I am so excited that the butterfly framelits are available again!  and discounted!  how exciting is that?  I just had to feature them in my card today 🙂  This card is another watercolor beauty that took about 5 minutes to make!  Seriously….so easy!

I cut the large butterfly out of a piece of watercolor paper that I cut at 4.25 x 5.5″.  After it was cut out, I put the whole thing on a paper towel and watercolored with re-inkers and water in four loose quadrants, the background and the butterfly.  I popped the background piece up on a coastal cabana base, after adding my gold foil “hello”, added some de-constructed jute ribbon and a few rhinestones and voila, my card was done!

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for letting me share, have a great week filled with inspiration and beauty!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 39

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dani Dziama’s blog. I can’t wait to share our beautiful inspiration with you today!

It is starting to feel a little like spring around here.  My mama’s daffodils are poking their heads through our snow drifts and it has been sunny and warm all weekend 🙂  My project today features soft, springy colors.  I am so in love with the new Lovely Amazing You photopolymer set!  The font makes me seriously swoon!  My card today is simple and easy and features this lovely, amazing set 🙂

I painted some watercolor swooshes in Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Crisp Cantaloupe.  I just used a drop of re-inker and my Aqua Painter…so fast and easy!  I white embossed the envelope image from the set on all three colors of paper and cut them out.  I stapled them together randomly and popped them over the swooshes.  On top of that is the sentiment, white embossed on vellum.  The finishing touches were rhinestones, sequins and a bit of string.  My favorite string this week is deconstructed white jute ribbon.  It is so easy to pull apart and I love the texture it adds.  It is so easy to work with, you can pretty much shape it any way you want.

Thanks for letting me share, have a great week filled with inspiration and beauty!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 38

You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dani Dziama’s blog.

Well the whole country has been dealing with lots of snow the last several weeks and now it is Colorado’s turn.  It has been snowing on and off since Friday and we got quite a bit of the white stuff.  We need the moisture so it’s hard to complain but I sure miss my sunshine!

Today my project is super simple and features some sunny colors!  I am using the Hooray It’s Your Day Simply Created Kit.  This was our “Take & Make” from Leadership and I thought it was the perfect kit to bring in a little sunshine 🙂  I only used a couple of things outside the kit.  One thing I did that was super fun was using silver foil on the wood accent pieces.  I coated them with 2-way glue and let it dry for a bit and then added the foil.  Easy peasy and so much wow factor!

I added silver foil to the mini clothespin too.  I hope this inspires you to make your own simple, sunny project today!

Thanks for letting me share, have a great week filled with inspiration and beauty!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 30

Hello friends! Welcome back to our Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dani Dziama’s blog. I can’t wait to share our beautiful inspiration with you today!

Hello there my friends….another pretty fall card for you today!  This card features the pretty “For All Things” set once again!  When my bestie Kimber was here last weekend we had a crafting marathon and this was one of the many things we created.  There is nothing better than working together on projects….yippee!!!

We used the now retired Expressions Thinlets which can still be found on the Clearance Rack!  Don’t miss these awesome thinlets….I just love these sayings.  We cut out “thankful” in gold foil.  The trick to using the expressions thinlets is to layer wax paper between the die and your medium, then your words slide right out of the die 🙂

The rest of the card is easy peasy….we stamped the leaf image in several colors on the card front, we cut one leaf out and popped it up.  We added some cute washi tape, a feather die cut from brushed gold and the final touch of cuteness are the glittered wooden leaf elements.

I hope you like these as much as we liked making them 🙂

Don’t miss the rest of the pretties my friends have for you!  I just know everyone has gorgeous projects to share!
