Circle Thinlits in Gold and Cantaloupe

Hi!

I have a card today using my much underused Circles Thinlits die. I referred to my previous tutorial (HERE) to make this three panel sized card using this die :-)

I was inspired by a card I made a long time ago that I spotted again when I was updating my links at the end of my posts on here. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you might have seen I decided (in my infinite wisdom) to change my Twitter name to #cardsandacuppa but unfortunately for me I then had to update all the links on here! Meaning I had to go back to modify each post for nearly two years! On the upside I remembered cards I had totally forgotten about and so this is where the colours for this card have come from!

Anyway, enough waffle. I'm going to share the card with you now.

I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe base and topped each section whisper white card then added gold vellum paper over this...

 The sentiment is from a retired set and was stamped over a brush stroke from work of Art with some mini butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set which I heat embossed in Gold.

 A larger butterfly I added inside

 I also added a thick cantaloupe twine and gold bakers twine bow

 inside

 Closed. I left the back panel blank for writing on.

and one final photo to finish

OK, that's all for today. Thanks for looking and I hope you liked today's card.

Stampin' Up's Papillon Potpourri with Hardwood Background stamps

Hello there,

I'm late with today's post as I have been out and about today meeting with my friend Laura *waves* in Salisbury. Laura is another one of those people I would never have met unless we had both become SU! demos. So I thank SU! for introducing me to her every time we meet :-)

Anyway, the card I have for you is a pretty butterfly card based on a similar one I made HERE back in May of this year using Summer Silhouettes with the Hardwood background stamp. It appears to have been very popular on Pinterest, who knows what cards will grab Pinners attention huh? ;-)

So, I made this similar one using the Hardwood background stamp again but this time teamed it with Papillon Potpourri in Night of Navy and Calypso Coral with a touch of Garden Party (leaves) to make this card.

TOP TIP 1: Stamp your sentiment first, then add butterflies around it.

I've had this scrummy  Coral Seam Binding ribbon burning a hole in my craft room for a while now so couldn't resist using it at class this week

 and I added a couple of stamped and punched butterflies to the card for some 3d action on there :-)

TOP TIP 2: Use a pair of fine tweezers to fold your butterflies up and around, this gives you a nice flat centre to add glue to as well as perfectly creased butterflies.

Right, that's me for today but I'll definitely be back tomorrow with another card for you. 

Thanks for looking today,

Stampin' Hugs,
