Butterfly Beauty Box Card

So glad I found this neat card idea online!

It wasn't too difficult to make

(other than die cutting and assembling the butterflies).

I made this for my mom's birthday.

Normally I don't make duplicate cards,

but because I had so many butterfly bits leftover,

I made a second and sent it to my hubby's

long time friend/second mom.

All supplies used came from Stampin' Up!

Waterfront Thinking of You Card

My second  attempt at using the Waterfront

stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I really need to sit down with scrap

paper and practice using this set.

 

30th Birthday Box Card

Pop up box birthday card for a 30th birthday.

I used all sorts of stamp sets, dies, punches,

and so on to make this. 

 I didn't keep a list of all of the names, sorry.

It took HOURS to figure out

what to use and how to place them,

but my daughter's worth it :)

Here is the very first pop up box card I made

several years ago, with instructions

30th Birthday Decorations

A few things I made for a 30th birthday party

using supplies from Stampin' Up! mostly.

I used too many different stamps and dies,

not keeping track of their names, sorry.

The patterned papers were from the 

Falloween paper stack, DCWV.

I love that paper stack!

Spinner Card - galaxy

This is a spinner card, the Earth rotates around the sun.

It was made for a 30th birthday, 

inspired by the words on the party invite of

celebrating 30 rotations around the sun.

Below: pictures of the home made "galaxy" paper -

my second attempt! 

The first try was used for a holiday card

that I'll share in December. 

Below are a couple of photos

from the first background in progress

and a very basic how-to. 

I randomly water colored assorted ink colors 

onto watercolor paper, being careful not to overlap.

I used dye refills, Stampin' Up! brand, and an aquapainter.

I then brushed on Night of Navy ink refill,

watered down a bit.

It dried a lot lighter than when I first applied the 

Night of Navy ink, so I added a little more.

I splattered white craft paint onto

it using an old toothbrush once it 

was completely dry

(not shown in this photo).

It was very messy and didn't turn out

quite as I had hoped. It was my first try,

so maybe if I make a few more

(or use different supplies) they'll be better.

A new to me set that is going to take some

practice - and looking for lots of inspiration to use!

This is a water color look set from Stampin' Up!

moved from Alaska to Georgia. 

Inspired by a sample I found online somewhere.
