Butterfly Box Card Set!

Butterflies are all the rage right now, and this cards set has a lot of them! The card box has a beautiful shiny butterfly on it, along with a handle for easy carrying. The box easily carries six cards with envelopes. There are three different card designs in the card set. Make two of each, and the box is full! The box and each card design have different butterflies, too. The set features the Watercolor Wings stamp set and Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper. It also features the Butterfly Thinlits and Bold Butterfly Framelits sets. This would make a great card class.

Rich Razzleberry Dahlia!

I made this card for the Creating Pretty Cards Challenge over at Craft Project Central. It's very much like a card we made in class last week (and also a card I swapped at Convention last month)! I'm just loving this Definitely Dahlia stamp - it's so pretty, and you don't have to add to much to a card with such a big beautiful stamp! 

Here's the Sketch that I was following to make my card:

There's still a bit of time to join the Challenge - check it out HERE!

Autumn Leaves Ensemble!

Don’t you just love fall when the weather is crisp and cool and the leaves look like a colorful shawl spread over the trees? In this tutorial, you’ll learn to replicate those beautiful fall leaves with the Vintage Leaves stamp set and a little ink and cardstock. You’ll use them to create a beautiful fall bowl and greeting card. And I’ll show you a fun way to use the new Stampin’ Up! Cotton Paper Assortment to dress up an ordinary candle. Each of these projects would make a fun class, or you could offer all three together as a stamp camp.
