October Month of Cards Week 3 - Part 2 (Butterfly Edition)

For October's big crafting goal, I am attempting to make a different designed card everyday. Instead of flooding everyone's feed with tons of posts, I am just going to do a weekly wrap-up post with my cards. I went a little crazy with my butterfly stamps and punches. So I thought a separate post was in order...

Day #17

A simple one of stamping creates a striking visual.

Stamps: Papillon Potpurri
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry
Cardstock: Whisper White; Kraft
Accessories:
Tools:

Day #18

I grabbed a ton of random scraps and went to town punching butterflies. It might be hard to see, but the butterflies are two layers. They definitely pop in person.

Stamps: Petite Pairs
Inks: Pacific Point; Melon Mambo
Cardstock: Whisper White; Kraft; random scraps
Accessories:
Tools: Elegant Butterfly Punch; Bitty Butterfly Punch

Day #19

I wanted to use my butterfly punches again, but in a different way. The colored paper all have a subtle design to them. Layering the butterflies helped to change the design just enough to give this card it's own day.

Stamps: A Word for You
Inks: Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Kraft; Very Vanilla; random scraps
Accessories: Brights candy dots; Gold Chevron Washi Tape (not SU)
Tools: Elegant Butterfly Punch; Hexagon Punch (banner ends)

October Month of Cards Week 3

Day #13

I loved the look of monochromatic yet differently patterned papers mixing together. The hexagon shapers add more visual interest to this card.

Stamps: Six Sided Sampler
Inks: Mossy Meadow
Cardstock: Mossy Meadow; tons of green scraps
Accessories:
Tools: Hexagon Punch

Day #14

Trying to use more of my giant scrap collection. I only had to cut this pattern paper pieces down a bit to fit on the card. Not quite happy with the gaps, but I'll deal with it.

Stamps: Petite Pairs
Inks: Mossy Meadow
Cardstock: Mossy Meadow; random green scraps

Day #15

A fun layered rainbow of mosaic shapes. I love the big washi tape on this card.

Stamps: A Word for You
Inks: Rich Razzleberry
Cardstock: Kraft; Whisper White; random scraps
Accessories: Gold Chevron Washi Tape (not SU)
Tools: Mosaic Punch

Day #16

I decided to dive into my scraps again to make a fun birthday cake card. The scraps looked a little plain until I added the gold glitter tape. Very sparkly in person.

Stamps: Sweet Essentials; Petite Pairs
Inks: Melon Mambo
Cardstock: Melon Mambo; Whisper White; random scraps
Accessories: Gold Glitter Tape (not SU)
Tools: Corner Rounder

August PL Swaps (Part 3)

I joined a Project Life Swap group on Facebook a few months back and have really been inspired. Basically every month, the admins post swap themes (8-10 usually). You sign up for how many you want and commit to making usually 10 cards utilizing the theme. Before the due date, you send your cards to the swap host. She collects everyone’s cards, sorts them, and sends you back a packet of cards.

This month, I joined eleven swaps. I'll be showing four of the swaps today:

Embossed Stamp -- I started with a large background polka dot stamp in Baked Brown Sugar. I then added stamped and heat embossed the coffee cup and coffee bean using Early Espresso powder. I liked that it didn't come out at as a completely clean image. The smudges add character. I stamped the "Coffee Run!" in Midnight Muse. Finally I added a gold sequin and gold flitter tape to jazz up the card a bit.

Birds -- For the bird theme, I knew I wanted to use my birdcage stamps, but had to play with them for awhile for inspiration. I settled on stamping lighting in Crumb Cake onto the pink gingham paper. That allowed me to layer on the quote (Primrose Petal) and bird (Early Espresso). As a finishing touch, I added some baker's twine in pink. I really love this card!

Stripes -- The stripe theme shouted washi tape to me. So I grabbed some fun different patterns and different colors and started layering. This set took forever to finish, but I like the fun stripes. I completed the card with a "This Week" stamp and some enamel dots.

Washi, stamp, and sequins -- My final swap of the month challenged me to use washi tape, a stamp, and sequins. That's a lot of stuff for one card, but i think I nailed it. I started with some cute lightly patterned blue paper, but realized that I didn't have enough to make the set. I search through the stack and found this striped paper that had a similar blue color. I stamped the Birthday Cake in Midnight Muse and made a sentiment banner in Blackberry Bliss using the A Word for You Stamp Set (retired). For the washi tape element, I layered a few different tapes underneath the sentiment for a cute peek-a-boo effect. Finally I adhered a few large fold sequins to complete the look. Really loving this set!

Comfort Cafe DSP Purge

Another retired DSP pack down... I'm really loving this set of cards.

Card #1

Accessories:
Tools: Labels Framelits (Spellbinders)

Card #2

Card Inspiration from North Shore Stamper

My version

I made two variations because I didn't have enough Midnight Muse Dahlias for both cards. I actually pulled these little heart wood veneers from my Take Ten PL kit. Perfect finishing touch.

Inks: Early Espresso
Cardstock: Summer Starfruit (retired); Midnight Muse (retired); Very Vanilla; Comfort Cafe (retired)

Card #3

Card Inspiration from DO Stamping with Dawn

Simple yet lovely. I realize that my favorite cards are usually pretty simplistic. At the last minute, I added the wood veneers for that extra little something.

Cardstock: Brown (Michael's); Very Vanilla; Comfort Cafe (retired)
Accessories: Brown ribbon (Joann's); bird and feather wood veneer

Accessories: 2012-2014 In Color Dahlias

Card #5

Card Inspiration from Stampin' Pretty

My version

This card is so bright and cheery! I don't have the ovals framelits (must put on wish list), so I substituted my new Starburst Framelits. And I don't have the same ornament stamp and punch, but I do have the old retired ones. Still works!

Cardstock: Very Vanilla; Midnight Muse (retired); Summer Starfruit (retired); Comfort Cafe DSP (retired)

This card really isn't my personal style, but it's pretty. I got the new hostess set I LIke You because watercolor images are so popular right now. This is the first time that I used it and I actually like it!

Card #9

Card Inspiration from Pretty Impact

Card #10

Card Inspiration from WeeBeeStampin4Fun

My version

Turns out I don't have Cajun Craze ink in either a marker or an ink pad. I dug through my stash and found a Really Rust marker from a few years back. It' snot the same color, but I think it coordinates nicely with the Cajun Craze card stock.

Cardstock: Cajun Craze; Very Vanilla; Early Espresso; Comfort Cafe DSP (retired)
Accessories: Gold brads

Paisley Petals DSP Purge

Another attempt to get rid of my retired DSP. This post's pack comes from a few years back. I don't remember how old Paisley Petals is, but I do know that it's been sitting in my DSP box for at least a year. After making the cards featured, I had a few scraps and some full sheets leftover. I ended up putting the full sheets up for grabs to other crafting friends. They kindly took them away from me. One more pack down.

Card #1

Card Inspiration from Stampin Sunshine

Loved the inspiration card. My version turned out okay, but not the best. I really need different layered framelits. I'm getting a bit sick of using my labels.

Gingham Garden DSP Purge

I made up my mind to use the very last of my Gingham Garden DSP. I had about two half sheets remaining. Of course i had to scour my Pinterest boards for some great inspiration. In total, I made six cards with just a few scraps leftover. Card #1

Card Inspiration from AE Stamps a Latte

My version

i flipped this card on the side because my paper cuts did not line up vertically. I may be a bit obsessive, but the Gingham Garden pattern just didn't look right turned the other way. I also realized that I was out of Island Indigo card stock, so I substituted Island Indigo DSP. Beyond that I tried to use my current supplies to give the card it's own look. My favorite part is the candy dots on the hexagons (they pop more in real life). I've had the Brights pack for awhile now and had yet to use it. I may have a supply hoarding problem. I love how they add just a little bit more dimension to the card.

Stamps: Six Sided Sampler
Inks: Island Indigo, So Saffron
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight; Gingham Garden DSP (retired); Brights Collection DSP; Whisper White
Accessories: Brights Collection Candy Dots
Tools: Hexagon Punch; Scallop Punch

Card #2

Card Inspiration from Too Cool Stamping

My version

I kept the basic design with just a few tweaks, mainly due to my own stash limitations. I realized that I need to had Melon Mambo to my ink pads to buy list. I am really warming up to that color.

Stamps: Sweet Essentials (retired); Morning Meadow (retired)
Inks: Regal Rose (retired)
Cardstock: Melon Mambo; Whisper White; Gingham Garden DSP (retired)
Accessories: Rhinestone Jewels
Tools: Hexagon Punch (banner ends); Pansy Punch

Card #3

Card Inspiration from Stamp with Amy K

My version

I think this is my favorite card of the set. I was going to make this a fall sentiment card, but after finishing it, I thought sympathy or get well card. It is so cool and calm. And I love all the layers. I changed up the color combo slightly from the example. Amy had Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. I went with Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. It gives just a bit of a softer look.

Stamps: Magnificent Maple (retired); Sweet Essentials (retired)
Inks: Old Olive
Cardstock: Old Olive; Pear Pizzaz; Gingham Garden DSP (retired)
Accessories: Brights Collection Candy Dots
Tools:

Card #4

Card Inspiration from Nutz About Stamping

My version

I had used up all the Island Indigo gingham check paper, I decided to do a bit of substitution for this card. With that change, I swapped out a ton of other pieces to create my own card.

Inks: Island Indigo
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight; Whisper White; Brights Collection DSP
Accessories: Brights Collection Candy Dots
Tools: 2" Circle Punch; Pansy Punch; Hexagon Punch (banner ends)

Stamps: A Word for You (retired)
Inks: Island Indigo
Cardstock: Melon Mambo; Gingham Garden DSP (retired); Brights Collection DSP
Accessories: Brights Collection Candy Dots
Tools: Hexagon Punch (banner ends); Pansy Punch

Inks: Old Olive
Cardstock: Old Olive; Pear Pizzazz; Gingham Garden DSP (retired)
Accessories: Brights Collection Button (retired edition)

Wednesday was crop night. Usually I get overwhlemed by my options and end up not getting much done. I also always forget something. This time I got smart at least on one point. Instead of throwing a ton of supplies into a big bag, I made little card kits in quart size ziploc bags. Everything I needed for a specific card except ink went into the bag. As an added organizational tool, I found six different inspirations on Pinterest to use. Unfortunately, I forgot my snail adhesive at home. Thankfully Judy let me borrow hers. Thanks friend! I'd say even with my forgetfulness, the night was a huge success. I made six cards using three of my designs. Love them!
