Spring Flower using the Window Box Thinlits

Hello Stampers!
I was going through my Framelits and Thinlits and I realized I have not used the beautiful Window Box Thinlits yet.  I love the top of the box design!

I used it to create this beautiful cut out in my Whisper White card stock.

To add the color behind it, I simply used Sponge Daubers and rubbed some Peakaboo Peach, Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum on a 3x3 piece of Thick Whisper White.

I popped it up on dimensionals and added a Pearl to the center.  Then I ask, what would a beautiful spring flower be without a butterfly on it?  I just had to add an Elegant Butterfly punched out in Flirty Flamingo.

So pretty!  I wasn't sure what I wanted to use this card as so I just left the sentiment off until I need it.  I am thinking, wedding, anniversary, encouragement...the list goes on!

Thank you for joining me today!

This sentiment says is all when you have had a great day!  LOL  Family get together's can more than be this day.  Especially when you add a water slide!  LOL

Mother's day card...WITH PICTURE!

Hello Stampers!  Yay!!  My computer is fixed, it turned out to be the internet and not my computer.  I guess that was good thing. 
Here is the card I wanted to share with you today but my computer thought other wise this morning!  LOL 

Card Recipe:~All Stampin' Up! products were used for this card.
This stamp set is another one that will be retiring, It's called Gifts of Kindness.  Teeny Tiny Wishes was the set I got the sentiment from.
 
Card Stock: Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Whisper White, and Calypso Coral.  Crisp Cantaloup will be retiring also.

Ink:  Basic Black Stazon and Calypso Coral.

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits folder, and Modern Label punch (both retiring!) along with the Word Window Punch, and Designer Buttons, Regals.  The Heart Boarder punch is still available in the Occasions catalog until June 2,2015.  It might be returning in the new Annual Catalog coming out in June, but I am not sure.  :) 
Snail and 2 Way glue was used to adhere the card together.

Thank you for coming back for the actual cool picture of my Mother's Day card.

Mother's day card ~

Hello and Happy Monday Stampers!!

WOW, can you believe Mother's day is right around the corner?  Yikes!  LOL  I am working on my preschool lessons and realized I needed to get going on Mother's day projects, for both school and my Stampin' Up! projects.

The stamp set, Love & Sympathy and butterflies below, will be retiring!!  Love this stamp set it's such a simple but nice set!  The embossing folder in this picture is from Cuttlebug. 
I liked this card so much I wanted to make a simple thinking of you card for one of my special teacher friends. 

The embossing folder I used for this card is actually available but won't be for long!!  It's on the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack.  The Butterfly folder is also retiring.  The pearl I colored with a Sharpie marker.  :)

Butterfly-Friendship card~

Hi Stampers!
Here is an easy 20 minute card!  Ok, not even 20 minutes because in 20 minutes I had 6 of them done.  :)  It's so simple! 

What I used are four of the 5 In Colors that will be on the retiring list coming out at the end of this month!  Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Costal Cabana.  Stamped a butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set on Whisper White card stock, cut around them using my Paper Snips and then stamped a sentiment from the stamp set, Blessed By God.  I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the wings with the 2 Way Glue and that was it!  How fun was that? 

Don't forget to find me on Facebook as well, www.facebook.com/starduststamper .

Friendship is like a Sheltering Tree~

Hi Stampers!
Here is my project for today.  It's made with the Sheltering Tree photopolymer set available in the Occasions catalog.  I have been enjoying the nice 'warm' weather and it's given me spring fever!  I look forward to the trees budding out with sweet apple blossoms.  That is what gave me the idea for this card.  :) 

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral, Whisper White
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black,
Stamp Set: Sheltering Tree
Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Big Shot, Stampin' Dimensionals, 2 Way Glue, Snail adhesive, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

I also stamped another one and used instead of Calypso Coral for the 'blossoms' I used Blushing Bride, it made for a pretty pastel look along with the Dazzling Diamonds sprinkled over the card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Hi my crafty friends!
Here is my project I wanted to share with you today.  Getting a head start on summer birthday cards I decided I would make a number card.

Card Recipe:
I cut the number 3 from the Cricut, and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder.
I stamped and punched out three little Butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set with the matching punch Bitty Butterfly. 
Happy Birthday sentiment and flowers are from retired Stampin' Up sets. 

Thanks for stopping by!
