Butterfly Note Card Set


Hi there!  I hope all is well with you and yours.  I'm taking a break from playing the challenges this week but wanted to pop in to share a recent project.  I just shipped a set of note cards that I made for a client who requested simple notes with a butterfly theme.  She mentioned that she loves the color royal blue so I made two different designs and incorporated that specific request in one of them.  The first design is all white and involves dry embossing with a bit of sparkle added through a tiny bit of glitter.

The second design features a dry embossed (several embossed patterns used for variety) fabric-covered butterfly die cut embellished with pearls.  I included a close-up shot of one butterfly patterns to show the texture. I used one of three different embossing folders on each of the blue butterfly cards to give the cards a slightly different look.



Finally, I created a hand crafted box to package the cards (tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers).  A butterfly was die cut from the same paper as the box and adhered to the top of the box. After taking the photos, I decided to finish the box off with a royal blue satin ribbon (wish I had taken a photo of it as it added some color to this primarily monochromatic project).




Thanks for checking in!

Stay inspired,

Sabrina

Papillon Potpourri


Hi again!  I am back with a second entry for the CAS-ual Fridays CFC57 Clear as Day challenge to use vellum or acetate in the design.  This card was also submitted to the Splitcoast Stampers CAS Monday challenge which featured a black and white elegant swim suit as inspiration.  I literally just received a new stash of goodies from Stampin’ Up!© on Monday and began playing right away.  This simple card is the result--I absolutely love butterflies (um, can you tell?) and I could not wait to open the Papillon Potpourri stamp set as well as the coordinating Butterfly punch (not used for this design).

Stay inspired,

Sabrina

Beautiful Butterfly


Babies are such a blessing and there is nothing I enjoy more than celebrating a new arrival!  I made this card for a friend’s baby shower last weekend.  I wanted to go with something a bit different from the usual pink color expected for a precious baby girl.  I love butterflies and discovered that my friend does too. I was thrilled to find out that my design fit into the theme of the shower--down to the color purple.  This design incorporates another love of mine--a bit of sparkle--from a few coordinating colors of glitter. I also created a coordinating gift tag for a gift box given to the Mom-to-be.

Stay inspired,
Sabrina
