This card was created a variety of stamps sets.  The butterflies were stamped using a multi-layer stamp set from Hampton Art #SC0750.  The layered flowers are from Stampin Up's Flower Shop and Petite Petals sets and then punched with their coordinating pansy and petite petals punches. The background flourishes are from their Falling Flowers stamp set. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Butterfly Basics.  All were stamped with their Wisteria Wonder ink.
This card was created using Stampin Up's Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies with a sentiment from the coordinating Colorful Seasons stamp set.
These birthday cards were created using Stampin Up's Butterfly Basics stamp set using several ink combinations.  This first one was Dapper Denim, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron and was my favorite color combination of the 3.  I used my Sweet Petunia Misti to align the stamps.







For these other two I used Rose Red, Island Indigo, and Emerald Envy, and then Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, and Rose Red.




This sympathy card was made with stamps from Stampin Up's Falling Flowers stamp set and May Flowers Framelits Dies using Berry Burst Ink.  The sentiment is from their Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.
Another birthday card using the same technique to cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment as I did on some cards a few weeks ago, but this time using Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight inks from Stampin Up!, and then cut out with their Happy Birthday Thinlits Die. The background was sponged with the same ink colors. And the flowers were stamped using their Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy Punch. The leaves were cut with their May Flowers Framelits Dies.

Here is a similar card using the same ink colors, made this time with the Daisy Delight stamp set and coordinating Daisy Punch.

The flowers on this card were stamped using Stampin Up's Daisy Delight stamp set with their Sweet Sugarplum, Garden Green and Rose Red inks. I felt I had to try another card with the small daisies in this set as I wasn't entirely pleased with my first attempt several weeks ago. The butterflies were stamped with their Papillion Potpourri stamp set with Crushed Curry ink and punched using their Elegant Butterfly punch.The sentiment is from their Best Birds stamp set.  Overall I think this design came out much better.  This is an A7 size card.

A note card to use for any occasion created using Stampin Up's Grateful Bunch stamp set and punched out with their Blossom Bunch punch.  The ferns are from their Butterfly basics stamp set. Sweet Sugarplum and Tranquil Tide inks and enamel shapes. 

This second version used Tempting Turquoise and Sweet Sugarplum inks.
Another birthday card using the Balloon Adventures stamps set and Balloon Pop-up dies from Stampin Up.  A fun and easy birthday card to make.
Another Christmas card, this time using a holiday colored bird and branch stamped with Stampin Up's Best Birds stamp set and die cut with their coordinating Birds and Blooms Thinlits Die.  The circles were cut with their Circle Stitched dies.  This sentiment is from Hero Arts stamp set CL722.
Made this Halloween card for a little friend for the upcoming holiday.  It was customized from a Cricut Design Space project and then cut on my Cricut Explore.  Simple but fun.
Three bright and fun cards. First I created a print and cut image with a bird nest and branch using my Cricut Explore.   The birds and sentiments were stamped using Stampin' Up's Best Birds stamp set and colored with Bermuda Bay, and Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight  Inks.  The various flowers are from the SU Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.  These are A7 size cards.



Made several cards using the new Happy Birthday Thinlits die from Stampin Up with my sister-in-law this past week.  I used several combinations of ink and applied them to watercolor paper with my aqua brushes. 



Let them dry and then die cut them.  I love this technique. 
And then on this one we embossed the background mat using Stampin Up's Confetti die.  And lastly added some fun little sequins and die cut butterflies.


 Look at all the A7 size cards we made.








A simple Christmas card.  The background mat was embossed using Anna Griffin's Holly Berry Swirls.  The cute little snowgirl image was found on Google and a print and cut done using Cricut Explore and Cricut design space.  A couple of red rhinestones and some clear Wink of Stella and you're done.
