Butterflies and Flowers

This pretty butterfly card seems to be the most popular one from my upcoming class "Easter and Mother's Day cards", which I will be teaching at my house April 23rd at 2:00pm.  

You'll be surprised how simple it is to make this card.  We'll use the Big Shot to emboss the card base (to make all the pretty raised swirls in the background), and we'll use the Big Shot again to cut out the butterfly shapes.  If you haven't used the Big Shot before, you'll have to come give it a try.  It's the most fun papercrafting tool ever!   

The rest of the card is just as easy.  We'll layer the butterfly shapes together with a touch of ribbon for the butterfly antennae, and a few pearls for the body.  There is plenty of space to stamp any sentiment you wish - "Get Well", "Thinking of You", "Happy Birthday", or of course the advertised Easter or Mother's Day greetings.  You choose what you want your card to say!  

The second card I'm sharing with you is one of the many flower cards from my upcoming class.  The theme is clearly flowers, earth tones, and elegant designs!  This card features a couple of patterns from the 'Elegant Soiree' Designer Series Paper pack.  The main image is stamped with the Awash with Flowers set, and the card is finished off with a little paper piercing.  It's another quick and easy card, but due to the sophisticated designs, it looks a lot more complicated than it really is.  

Tomorrow I will share with you another two cards from my upcoming class.  I know you'll want to have these in your collection so you'll always have a card when you need one at the last minute!  Sign up today to reserve your spot.
