Butterfly Bling

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2011 Stampin' Up!®

I made this card for two really good friends who each have a birthday during December. I love the new Glimmer Paper in the Summer Mini. I've put some of the red Glimmer Paper through the big shot using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and the Movers & Shapers Punch Windows for this card. Once the Glimmer Paper went on, there really wasn't much more needed so I kept it simple.

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Red Glimmer Paper;

Ink: Basic Gray;

Stamp: Petite Pairs;

Dies: Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, Movers & Shapers Punch Windows;

Punches: Scallop Oval, Large Oval;

Other: Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine.

I made this card for the Stampers Anonymous Christmas card swap event at our annual Christmas party last week.

I used: Real Red and Whisper White cardstock, Real Red ink, Contempo Christmas stamp set, Real Red satin ribbon and rhinestone jewels. The base card was put through the big shot using the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Some scrapbooking

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2011 Stampin' Up!®

I've been on leave for the last three days and today I managed to do some scrapbooking.

In the Chelsea layout, I've used the beautiful DSP, Spice Cake from the new mini. I've also used Soft Suede and Very Vanilla cardstock. The title was made using the Simple Letters Alphabet on the Big Shot. In the top right hand corner, I've put a Glimmer brad through a Very Vanilla button which was made using the Buttons #5 Sizzlits die.

In the Horse and Groom layout (that's the name of a pub in the Cotswolds in England), I've used the Big Top Birthday DSP, Real Red cardstock and Real Red Satin ribbon.
