Embossing Folder Difference!

I made the bottom card back in August and loved it. When I got the Honeycomb Embossing Folder, I decided I would add that to the butterfly card and see how I liked it. The result......I couldn't believe what a difference using an embossing folder on the card. I loved it even more! What do you think? 

Happy Thursday! One more work day and then the weekend:)

In-between games this weekend, my time will be spent making valentines. Noah wants the s'more valentines for his class and Carter wants the iPod valentines for his. And, they both need boxes. Last year I made Lily a Wheaties box featuring her, so this year it is Noah's turn to get one. If I remember to take pics, I'll post the craft goodies:) I know it is only Thursday, but I have my list already made for the weekend!

Dreams

This card was one my stamp club made in January. The Cloudy Day Embossing folder was used on the white card stock and then butterflies were punched out using the butterfly punch and the small butterfly punch. I stamped dreams on white card stock and then punched it out with the word window punch. This card would work for a graduation card or change the sentiment for any occasion. With the rainbow butterflies, it would brighten someone's day!

Summer Starfruit

I created this card for a color challenge, but I was too late to link it up. I thought I would still share it with you. I'm really liking the summer starfruit color. It seems to be everywhere in the stores. I bought pillows for our couches in this color since I like it so much! And, Lily wants to redo her room using this color.....we will see if I'll tackle that project.

The card is die cut with the square scallop die. The image is from the Just Believe stamp set. I stamped the butterflies on tempting turquoise and summer starfruit and then punched them out with the small butterfly punch. I added summer starfruit ribbon at the top.

One Layout, Three Cards

As I was coming up for cards for my stamp class/club, I made the above cards. They didn't make the "cut," but I like how just changing up the color scheme changes the "feel" of the cards. The top one is calming and the other two are fun:) The small butterfly punch was used to make the butterflies....I love that punch!

Personal Note/Update:

I know I've been slacking again on the blog! I've been having a hard time finding TIME to stamp, take pictures and post:( I even have things to post, but I just don't have the pictures taken:( On a personal note, I still do not have a voice! (For those of you who came to my Friday class) My family said it doesn't help when I have to talk to everyone at their sporting events and occasionally holler at the ref and Lily when she is playing:) I have subbed every day this week, so I feel bad for the students who have to listen to me! Onto the "finger" issues.....Carter smashed his finger with weights. It is looking better, but he will probably lose his fingernail. The tip of his finger is black and blue. It still hurts if he hits it on something. Lily jammed her finger at her game on Sunday. She is healing quickly and can almost bend it completely without it hurting! When she sits in class, she practices bending it further and further....she is doing her own physical therapy with it. That's it for our aches and pains!!! The good news is that the Gopher basketball team finally won!!!!!
