    Sending Butterflies Love and Big Hugs

    Sending Butterflies Love and Big This card was made come the bits and pieces. Can you believe it? This Sending Butterflies Love and Big Hugs was ALL from the leftovers. I was shocked when it fell into place! I did for Coffee and Cards a couple weeks back. Using the Brilliant Wings and the coordinating stamp set. The colored Heat Embossing for the Butterflies.

    February’s First Girl’s Night card, love that DSP!

    February’s First Girl’s Night card I had fun at February’s First Girl’s Night. I do an online version, grab yours for this month!! A little information… You will make two of two different designs (4 cards total). Last month you would have gotten two of these, and then Tuesday you will see the second design. You get all the punched out pieces, die cuts, enough twine and cardstock pieces to make two. You need to add your stamps, ink and adhesive. Sadly, however, the Berry Delightful DSP (designer series paper) was only for Sale-a-Bration which ended on Sunday night (2/28). I sure hope that you did not wait. Insides!! Erica…
