Work of Art with Butterflies

This is a card I made similar to cards I've seen on Pinterest so I wanted to create one of my own using the Work of Art stamp set and the Bitty Butterfly punch.  I also used the Label Bracket punch because after I had my card all done and stamped "You are a fabulous work of art" it left an edge of ink on my card that was not intended to be there.  So this punch fit exactly over the mistake.
I love how you can always cover up those mistakes somehow and the card still looks great, or at least I thought it turned out pretty good.  The ink colors I used were Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive and Pacific Point which are all from the Brights Collection.  I used the same colors of cardstock for the butterflies and added a Pearl Basic Jewel to each one.  The base of my card is Tangerine Tango with a layer of Basic Black and then I stamped on the Whisper White.

Banner Blast

 

Finally able to post some cards I've been making now that I have a new computer.

My old computer "bit the dust" and I just got a new one Friday night and it is Windows 8, so it is taking a bit to adjust to it.  This is a card that I just made for a monthly swap group I was in.

It is made with the Sale-a-Bration set Banner Blast  in wood mount #133551 or clear mount #133554.  It is one of stamp set one of the sets you can earn FREE by spending $50 in net sales. It also be coordinated with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch in Catalog on page 180.  There is also a Banner Blast Punch #133551 in the SAB catalog that coordinates with the Banner Blast set.  All SAB items are earned Free with every $50 spent. The colors I used are Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla and I used two new embossing folders.  The one I did with the Cherry Cobbler card stock is called Decorative Dots #133520 and is an item you can also earn FREE during Sale-a-Bration.  The other embossing folder is called Scallops Textured Impressions #132971 which I used on the Very Vanilla card stock and it can be purchased in the 2014 Occasions catalog.  The "Happy Heart Day" is from the stamp set Tags 4 You Wood #131820 or clear #131823 from the Carryover List from the Holiday Catalog and I used the Label Bracket Punch #132153 which is also on the Carryover List.

I placed a Cherry Cobbler Candy Dot #130932 from the Regals, on one of the banners.

Christmas Blue Ball Jars

I purchased these blue Mason Ball Vintage Style Jars at Kmart and my daughter saw them at Michaels.  They can also be found at Target. It is their 100th Anniversary and I saw some cute samples made by Sandi MacIver and knew I had to make some of them myself.  I used the Festive Flurry stamp and Framelit Bundle #133284 (w) #133285 (c).  I also used the Circle Framelits #130911 and Silver Glimmer Paper #124005.  I put the 3/4" Chevron Ribbon in Island Indigo #131151 around jar rim and added the Silver 1/8" Ribbon #132137.   I stamped a snowflake and attached it to the top with Dimensionals and added the Frosted Finish Embellishment #132150.  I used the stamp set Tags for You #133293 (w) #133294 (c).  I used Tempting Turquoise ink and used the Label Bracket Punch #132153 to punch it out and adhere to the Silver Glimmer Snowflakes.  On the other side, I stamped "A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You' with the Christmas Tagables #134623 Photopolymer stamp set.  I filled it with chocolate, of course!
