Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Butterfly Gala with Butterfly Duet

Hi friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month the women in our lives are the inspiration for the cards shared  this month. These projects were created by talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Joy Nelson's blog. I loved her project!

My project features the retiring Butterfly Gala stamp set and the coordinating Butterfly Duet punch which is also retiring. I'm sad to have to say good bye to this lovely duo!

Butterfly Gala

Butterfly Duet

The Hello Beautiful sentiment from the stamp set is a perfect match for the theme of this hop. I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder on a Stitched Nested Label die cut. Then added three punched small butterflies, each embellished with a rhinestone for a bit of bling that any of my female friends would appreciate!

Retiring but still Inspiring Day 3 - Butterfly Gala stamp set

Hi friends!

Some of my favorite stamps and dies are retiring after May 3, 2021. To wish them a fond farewell I'll be blogging about how awesome they are. I think they are so awesome that you'll be inspired to purchase them before they are gone for good!

Today I'm highlighting the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I have 5 fabulous projects to share. This such a fun stamp set! I've also featured the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Duet punch in an earlier blog post (click here for another inspiring project).

Easter Card - Butterfly Gala with Butterfly Duet

Hi friends!

Now that daylight savings time has arrived Easter can't be far behind. A family member asked me to design Easter cards that she could make to send to family friends. My creative juices were up to the challenge!

I am sharing each of the 4 designs so you'll be inspired to use your crafting skills - and stash - to bring a little Easter fun to your family and friends!

The first design features a mix of current stamps and punches, Butterfly Gala and the Butterfly Duet punch, with a retired designer series paper (DSP), Gingham Gala, a personal favorite of mine. I found the perfect Springy/Eastery sentiment from the Timeless Tulips set.

Card Blitz - Butterfly Gala and Hugs from Shelli

Hi friends!

As some of you know, I've created a card blitz, sending full-sized cards to my family, friends, and customers that include a smaller note card inside for them to mail to someone they care about.

I'm sharing photos and information about the cards I made and mailed. I hope you'll be inspired to create your own card blitz to send hugs through the mail.

I love the colors on this card -- so springy! I stamped the butterfly images on an oval die cut from the Stitched Shapes dies using the Butterfly Gala and colored them with Stampin Blends markers (alcohol markers). The greeting is from the Everything is Rosy stamps from the product medley of teh same name (available on the clearance rack at a fabulous price, while supplies last!). And voila, a card that will cheer up any mailbox.

Butterfly Gala stamps with Everything is Rosy sentiment

The note cards I'm showing today are from a Paper Pumpkin kit, the May 2019 Hugs From Shelli kit -- yes, I'm finally getting around to making some older kits! I loved this kit so much that I was "saving" it for a special occasion, and that occasion has arrived.

The Hugs from Shelli kit made 12 note card-sized, 3 each of 4 designs. Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription that brings everything you need to complete that month's project -- stamps, ink, cardstock, embellishments, and adhesive. The only thing you will need to supply is scissors. And there's no craftermath with left overs to deal with! Contact me today to subscribe and you can start your own card blitz.

Now on to the note cards....the sentiments in the kit stamp set are perfect for my card blitz (Hello, Hugs, Dear Friend).

I stamped the stamped floral images peeking out from under the center panel

Stamping is fun, especially when you get to brighten the day of someone you care for!
