Sympathy Card

One of the guys I work with lost his Mother, this is the Sympathy Card I created for him.

I found this technique on Mary Fish's Blog, she even has a video to go with it.I used the new Elegant Butterfly Punch and the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack for the butterfly.  The stamp set I used was Petite Pairs and Polka Dot Parade DSP.  I used the Butterfly Sizzlet and punched some extra butterflies to go inside the card.  I added a strip of the Polka Dot Parade DSP to the inside and on the flap of the envelope to bring it all together.

Aurora's B-Day Card

My walkin' partner at work had a birthday on Labor Day.  This is the card I gave her today:

She loves butterflies so I used the new butterfly punch.  The Papillion Portpourri for the stamped images onto in-color CS.  The circles were cut from Polka Dot Parade DSP.  The Happy Birthday was stamped in Gumball Green using the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set.  The card base is Gumball Green CS and then a layer of Basic Black CS.  She loved her card!

I got the inspiration from luv-2-stamp groups'  Barbara Hebert at Barbara Hebert Designs.
