Stampin' Up! and Pinterest

My card today is a CASE from Pinterest - I pinned this card,  because I love the simplicity of it - and here is my version:


I have been collecting some paint card samples both for some painting (our grandson now enjoys a classy grey, white and red bedroom - perfect for a cool teenager!) and because I like to check out the latest colour ranges.  I used a green palette chart for my card, cut a Memory Box leaf die from a grassy green colour, and punched my squares from three other charts, then stamped a butterfly from the SU! Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coloured it with Copics.  I also used a Stampin' Up! background stamp - Hardwood - for the popped up base - stamped with Distress Ink bundled sage.  The understated sentiment is by Studio Calico.  I like this typewriter font for a non-gender specific card.  You can't see it, but Wink of Stella on the butterfly gives it the perfect amount of shine.

      Thank you Maarit! Sometimes we see something we just have to CASE, and this was the case with this card - lol! BTW - I used to be a teacher in my early working life - Primary School. I see lots of teachers among the crafters, like you! Hugs, Ann

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
