I’d like to extend a big welcome to our Guest Designer, Sharon! – frommycraftdesk.blogspot.co.uk/ Make sure you check out her beautiful octagonally shaped card!
I have to say that I have combined some of my card-making favorites in this card today. The color red, butterflies, hearts, white space and die cutting/partial die cutting!
Here is my card.
You can see that I “Shaped My Love” in several ways on this card.
I used a Happy Little Stampers Butterfly Die to create a mask and to do some partial die cutting.
- I rounded the top left corner of my card.
- I added heart shapes to fill in the body of the butterfly. To accomplish this, I die cut some removable sticky label and masked off a butterfly and then stamped hearts in the negative area of the mask.
- Then, I double stamped (in red and then in black) over the hearts, and inside the mask, with one of the butterfly stamps from Butterfly Birthday.
4. I lightly inked up the butterfly stamp in red and stamped over the hearts.
5 . Then, I inked the edges of the stamp in black and stamped again.
6. Next, I partially die cut the butterfly.
7. I stamped the sentiment with a stamp from HLS’ Thinking of You.
I hope that you have been inspired to play along with us this game. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members blogs.
Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa
Remember to keep it Clean And Simple
I am inspired by the hearts and all of the white at TCC 66:

I really love the way you stamped the butterfly with the hearts on the top and trailing below. The partial die cutting is brilliant, and the elegant sentiment looks great with the funkiness of the rest of your creation.

Loving all the techniques you used on this card Melissa! Filling your partially die cut butterfly with hearts is so creative – what an inspiring card. That red sure looks so good against the crisp white. Thank you for the shout-out and it really was an honour to join all you talented AAA girls as guest designer this week xx
