Black & White With a Little Purple Posy

I am in love with this Happy Birthday card... I am calling it "Black & White With A Little Purple Posy".  That little splash of Purple Posy color gives it just enough.  Both the black and white patterned paper and the flowers are from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack.  

Details:

• Black Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• White Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4"
• True Love DSP:  triangles were cut out using the Stitched Triangle Dies
• Flowers were cut out of the True Love DSP and colored in using the Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam Blends
• 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set

Oh So Ombre Gift Bag

So I know the Oh So Ombre 6x6 Designer Series Paper is retired as part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion, but I made this gift bag for a friend who loves this paper.  But of course, this template can easily be substituted using any Stampin' Up! 6x6 Designer Series Paper.

Details:

• Need 2 sheets of 6x6 DSP
• Score at 1 1/2" on each side on both sheets
• Score at 1 1/2" from the bottom on both sheets (bottom only)
• Cut up to the score line on the bottom and trim the edges (see photos)
• Tape your sides together and then fold in the bottom pieces and glue together

I made a bow using the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon and used a Glue Dot to adhere to a tiny white clothespin.  It's a cute way to keep the gift bag closed.

 

Paying Tribute to the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Butterfly Duet Punch...

It's time to say good by to the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and the Butterfly Duet Punch. This is your last chance to snag this beautiful stamp set and coordinating punch before they retire for good.  Below are all the projects I have made over the years using using this stamp set and punch.  Boy, I guess I do love my butterflies.  : )
