Butterflies

 Hi everyone

Boy, I have been busy working on some projects that are due very soon, so I haven't been able to post here. So Sorry.

I recently picked up a new border punch and played around and got a few different looks. This card has been on my table for a week or so. Thought I'd take a break and share this card with you. 

No sentiment on the front but I will add one when I get ready to mail it out. I made another card using the same punch and butterfly but got a different look. I will try to get that posted in a few days.

In the meantime, here is my card

Holiday Script

Hi Everyone,
I am finishing up on the last class I am offering  in 2013. It will be at Stamping Buddies in Cincinnati on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

Let me share with you a quick little card I made this afternoon.

I used a stamp called Holiday Script Background  from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped the card stock using VersaMark, covered the stamped image with Sticky Powder ( bought this from Gary Burlin at the last convention I attended.) When heating the powder, it melts the powder and it changes to a glue. Next I covered it with glitter. 

I added layers of lace , ribbon and strings of beads to the side of the card. As I put the beads down the border over the lace I wondered if I could make a bow using the beads. After a few different attempts I decided to remove a few beads where the knot would go. Yep, my Craft-Dee BowZ tool made that beaded bow. 

Here is a closer view of that bow.

I tried to make a multi-loop bow, however I couldn't get it to look right. I want to work at that some more, because I think I can make a multi-loop bow as well.

Well I need to finish up for my last class of the year. Thanks much for stopping by today, I'll be back soon.
