Butterfly Thank You

Here's a set that I haven't pulled out in a while.  This is Butterflies and Perfect Sentiments from Pinkfresh Studio.

I needed a thank you card, so pulled out the image that was already stamped and stenciled.  I also have a bunch of these sentiments ready to go, which made for a quick card!

I used the Starshine Background die on some warm pink cardstock as my base, then cut a white Hemstitch Oval to go behind the butterfly.  The butterfly was attach only with adhesive on the body, and the wings are bent up for a little dimension.  The sentiment was attached with 3D foam adhesive, and some gold pearls were used as the head, and dotted around the card.

December Birthdays

 I have a couple of family birthdays this week, so I pulled out one of the panels I made last summer using the Butterflies stamps and stencils (I made up several extra stamped panels in different colourways - for exactly this reason, to pull out when needed!), and fussy cut out the butterflies.

For this card I used the Diagonal Stitched Plaid Cover die on some aqua cardstock as the base, then die cut the Stitched Scallop Rectangles die in some fine, sparkly silver cardstock.  I glued the butterfly down with a gem for it's head, and added one of the Perfect Sentiments with some 3D foam tape.

My second card uses the Eyelet Cover Die from Pigment Craft Company on aqua cardstock, trimmed to show just a hint of white around the edges.  I die cut the smaller Stitched Scallop Rectangle die from the same glittery cardstock and added another Perfect Sentiment with foam tape.

They're wonderfully sparkly in person!  All supplies are Pinkfresh Studio, except where noted.

Blue Butterflies

 A few weeks ago I stamped and stencilled six of these beautiful butterflies from Pinkfresh Studio.  So today I decided to get a few of them made into cards.  I used the same inks with the Horizontal Stripes stencil, added the Braided Circle dies to one, and zigzag stitched them onto some light blue textured cardstock.  The butterflies' wings are propped up, and the Perfect Sentiments are attached with 3D foam adhesive.  

All supplies are Pinkfresh Studio.

And even more Butterflies!

 Another redo of my recent Butterflies cards using the Pinkfresh Studio stamp and stencil set.  Both this image and the full butterfly are together on one stamp, which is grea - since you always wind up with two images for two cards.  I created my own stencil by cutting a Taylored Expressions coverplate from scrap paper, and then made an inked background, matted them in matching colours and added some of the gold embossed Perfect Sentiments - also from Pinkfresh Studio.  Another 6 for my stash.

I am entering this into the Pinkfresh Studio August Challenge!  I created my own background, which is what their August theme is.

More Butterflies!

 This is re-do on a card that I made a few months ago with the lovely Butterflies stamp and stencil set from Pinkfresh Studio.  I tried a new colour combo using their inks, and quite like it.  I got six of these made!

I used their Perfect Sentiments stamp set, stamped it several times and embossed with gold embossing powder to make a huge pile of sentiments ready for me to use.  I die cut the background coverplate from white cardstock to use as my base, then created a die cut frame in a coordinating colour to my butterfly.  Some champagne pearls were added for the butterfly's heads.

Pinkfresh Studio Butterflies

 I am in love with my newest Pinkfresh Studio stamp set: Butterflies!  I used the matching stencils to add colour with my mini ink cubes, and fussy cut the butterflies out.  The Diagonal Stitched Plaid die was used on white cardstock for my background, and then I ink blended some Slumber ink onto white cardstock, and cut out my hearts and the stitched frame.

I gold embossed the Perfect Sentiments stamp set and cut them all out with the matching die - and chose two of them for my cards.  I added light blue jewels to the heads of the butterflies, and sprinkled a few around my Sending Hugs card.

I am entering the February challenge on the Pinkfresh Studio blog - the theme is All About Love.
