Butterfly Bouquet Collection is here!

 
Bring in the beauty of nature with the artistic designs of the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and coordinating designer series paper, along with textured specialty paper that will put a pop of brilliance on every project. The Butterfly Brilliance Collection will be available for purchase March 2 — May 3, 2021.  The stamp set and dies will be returning in the new upcoming annual catalog - but the beautiful designer series paper are only available during the promotion period.

I've chosen to make this line of products my charity items for the month of March.  100% of my profits from the purchase of these products as well as the purchase of the "F" size acrylic block will go to support anti-human trafficking efforts through the Tim Tebow foundation - you can see full details on this HERE.  So throughout this month you will see wonderful crafting ideas both here and on my Facebook Live videos!  Here is my first card made with these products and shared this week.

The dies cut out six butterflies at once (either stamped or from the DSP) - so it is very quick and easy to use.  To add to the beauty of those popped up wings - I covered them with shimmer from Wink of Stella. 

Then to make the card even more special - I added a fun little butterfly surprise to the inside of my card.  It swings over to the right and out of the way so that you can write your message to the recipient.

I really love how it turned out and can't wait to play even more and share with you.

You can see the video showing  how I put this all together HERE.

5 30 2020 Coffee and a card... use up those scraps!

So I've been doing Facebook Live Coffee and a Card - to keep everyone engaged.  Each time I share a card, or technique, or in the case of my new upcoming one information on the new catalog and my catalog shares.  If you are on Facebook and interested - watch for this picture - I try to send out a day or two before I go live and again about an hour before as a reminder.

On the 30th of May I had one about using up some of your Designer Series Paper scraps - and below is the cards I made -

 

From the last card kit I offered I had a bunch of scraps left over from the kits - so I wanted to do something with them  - and this is what I came up with.  The base was in Whisper White a normal A2 base (dimensions in the video); then the Lovely Lipstick layer 5 1/4" x 4".  So the DSP strips for the vertical card were three 5" x 1 1/4" pieces.  If you line them up right next to each other - the fit perfectly with a nice border.

For the horizontal card I used four 3 3/4" x 1 1/4" strips and did the same thing.  You could also use five 3 3/4" x 1" strips or even ten 3 3/4" x 1/2" strips.  Then finish as you like.  I'm sharing the video here in case you'd like to make some cards of your own to use up strips.  Enjoy -

You can join me on my Crazy Stamping Lady Facebook page - HERE! on Wednesday, June 3, at 9:30 AM (MST) for my next Coffee and a Card mentioned above.  Also on Friday, June 5, at 9:30 AM (MST) I am doing my second mystery stamping.  I'll be putting out the first clue soon on what you need to gather to join me and craft along - so watch for that.  
In the meantime - have a great day, stay happy, stay healthy and stay creative!  See you soon ~Maureen

Witty-cisms and Scalloped Notecards

Hey - I did another Facebook Live this week - here's a recap - 

For today's video I featured a couple wonderful, but overlooked, products that are on the last chance list (while supplies last).   You can watch the video here - and please if you watch, let me know and comment with some love!

https://www.facebook.com/818228691544155/videos/601347077396574/

So I wanted to show you some of what we did   -  During the video we made this card.  I showed how it went together and gave some tips.

And I also shared these cards - all made with the Witty-cisms stamp set and the Scalloped Notecards and envelopes.  Same layout - 

Then after I made a few of these for boy and girl - this one is going out to my nephew and his wife who just had their second baby boy.

Here they all are - I finished the cards after the video by making 10 more and it took me only about an hour to complete all of them.  Would also be a great gift set to give to a friend!

In case you'd like to duplicate - here is the supply list  -

And the measurements - 

Enjoy - smile - be creative and be thankful!  Always Stamping, Maureen
