Butterflies Sale-a-Brate!!!

I promised some more butterflies and here they are, in Sale-a-bration colors using the Sycamore Street Designer paper.  FREE if you purchase $50 in product before March 22nd!  Trust me you want this paper and you won't want to waste a square, so these Butterfly punches and many of our punches can help you use this paper to the MAX!  Always punch your largest images first and then go back in with a smaller punch and make the most of this beautiful paper!

I used the Chalkboard Technique on this card with "Vintage Verses" another Sale-a-bration stamp set.  Stamped in Whisper White craft on Island Indigo card stock.  Window Frames Framelits fit perfectly and go up one size for a Pool Party mat.  I popped up the Island Indigo with Stampin' dimensionals on the Pool Party mat and adhered to a Cloudy Day embossed Whisper White background.  The card base is Sahara Sand, you can see a glimpse of this color in the top butterfly.  I punched these butterflies from scraps of Sycamore Street designer paper, the colors all coordinate and the Island Indigo ruffled ribbon and matching Pool Party brad are icing on the cake!  The butterflies are attached with a glue dot, crimp the wings and these cuties take off!!
Super simple card and so easy to duplicate in any of our Designer series papers. 

"Tip for the day"  How do you punch from a small scrap?  Add a handle!!  Use sticky notes to extend your paper so you have a handle.  Pictured below, this allows you to punch all your scraps, no matter how small!!  You can also use removable adhesive, but this can cause gumming up of your punches, so try not to punch thru any glue or the sticky part of the sticky note.  Cut your sticky note in strips so you have multiple handles.  Use again and again until the stickiness will no longer hold your paper scrap.

More cards coming showing how to make the most of your purchases with punches!  And featuring these Petite Curly Label pieces!
