Fairyland Butterflies notecard set

Graphic 45 A Time To Flourish 6x6 pad used - the entire 6x6 pad created eighteen cards - three sets of six.

Here's a set of six - the Memory Box Fairyland Butterflies die was used with Bazzill Butter Mints card bases.

Card sizes are A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 inches.   Minor machine stitching involved - these sets are for the market and etsy.  Folks love to see sewing on paper - to someone not in the industry it seems so novel!

One set of cards was created using the Waltzing Butterflies die too.  Thanks for stopping by!

doodlebug notebooks

4 x 6 inches in size - featuring refillable, spiral-bound notepads.  This selection uses the new Doodlebug Lovebug papers and embellishments. Knob pulls are KaiserCraft.  Doodlebug has already retired this collection.  Yikes.

These are also 4x6 inches in size and use Hello Sunshine papers and embellishments, 7gypsies clear buttons and linen thread.  These are so much fun for me to create, and I enjoy seeing the smile on the recipient's face.

serendipity frame sympathy card

Close-up of card front.

Finished card size is an A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 inches.  Serendipity Frame cut from white cardstock, set aside one bird,  inked entire frame/leaves/branches with Distress Gathered Twigs (seemed an appropriate color-ha) ink and a foam blending tool, then fine-tuned the branches and leaves using Copic markers (YG23, YG25 for leaves; E35 for branches).  

Card base is Bazzill Sugar Wafer.  A swatch of Melange Tissue Wrap was cut to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and adhered to card base.  Cut another 4.25 x 5.5 piece of Sugar Wafer cardstock with the lovely Elliana Background die and adhered over Melange Tissue.  Cut Woodland Oval from white cardstock and Oval Frame Background die from watercolor paper.  

Using Stormy Sky and Peacock Feathers Distress Re-inkers I watercolored the oval diecut, then heat-set.  Serendipity Frame was adhered using clear-drying glue; bird was adhered with a bit of foam tape.  Entire oval was adhered to Woodland Oval using foam tape for dimension.

Card interior sentiment - Winnie & Walter A Tree For All Seasons along with a Pierson Corner diecut using Sugar Wafer cardstock.

If this card had not been intended as a sympathy card I would have added pearl bling to the Woodland Oval.  This one needed to be simple, elegant and understated.
