I also wanted to share a fabulous card that I received from Michelle Lembke at Leadership Conference that I have modified a bit using the Swallowtail stamp set in the Spring Catalog.  I would love to hear your comments – please post below (under the post where it says, "No Comments/Comments")

POP OUT BUTTERFLY CARD

INSIDE OF CARD:

Supplies:

• Swallowtail stamp set
• Beautiful birthday stamp set
• Field flowers stamp set
• Papillon Potpourri stamp set
• My Friend stamp set
• Wild Wasabi stamp pad
• Island Indigo stamp pad
• Versa mark stamp pad
• Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder
• Big Shot
• Pumpkin pie stamp pad
• Scallop circle punch
• Heat gun
• Basic black embossing powder
• Sponges
• Aqua painter
• Watercolor crayons
• Elegant butterfly punch
• Stampin’ dimensionals

Card Stock:

• Whisper white – cut one piece at 5 ½” x 8 ½”
  • Cut one piece at 2 ½’ x 4”
• Wild wasabi – cut one piece at 4” x 5 ¼”
• Pumpkin pie – cut one piece at 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”
• So saffron – cut one piece at 5 ½” x 6”

Step by Step:

1. Score the whisper white card stock at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8” and fold up the side flaps.
2. On the inside of the card, stamp the leaves from the “My Friend” stamp set using the wild wasabi ink across the bottom inside of the card.  Stamp at full strength with the ink and then stamp again without re-inking.  Do this a couple of times to create a forest of green at the bottom of the whisper white card stock.
3. Stamp “Happy Birthday” using the Beautiful Birthday stamp and Island Indigo ink – onto the top right flap of the whisper white card.  Stamp the flower from the “Field Flowers” stamp set over the top of the forest of green using pumpkin pie ink as shown in picture above.
4. Using a cut out scallop circle from the punch – lay over the whisper white card stock and brush ink over the scallops to create a cloud.  Repeat this process until the clouds are all finished.
5. Stamp the Swallowtail butterfly onto the so saffron card stock using the versa mark pad.   Sprinkle with basic black embossing powder and shake off excess.  Heat set with a heat gun.  Cut out.  Color in using the aqua painter and the water color crayons as shown in picture above. 
6. Cut out 2 strips of so saffron card stock at ½” x 2 ½” – score every ½”.  Fold up and secure the ends together with tape.  Secure to the back of the butterfly wings using mini glue dots.  Secure to the inside of the card using mini glue dots – the butterfly should “pop” out!
7. Run the Wild Wasabi card stock through the Big Shot using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder.  Attach the wild wasabi card stock to the front flap of the whisper white card – making sure that you cover only the left flap of the card!
8. Repeat the stamping on the 2 ½” x 4” whisper white card stock that you did on the inside of the card.  Attach the whisper white card stock to the pumpkin pie card stock and then to the front of the wild wasabi card stock.
9. Stamp the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set using black staz on ink pad.  Cut out using the elegant butterfly punch.  Color in using the aqua painter and the water color crayons.  Attach to front of card using a stampin’ dimensional.
10. Your card is finished!

Punch Art Easter Bunny!

For today's post I wanted to share an Easter Card that we completed at our Punch Art stamp club last night.  What do you think?!!  Please post your thoughts below – I would love to hear them!  This is not my original design – I was inspired by a card posted by Eva Dietz online.

Supplies:

Card Stock:

• Whisper white – cut one piece at 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half for base of card
• Baja breeze – cut one piece at 4" x 5 1/4"
• Floral district dsp – cut one piece at 3 3/4" x 4"
• Scraps of whisper white and pink pirouette

Step by Step:

1. Attach the Baja breeze dsp from the Floral District package to the Baja breeze card stock.
2. Wrap a piece of 1/4" whisper white stitched grosgrain ribbon around the card stock where the dsp meets the Baja breeze card (as shown above).  Tape ends on back of the card.  Attach all to the whisper white – base of card.
3. Tie another smaller piece of ribbon around the ribbon already in place and tie in a knot to create a faux bow.
4. Stamp "Happy Easter" from the Delightful Dozen stamp set using black staz on ink on the bottom center of the Baja breeze card stock.
5. To create the bunny:

·         Full heart – cut one from scraps of whisper white card stock.

·         large oval – cut 2 for the ears from whisper white card stock.

·         small oval – cut 2 for the inside of the ears from scraps of pink pirouette card stock.

·         small circle – cut 1 for the nose

6. Assemble the bunny as shown above.   Put dimensionals on the back of the bunny and put above the ribbon as shown.
7. Using the basic black marker, create the whiskers and the mouth of the bunny.
8. Your card is finished!
