I spent some time Sunday afternoon making some cards.  I had a few leftover kits from crop night, so I thought I would focus on those.  I took a few ideas from Pinterest and put my own spin on them.

For my versions, i used a ton of random paper from my stacks and a few Stampin' Up products.  I left off the ribbon in favor of a more streamlined one-layer (but not really) look.  My only complaint is that I don't own a circle punch between 1 1/4" and 2".  I really need to add that to my Stamp Club order for February.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stampin' Up Wacky Wishes
• Inks: SU Primrose Petals, SU Garden Green
• Cardstock: SU Primrose Petals, various scraps
• Tools: Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing Folder; 2" Circle Punch; 1 1/4" Circle Punch; 1" Circle Punch; SNAIL; Big Shot

I found an interestingly designed card on Pinterest, but couldn't find the original source.  Of course, this was after I had already made my own version of the card.  Oh well!  At least I can showcase my cards.  I played around with layering and shades of pink.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stampin' Up Morning Meadow; SU Flower Shop
• Inks: SU Primrose Petals; SU Regal Rose; SU Garden Green; SU Certainly Celery
• Cardstock: SU Primrose Petals, various scraps
• Accessories: Rhinestone jewels
• Tools: SU Pansy Punch; SNAIL; Dimensionals

I love the graduated colors of the original design and wanted to make my own interpretation.  I made a near copy of the original and then decided to play up with the placement of the butterflies for the second card.  I also used a ton of scraps for these.  The dimensions of the strips are 3/4" by 3 3/4", 3 1/2", and 3 1/4".

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stampin' Up Banner Greetings
• Inks: SU Primrose Petals
• Cardstock: Scraps
• Accessories: SU 2012-2014 In Color Dahlias
• Tools: SU Elegant Butterfly Punch; SNAIL; Glue dots

Hope you enjoyed the cards.  I definitely enjoyed making them.
