Modern Elements

I purchased this patterned paper for a steal knowing it matched either Stampin' Up!'s Bermuda Bay or Taken with Teal cardstock.  Modern Elements are the "rage."

* Stamp and punch two butterflies.  One is adhered to the card and the other is popped up with a
Dimensional.  I used three pearls for a prettier butterfly.

I tried tying the tag on using twine; through the ribbon, my klutzy hands couldn't make a nice knot close enough to the tag.  Instead, I attached it with a mini glue dot under the knot.

I used the following stamp sets on the card box top - Mosaic Madness and Vintage Labels.  The ribbon was 5/8" twill in Certainly Celery.   A picture tutorial on the box is available for only $2.99.  Click here for ordering information.

Thinking of You Using a Card Map

When I just can't seem to create a card from scratch, I use card maps.  I used this card map by Create with Connie and Mary.  Using card maps can be a challenge, but the rewards (creating your own card) are worth it.  I give myself an F on this my first try.  But wait to you see my second card!

Using Night of Navy ink, I stamped the butterfly directly over the flower image.  I then stamped two butterflies onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I punched them out and glued one directly over the butterfly image already on the card.  I place a small piece of Dimensionals onto the body of the remaining butterfly, lightly bent the wings up and attached it to the card.

Lattice Cross

These are some of the steps I took to create this card.  After determining the size of my card layers, I held them together with sticky notes.  At this point I wasn't sure how I would arrange the patterned paper, cross, leaves and butterfly.

I glued together the Crushed Curry card base and Dusty Durango card layer.  I determined the best layout for the DSP, cross and sentiment.

I stamped the sentiment on the Whisper White cardstock and attached this layer to the card. 

I used temporary adhesive to hold the lattice cross in place.  I moved the leaves around and decided how I wanted to place the leaves and butterfly. 

I took another cross and set of leaves, mimicked the leaf layout and glued the leaves in place on the cross.

I glued the finished cross to my card.

I glued one embossed butterfly directly on the card.  I placed a Dimensional to the other butterfly, lightly bent the wings and attached it to the card
