    Afternoon of Butterfly Birthday Bash,two more ideas.

    Afternoon of Butterfly Birthday Bash. The afternoon of the Butterfly Birthday Bash started with a break for lunch. Make your own sandwiches Ham, Turkey or Roast Beef.

This card was right after lunch. It needed to be not too complicated for that after lunch nap needed time. haha. Now, I know that I am not the only one!!…

    What is the count?? I will have to go back and look… but let’s start here… The ribbon and retired die cut was in the container. First I layered the Crushed Curry die cut on Daffodil Delight. How did I get it to match up?? I went old school… That is correct, I traced it with a pencil. However not just some fancy pencil. The ones that you actually have to sharpen. haha certain to be careful and get every little curve. Grabbed the scissors and FUSSY CUT!

    Part Two

    Remember Trevor’s Birthday card from last week?? There was a second version of that card. Using all the same basic pieces… just a little bling and femininity. Which version do you like?? The Well Said (bundle-150609) gives you a lot of bang for your buck!! The bundle has 51 stamps and 24 dies, which include the friend, leaf pattern and both the butterfly on this and the bird on the masculine version. Add in the Layering Ovals (141706) which includes scallops and simple ovals. I will sure miss this wood grain DSP. Have a Great Day getting Crafty!!

    A Chicken with wood?? Happy Birthday

    The rooster from Home to Roost is a favorite for me. Shocking, I do love my chickens. I know no butterflies on here, Look tomorrow though… sorry. How do you like the wood grain with the Gray Granite?? Mixing the different wood tones is adventurous. Why?? maybe because it does not “match”? The ladies at girls night enjoyed having this “masculine” card for a Birthday. The rooster and grass are from the sale-a-bration FREE catalog with a $50 purchase.
