Speaking of butterflies, I actually raised 2 Monarchs this year from eggs.

It was so fun and rewarding.  

I am planting an entire Milkweed Garden next Spring 

to help improve the numbers of the Monarchs.

They are sooooooo beautiful!

Thanks for flitting by!

Coffee Perks

Good Monday Morning!

 Back on the Dies R Us Blog again to share a new card with you!

 

 

 

I don't know why I never had a coffee cup die before....I ADORE COFFEE!!!  I got this cute one, Coffee On The Go by Memory Box.  My front panel measures 4 x 5 inches.  Using a Die-Namics Rectangle die I created my frame.  I lined my Coffee Cup die up all around and cut out 6.  Layering the back of the frame with White card stock.  This die even cup even comes with a little cuff to decorate your cup with.    

 

I added 2 additional Coffee Cups in Turquoise.  Each cup is decorated with a sweet little heart from the Homespun Heart die by Memory Box.  I also added a portion of the Heart String die by Penny Black to the top of my frame.  Sentiment by Great Impressions, Nicest Perks was stamped on Vellum in Tempting Turquoise ink and then heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I always heat emboss when stamping on Vellum. 

 

I will also be entering this card in the Challenges at:

Wrapped Flowers

Good Monday Morning!

 

Back again with another post at the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.     

Today's card is for Mother's Day, which is fast approaching.  This year it is on May 8th.

 

Flowers are always such a sure bet for Mother's Day!

 

I first created a paper cone to place my bouquet of poppies inside.  I used the beautiful Mix N' Match Poppies die from Frantic Stamper.  Gorgeous!  I die cut them out of water color paper and then proceeded to paint them.  Glued several on the cone then layered a piece of tulle, giving more dimension, and then I added more pretty yellow poppies.  Arranged a few of the die leaves around and sentiment tag, Die-Namics, Stitched Traditional Tags.  Decorated the cone itself with Polka Dot Designer Paper, Baker's Twine and a pretty little Heart Charm.     Found some beautiful Designer Paper in my stash with gold accents and created my background.  Sheer Yellow Ribbon and mini Candy Dot for accents.

I knew the cone needed just one more embellishment so I grabbed the Musical Stave die by Amy Design.  I cut it out of Toner Paper and then ran it through my Mini Minc Machine with Gold Foil.....WOW!  The detail is AHmazing!!!

I also added a butterfly using the Butterfly Set # 2 by, Dies R Us.  I cut 2 different ones, one in teal and the other from Toner Paper, again running it through my Mini Minc Machine with Gold Foil.  Another WOW!!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
