I know I'm not alone, I use half of a pack of Designer Series Paper right away and then the other half is lost in my mind. Well, actually stored away in my craft studio and I forget about it.

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."

Stampin' Up! Products

* 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.

Other Products

• White cardstock, or should I say not-so-white cardstock**
• Card base measures 5" x 3 1/2"

I cannot remember where I learned how to make the flowers stand out.  I use an embossing tool to create depth in the cardstock flowers.  I will try to take pictures of each step and post a tutorial.

* Muirfield's coordinating cardstock colors are Bashful Blue, Old Olive, So Saffron, Rose Red and Whisper White.  I felt the Rose Red color in the DSP didn't match as well as the Cherry Cobbler.

** No brand-name or store-brand cardstock can't compare to Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White.  I had purchased ready-made cards with envelopes and I didn't want to throw them away.  NEVER again will I buy anything by Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White.
