Butterfly Garden Kit - The Journey Continues

 If you have been following me, I stepped in a hole and severely sprained my foot/ankle, that was 7 days ago. As you can imagine, the pain was unbelievable but by now I am very bored. We watched a couple of series on television but now Jim is busy bottling maple syrup so I am on my own. The Stampin' Up! Kits to the rescue, today it was the Butterfly Garden Kit (167266).  This kit is just so wonderful and comes with everything that you need to make 9 of the prettiest cards.

Such a pretty kit and everything is included; the precut cards with matching envelopes, stamp set, Stampin' spot, dimensionals and white gems to finish your project.

This is what comes with the kit, I really liked the stamp set. It was just perfect for the cards. 

Thanks for stopping by, I have more card kits to make so I am pretty sure that I won't get too bored, although I would much rather be outside working in my gardens.

Take care.
Cindy

Beautiful Graduation Cards

 Since I am laid up, I have been stamping for me this week. From Stampin' Up! Kits to using stamp sets and dies that I have to make some really pretty graduation cards. The cards turned out so pretty, I am kind of proud of them to say the least.

Here are the cards:




Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: (A variety of Congratulatory stamps for the Inside)

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Pumpkin Pie or Pretty in Pink or Shy Shamrock; Black, Splash of Sparkles DSP, Gold Foil

ACCESSORIES: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Square Punch, Dimensionals, Gold Gems, Wanted to Say Dies (Celebrate), Beautiful Balloons Die (Tassel)

When I got this DSP, I really had no idea what to do with it, but when making the cards, I wanted some gold to make the card special and this worked so great.

Thanks for stopping in, hope to see you again.

Cindy
