This card was inspired by a card that Cindy Elam posted on Pinterest, only I used different colors.
The stamp set is from Butterfly Basics. The butterfly is from the Butterflies Thinlet Dies which can be purchased as a Bundle from the Occasions Catalog 2015. The Designer Series Paper is called Painted Blooms from the Occasions catalog. The main card base is Rose Red and so is the ink and butterfly. We did this card at my recent stamp camp too.

Lotus Blossom French Fry Boxes
Yesterday at my stamp camp, we made these adorable little French fry boxes inspired by a pin I saw on Pinterest by Judy DiScipio. I gave the guests a choice as to "birthday" or "thank you" and today I made one for Valentine's Day. The Frency fry box is Cherry Cobbler. Other colors used were Real Red and Melon Mambo. We also used the Oval Framelits and the Decorative Label Punch using the Lotus Blossom SAB set. We filled them with candy kisses.

Butterfly Basics
This is a card that I made after being inspired by a few cards I saw posted on Pinterest. Christine Miller posted one. It was her butterfly that caught my attention. The other card on Pinterest was by Kay Kalthoff and I liked her layout of her card. I used the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP to cut out my Butterfly Thinlet. Then with a sponge, I inked it up with Old Olive and Island Indigo and then wiped off the excess. This set is called Butterfly Basics from the Occasions Catalog and the Butterflies Thinlet can be purchased as a Bundle on page 26. Besides using the DSP for the background, the bottom part is the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder on page 19 of the Occasions catalog. The ribbon is the Island Indigo 3/4" Chevron from the annual catalog.

Painted Blooms DSP and Butterfies Thinlets
Today I bought a 12" x 12" white frame at my nearby craft store and then came home and inserted this beautiful Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!. I cut out two Butterflies from the Butterfly Thinlets from Rose Red and Blackberry Bliss and another small Rose Red butterfly and attached it to the outside glass with Glue Dots. It is now hanging in my living room making me think of Spring. Love it!

Lotus Flower Valentine
I just can't enough of this stamp set Lotus Flower and Irresistably Yours Specialty Designer Paper from the 2015 Sale-a-Bration catalog. This time I used the striped design using the Brayer again but in Coastal Cabana ink, but then I put the paper in the Happy Hearts Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot before placing it to the front of the card. I love the result! To make the flower, I used Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo ink and used the Framelit Banners.
Sheltering Tree for Valentines
Today was club workshop and this is one of the cards we made. It is similar to the card I made before, but used Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso ink.

This paper has a glossy finish with 6 different designs so I used my Brayer in Tempting Turquoise ink on it and then wiped off the excess with a tissue. It's like magic!!! The stamp set is also FREE called Lotus Blossom, that only comes in Photopolymer and is a set of 7. First, I used Basic Black ink with the first stamp. Second, I used Tempting Turquoise ink with the second stamp. Third, I inked up the third stamp with Tempting Turquoise, but stamped off on scrap paper before stamping on my card. From the annual catalog, I used Banner Framelits.

You Plus Me
Lotus Blossom with Happy Hearts Embossing Folder
Happy New Year!!! It is time to share some of my latest cards that I have made from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs, both of which begin on January, 6, 2015. As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder products and of course earn free products from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.
This was a card I made using the colors Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise. The Lotus Blossom stamp set is from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and can be earned free if you spend $50 in net sales. The lotus blossom is a 2-step stamping Photopolymer stamp set, but actually it is more of a 3-step stamping. Each stamp is numbered so that you know which one to start with. With this particular stamp set, you start with your darkest ink to your lightest ink. The Happy Hearts embossing folder and the "Be Mine" from a new set called You Plus Me both are in the Occasions catalog.
Here are the full directions for this card:
Stamp set: Lotus Blossom (SAB) and You Plus Me
(Occasions)
Cardstock:
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Always
Artichoke
Other: Big Shot, Banner Framelits, Happy Heart
Embossing Folder, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals
1. Base of card is Pacific Point cardstock cut
at 8½” x 5½” and scored in the middle at 4¼”.
2. The second layer is Tempting Turquoise and
it is cut at 4” x 5 ¼” and inserted into the Happy Heart Embossing Folder and
run through the Big Shot and then adhered to the front of the card with Snail
Adhesive.
3. With the Banner Framelits using the largest
framelit, cut out a Pacific Point banner, and the second from the largest, cut
out a Whisper White banner.
4. For the lotus flower, there are 3 stamps to
create this beautiful flower and each one as a notch at the very top so that
you can align them perfectly and since they are Photopolymer, it makes it even
easier to align each stamp. Start with
the darkest ink first which would be Pacific Point. This will be the inside petals of the flower
and the smallest stamp. Next, ink the
second image stamp with Tempting Turquoise and stamp over the first Pacific
Point image.
5. For the third stamp, ink it up with
Tempting Turquoise and then stamp off before stamping onto the flower.
6. Stamp “Be Mine” from the You Plus Me stamp
set in Pacific Point right above your flower.
Stem is inked up with Always Artichoke.
7. Layer banners together with Snail Adhesive
and attach to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
