It has been so nice in Minnesota!  Grass is getting green.  Trees are budding.  Perennials are breaking through.  Pretty soon, we'll see butterflies. . . but, they were also out in my studio this week.

I love how this card turned out.  I saw a similar layout somewhere and added a few touches.  Here's what I used;

Cardstock & Ink;  Concord Crush, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, First Edition DSP

Stamp Sets;  Fresh Vintage, Blessings from Heaven

Punches:  2 1/2" circle and scallop edge

Sizzix Die; Beautiful Butterflies, Beautiful Wings

In the spirit of using all parts, check out what the inside of the card looks like: 

Cute!!

Keep in mind a very important thing.  Concord Crush is a 2010-2012 In Color.  So that means in May you will have your last chance to stock up on this color and the other 2010-2012 In Colors.  Stock up.  Don't forget your re-inkers!!!

Blessings!

Check out May’s box of the month!  You’ll believe that spring is here with this decorating your table!  I used the Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive Top Note die along with the the Box #2 Die, Beautiful Butterflies Die and the Birds & Blooms Sizzlets.  May day is coming don’t you want to honor your family and friends with this creation?

I used scraps to make the flowers – one of the best things about the Big Shot is that you get to use your scraps! 

This was one of the boxes in my Summer "Boxing" class.  Did you miss it?  Give me a call and we can work something out.
