Jun 27, 2016 | cards, Manic Monday, specials, Stampin' Up!
I love this simple but effective design! I apologize to purists though, I had to drop the “Y” from the “ROYGBV” format because I didn’t quite have enough room….and yes, I did do some reinking of my ink pads after I did this card and realized that a few of the colours were a little faded – though it helps to show off the punched butterflies a bit more, right? I used the colours Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Night of Navy and Perfect Plum. The “splat” is from Gorgeous Grunge (available in wood mount or clear mount), and the butterflies are punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is that you don’t have to worry if the cardstock and ink will match. If products have the same name, they will coordinate! (no more searching for a red ribbon or ink that’s a little more blue based than orange based so it matches the cardstock you have….you know what I mean!). A little rhinestone bling helps the butterflies stand out a bit more. Easy, quick and effective – a perfect card to make on a Manic Monday!
I copied the design from one of the cards that Shannon West received for her birthday (sorry, cardmaker unknown). The #imbringingbirthdaysback handmade / mailed card movement has been embraced by cardmakers and Stampin’ Up! lovers! This is a great design that could be used for all sorts of occasions – like Thank You Teacher?!

Have you started your list? This is on my list (and yes, I know you may find it hard to believe but I’m still working out what my first big order from the new catalogue will be!). There’s a new platform for the Big Shot! It looks a little more simple to manage – with the adaptor for thinlits, without the adaptor for embossing folders.
This is one of the embossing folders I have on my list as well. Lots of idea for it, including holiday ones. If I get my act together in time and get my order in, I’ll have this for the upcoming Christmas Card Class on June 24th – so there may very well be a card using this!
The monthly YamStamps Paper Crafting Newsletter goes out via email tomorrow (Tuesday, June 7th) at 1pm eastern, but only to subscribers! Here’s the link to sign up, if the pop up box and permanent box at the top right haven’t caught your eye yet (haha!). Oh – and if you need help fulfilling your wish list needs, you can shop online here or contact me for more assistance.
