Butterfly Bouquet

I have a little birthday card to share with you today.

This card was inspired by CASology’s Week 135 Cue Card: MINI and Shona’s card for this week’s Muse challenge.

 

This card measures 3 7/8″ x 3 1/8″. For this tiny card, I used an EK Success Mini Retro Flower punch to make some flowers out of some watercolor paper from another card.  I used a SU Mini Butterfly punch to make the little white butterfly and then embossed it. I lined the card with a SU Polka Dot DSP.

Bright Stars

  I have another bright little card to share with you today.

 

My card was inspired by the Card Concept’s challenge #29 inspiration photo. This week’s Fusion Challange Sketch also has stars in it and my bright mixture of colors reminds me of the bright bow ties too.

To make my card, first I made mask with a scrap piece of card stock. Next, I used an tiny start stamp from Stampin’ Up’s Banner Blast stamp set and then I used a Stampin’ Up lattice embossing folder to add texture to the flowers.

This is a small card, measuring 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″.

I’m going to play this over at CASology’s Mini Challenge this week as well as at The Card Concept Challenge #29 and Addicted to CAS’ Mask Challenge and Uniko Studio’s Challenge #18: Birthdays.

Tiny Bouquet

  I have a little birthday card to share with you today.

This card was inspired by CASology’s Week 135 Cue Card: MINI.

To make this card, first I made a stencil with a EK Success Mini Retro Flower punch. Next, I used an ink blending tool to apply SU’s pool party ink to the card stock. I also used the same punch to make some flowers out of some left over watercolor paper from another card. I also cut some strips from the same paper to make the stems.

 

Next I stamped the polka dots from PTI’s Polka Dot Basics II stamp set. This is a smaller than usual card, measuring 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″.

I’m going to play this over at CASology’s Mini Challenge and Seize the Birthday’s Anything Goes, Uniko Studio’s Birthday Challenge and SSS’s Monday Challenge: Anything Goes this week.

Little Yellow Flower

  I have another little birthday card to share with you today.

  

This card was inspired by CASology’s Week 135 Cue Card: MINI.

To make this card, first I made a little stencil with a EK Success Mini Retro Flower punch. Next, I used an ink blending tool to apply SU’s so saffron ink to the card base. I also used the same punch to make the foreground of this card. I did some ink blending, adding a stem with SU’s Summer Silhouettes stamp set and a tiny circle with some Glossy Accents.

 This is smaller than my usual cards, measuring 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″.

I’m going to play this over at CASology’s Mini Challenge, Uniko Studio’s Birthday Challenge and Seize the Birthday’s Anything Goes this week.
