So here was our kit project from our meeting on Tuesday night. The supplies are: Cameo Coral card base; Bazzill Swiss Dot white; Papaya (for top note die cut); Making Memories Flower Patch Glitter Butterfly cardstock; Animal Crackers Ric Rac Border cs and miscellaneous ribbon.

The card gives you the illusion that it is all one piece of white cardstock, but it's really a 2-1/2" x 4" piece of white swiss dot cs on the bottom with a piece from the Animal Crackers cs. Then I took a 4"x5-1/4" piece of the swiss dot cs and attached 1/2 of the top note die cut and attached it half way down, cutting off the sides so it is even with the white. I left a small white border on the bottom, stamped my sentiment, wrapped the ribbon around it and then attached it to the card using dimensionals. We then cut a butterfly out from the Flower Patch cs and attached it to the top of the card using dimensionals. The flower patch cs is so cute and glittery- if you haven't seen it yet, you can get it at my shop. With butterflies all the rage right now I just knew I had to get some in my shop.

Let me know what you think.

I don't know if I have mentioned this in a prior post, but as some of you know, I have recently reorganized my craft room and I have to tell you, I have never been more productive in using all of the cool "stuff" I have. So I found these rub-on butterflies that I bought many years ago - very inexpensive and I think I got them in the paint department at Menards. Anyway, when I reorganized my stash I came across them and thought I maybe should get rid of them and then I came up with this card idea when I got a hold of the Basic Grey Ambrosia 6x6 cardstock. So I took one of the rub-on butterflies and rubbed it onto a piece of vellum. The heavier the vellum the more stable the butterfly is but I have to tell you, I rubbed one onto some flimsier vellum last night with some friends and it literally looked like the butterfly had just landed on the top of my card because of it's "whispiness" (is there such a word?). Anyway I'm sure you all have something like this in your stash because this is where rub-ons were first introduced - in the paint department for home decor. Supplies to create the card are: whisper white (card base), Going Grey, Pumpkin Pie designer paper, Basic Grey-Ambrosia black dot and strip of butterflies. The circle is a cuttlebug die and the saying (You're on my mind) is Inspired By Nature by Stampin' Up. Enjoy and I'd love to hear your comments.
