Washi tape and Mixed Bunch butterfly folder

Here is another folder my granddaughter and I worked on for her school supplies.  It's amazing how much fun some Stampin' Up! Supplies and a 15 cent folder  can be for the two of us.  Using the washi tape was her idea.  I gave her the quadrant idea and she ran with it.  It was also her idea to stamp in the center piece.  I love how this turned out.  It is very unique and I'm sure she will love using it.  What 9 year old girl wouldn't, especially when she knows she created it!  The stamp set used was Mixed Bunch.  It is embossed in melon mambo, tempting torquoise and white.  We also used Papillon Potpourri for the little butterflies.  Various washi tape, all from SU) was used.

Back to school embossed pocket folder

My granddaughter had fun making her back to school folders her own. Here is the first one.  We used the Flowering Flourishes, Swallowtail and Papillon Potpourri stamp sets and embossed them using tempting tour quite, tangerine tango, wild wasabi and melon mambo embossing powders.  Of course it needed just a little bling with some basic rhinestone jewels.  There will be no mistaking which folder is hers.  The colors on the black folder make a beautiful chalkboard effect.

Lovely Lacey butterfly card

This card uses a direct to paper technique using an ink pad to highlight the beautiful embossing folder called Lovely Lace.  I used island indigo ink on island indigo cardstock.  The flowers are from  Beautiful Bunch, Flower Shop Pictogram Punches and and Petite Petals stamp sets.  Each of these sets have a coordinating punch to go along with them.  The butterflies are from the set Papillion Potpourri.  Two of the butterflies are sponged while the small butterfly in the middle was colored with Blendabilities.  I stamped them in Momentous tuxedo black ink.  The flowers are stamped in strawberry slush ink on pink pirouette cardstock.  Thanks for looking and I hope this inspires you to make something today.

Happy Butterfly shadow box

I created this shadow box for a gift exchange in December.  Now that it is close to summer, I thought I'd share it with all of you.  I had a lot of fun with this and I hope it inspires you to try one for yourself.  The frame is an 8X8.  It uses all Stampin' Up products.  Stamp sets used are Swallowtail, Papillion Potpourri and the now retired Best of Butterflies.  The sentiment is from a set called Yippee Skippee.  I used a lot of stampin' dimensionals to give the butterflies some life.  Butterflies are embossed with black embossing powder and then colored with markers.  I added some dazzling details for a little bit of sparkle.  I LOVE how this turned out. 

Thanks for taking time out of your day to look. 

Papillion Potpourri treat box

Thanks to inspiration from Sam Donald, here are two little treat boxes I made using the Stampin' Up! envelope punch board and a 6x6" piece of designer series paper, stamps and punches.  I think they turned out very pretty.  This would make a nice little co-worker gift, Mother's Day gift or a little thank you.  You can find a video on how to make the basic treat box here bag in a box tutorial by Sam Donald.  She does lots of amazing projects.

These treat boxes use all Stampin' Up! products.

This is the second card in a box I've made.  I really like how it turned out.  I made this card for my mom for her birthday.  This way I can give her flowers, that won't die.  I hope she loves it as much as I do.
