The weather here says winter but these butterflies definitely says spring!
The Gingham Gala Suite features Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. Included in the suite are the Gingham Gala 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Adhesive Backed Sequins, Cardstock Pack and a Sale-a-bration freebie, the co-ordinating Organdy Ribbon Comb Pack.
But the outstanding part of this suite is the Butterfly Gala Bundle. A matching stamp set and duet punch make creating effortless. And at only $45.75 for the punch and 18 image stamp set, it’s a bargain, too.
Grab the bundle, the designer series paper and free ribbon pack and start making clean and simple cards that will make you forget all about the temperature outside.

I coloured the butterflies with the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. I find these markers so easy to use. And don’t forget that the Blends can also be used to colour the Pearls and Rhinestones. For this card, I used my Basic Black Blends on the various sized pearls.
Don’t forget that during Sale-A-Bration, you can receive a free Level 1 product for every $60 spent before tax and shipping. Choose from the butterfly coordinating items below or view all the products here.

I love all the different layers and levels on this card. By adding a few dimensionals, I attached the frame and the greeting to the card with some added height. I’m a big fan of the Mini Dimensionals and their smaller size.

I am loving the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. Create layers simply and accurately with the Big Shot and these dies in very little time.
The dies come in cascading sizes that layer together for lots of different looks or use just one for the card base or an accent piece. You can also create frames for your cards in no time.
I made this card with the Needle & Thread and Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies. One of my favourite pieces in the framelits is the paper piercing design I used on the background. Instead of cutting out the image the die makes small holes for a truly unique design.
The colours used on this card are Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz.
If the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies are not on your wish list, add them now. Right at the top. Trust me.

I was able to use new accessories on this card – the Old Olive Linen Thread and Gingham Gala Sequins in addition to the Pearls. And don’t forget to include the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper for even more creative options.

Here is another option for a quick 10 minute card.
The Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch work together to create cards with five different images that fit the punch as well as an assortment of greeting.
And this little gingerbread man cookie is a favourite of mine.
The card stocks used for this card are Real Red, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Whisper White with inks to match. And the designer series paper strip is from Under the Mistletoe.
Need a clean and simple option for your Christmas cards this year? Cookie Cutter Christmas is it.


This little gingerbread man cookie is so cute on its own but you can add a few Red Rhinestones for some bling and to tie all the red elements together.
