Butterfly Birthday



Happy Easter everyone.



Yesterday I worked on a Birthday card for one of my beautiful neices.



With spring starting I wanted bright and cheerful and I got that look with the following products.



Cardstock solid light green: Papertrey Ink



Butterfly Cardstock : KaiserCraft Bubblegum Hills collection. which is available at:






I used nestibilities petite scalloped circles in my cuttlebug to do the circular cuts.



I also used 4 inch coasters purchased from Anne at Paper Patch Crafts to give the cuts



dimention. I love the coasters. Because they are 4 inches it is also easy to do a 4 inch circle with patterned paper to cover the coaster.



Silly me I didn't know you could use nestibilities or spellbinders in my cuttlebug. I had to call Anne and get instruction on how to do that. She is always awesome about teaching and giving information as well as answering all my silly questions! Now I am hooked! I now prefer the nestibilities and spellbinder dies over the cuttlebug dies. They are so much more versatile.

Back to product used.

The mini roses are made by Recollections

I also used Stickles glitter glue.

Now I need to get busy on Mothers Day Cards.

I will also be posting another card I made later today :)

Shelley Toney who is also a designer at the Patch did a fabulous tutorial on making lillies. You can find it on her blog. The link is on my blogs home page. The card I will be posting later shows my first lily attempt after watching the tutorial that Shelley T provided.

Birthday card for my Nephew

Hi everyone! I created this card for my little nephew. I started out thinking I needed to get my brothers done but I had our little guy on my mind so I made his way ahead of time.

Paper Patch Crafts is having a color challenge and the colors are Olive Green, Red and Tan so I used those colors in Patricks card. I am pretty happy with the results. I used a sizzix die for the bear. The stars are a cricut cut and the wagon and pinwheels are Provo Craft Standouts.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

All Boy




Hi everyone!
All 3 of these items were Design Team projects for Paper Patch Crafts. Because I have granddaughters this was a challenge for me. I don't do many male layouts or cards. With that being said Anne provided some wonderful products from her store for me to work with which made it easier. The items used in these projects were:
Echo Park Paper and embellishments in the little boy line.
Embellishments in Maya Road and Kaiser Craft as well as Echo Park Little Boy.
One of the cards can be either male or female.
Now here is a link to Annes store where you can find all of these wonderful products!!
