Sizzix and Catherine Pooler Rainbow Arches and Bright Butterflies

 Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com to share inspiration for the latest collaboration release between Catherine Pooler and Sizzix.

💥This entire release is absolutely adorable! Be sure to check it out.💥

Check out what I made and scroll down for supplies used.

My baby card duo uses the Rainbow Arches die set combined with the Birthday Bunting die set for the BABY letters. The soft muted neutral colors and patterns are from the A2 Darling paper pad.

This paper pad is perfect for those expecting parents who want to be surprised with the gender!

I think it's fun to die cut both solids and patterns with the rainbow pieces. This paper pad has several solids that coordinates with the patterns making it super easy.

-------------------------------------- 

This simple butterfly card uses the new Border Party Circles die set and the Bright Butterflies Stamp and die set. I used a strip of paper from the A2 Bouquet paper pad and colored the butterfly to match! I die cut the body and trimmed a strip of Onyx Glitter paper for a pop of sparkle!

I love how all of these turned out!

Sending Love Watercolor Butterfly card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a fun butterfly card using the Butterfly Silhouettes BetterPress Plates and Die set which is from the new Lisa Horton's Wildflowers collection for Spellbinders.

Check out my card and scroll down for a list of supplies.

Both the butterfly and sentiments are from the Butterfly Silhouettes BetterPress Plate and Die set. The butterflies are actually a 2 step process with the registration guide. For my card, I used the second layer only. I pressed the butterfly and sentiment on to Bristol Smooth as I knew I wanted to watercolor the butterfly and I have the best luck with it.

 I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to color the butterfly. I am a simple colorer, so I drop a bit of color at one end and use my size small waterbrush and drag the color to the rest of the area.

To add to the whimsy of the butterfly, I used the same colors and die cut lots of tiny flowers. These flowers are from the Garden Builder die set, but any small flower will work. I added a few gem accents as the final touches. I love how this turned out!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Breaking up is hard to do...FSJ retirement list is released!

Hi everyone!  Well, it's that time of year.  When we say goodbye to some old stamps, dies and embellishments to make room for all the new ones which will launch on July 1st with the new catalog!  It's bittersweet.  FSJ has released the list of retiring product which can be found HERE.  

Today I'm sharing a card using one of the stamp sets I'll miss the most... Butterfly Prints.  I've long had a love affair with butterflies and this set (which also has a set of coordinating dies) is one of my favorites.  EDITED: The Butterfly Prints set has sold out!  Better grab these sets while there available!

Also retiring is the set, Bird Tweet (which also has a coordinating die set) and I've used one of the leaf images on this card.  The sentiment is from the retiring Day Notes Sticky Strip. 

Here is a link to the Shop and all the retiring products if you want to browse the sale!!  And while your at it, there is a new Clearance Rack section on the website worth checking out as well!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

All products used are Fun Stamper Journey.  I am not a Journey Coach, if you wish to purchase FSJ product you can find a coach near you by clicking on the "find a Coach" at the top of the main page.
