Butterfly Gala - Stamp By Stamp Creations

Since the Last-Chance Products List came out last week I’ve been removing the retiring items from my craft room. As I was doing this I came across the Butterfly Gala stamp set and noticed how pretty these butterflies were. I knew then that I needed to share a card with you using this stamp set and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch. You know me, I love coordination! Did you know that the Butterfly Duet Punch also coordinates with Butterfly Wishes stamp set? Unfortunately that stamp set is retiring also.

Since this is a Make It Mine post (even though it’s Thursday…) I had to find a card that I liked that used the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet Punch. Once again, Pinterest saved the day! While scrolling through, I found this simple and lovely card made by Jill from Paper Daisy Crafting. Jill did a beautiful job of coloring her butterfly.

I kept my card pretty darn close to the original. I used a couple of layers for my butterfly but I changed the bottom layer on my card to black and left off the ribbon.

Stampin’ Blends Markers were perfect for coloring the butterfly. I will admit that Jill’s butterfly turned out a bit more vibrant than mine.

I do like the simplicity of this card. If you’ve seen enough of my designs you know that I have a bit of trouble with “simple”. Having Jill’s inspiration though really helped me out.

I like this card so much that I’m trying to decide whether or not to keep this stamp set and the coordinating punch in my stash! Decisions, decisions!

What is your favorite stamp set/bundle that’s on the Last-Chance List and leaving us? Leave me a comment and let us know.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

I can’t believe that Spring is in just a few days! How did that happen?

What do you think of when someone says Spring? I think of flowers and…..BUTTERFLIES! Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions has plenty of butterflies: two stamp sets, a punch and framelits! On today’s card I used the Butterfly Gala Bundle. This bundle includes the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet Punch.

I also used the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper which is a Sale-a-bration item. I love how all these items coordinate together! Thank you Stampin’ Up! for making creating SO easy! 🙂

What’s really great about this stamp set/punch combination is that Stampin’ Up! made the stamped images the exact same as the punch! The large and small butterfly are on one stamp in the same positions they are on the punch.

COORDINATION!!!! My favorite word! Thank you Stampin’ Up!

I need to thank a couple of people for this card as I CASEd it. I CASEd it from Brenda Sprenger who CASEd it from Betty Weisbrich. I love that we all are so willing to share with each other.

I hope you’re ready for Spring! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
