Papillon Blending

Another CASE. A demo featured a frame she created using Papillon Potpourri and blendabilities. I knew I wanted to recreate this using a card, and love how it turned out! Also another wonderful opportunity to fiddle with the Blendabilities which are sort of addicting...although I finally realized they smell like dirt when the ink is still wet. Just a wonderful tidbit from me to you. :)

I have to admit I don't own the bitty butterfly punch, so I had to cut those out by hand. So this card took a bit longer than it could have. I also used this opportunity to whip out the new Regarding Dahlias set for the greeting and floral image on the inside, as I remember the CEO of Stampin' Up, Shelli Gardner, telling us at Leadership a few years ago that you should NEVER have a bare card on the inside. :)

Ingredients:
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Regarding Dahlias
Paper: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana
Ink: Memento Black ink, Coastal Cabana
Blendabilities: Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Pearls, Butterfly Punch
 

Banners and Moonlight FTW!

It's rare for me to say that I've fallen in love with paper...but immediately upon seeing the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, I was there. I am definitely a fan of the geometric craze in life right now: honeycomb, stripes, chevron, polka dots...I'm all over it! I cannot go into a home store without wanting to redecorate everything. I guess I could tell my husband at least these craft supplies are cheaper than the throw rugs, pillows, and curtains I have my eye on. :)

I CASEd this card from another demo, just switching out the greeting and main colors. This was my first time getting to break out the banner framelits and Perfect Pennant stamp set, as well as (eeek!) the magnetic Big Shot plate. Holy awesomeness!! Seriously, I can't believe I waited this long to buy that sucker. It is A-MA-ZING. Totally worth the price.
