background looks lighter than it is. The back is Pear Pizzazz, then Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. The words and butterfly bodies are stamped with Early Espresso. The center butterfly is stamped on a second time on a piece of Whisper White card stock, punched out with the butterfly punch and popped up with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
I hope you are having fun playing along with Blog Bingo. It’s time for the next piece to be called – are you ready?
It’s BINGO TIME! We are playing Round 2 of Monika’s Blog Bingo. I’m currently taking names for Round 5. See this POST for more details on how to join, how to play and the Round 1 winner.
Here is piece #4 – the heart image from Cute by the Inch stamp set (stamped in Poppy Parade).
Have a wonderful day!
Dianne is a great stamper (she is one of my sidelines) and I love how you switched it up with the “Three Little Words . . .” sentiment — perfect with the 3 butterflies (I never think of things like this!!
