Butterflies with Darkroom Door~


I took a break from a project I have been working on and made some cards out of my scrap bag.  These are Mother's Day cards~love using my scraps, it's like free cards:):) Cards without cutting a sheet of cardstock~like I said free cards!


The ribbon is silk and worked perfect for these cards.  I used the Darkroom Door Butterfly stamp set for my images!!! All I can say is beautiful!  I have all sorts of ideas for this stamp set, so lovely!


For you local people CraftCrossing has a great selection of  Darkroom Door products.  The stamps are red rubber and the images are so clear when stamped.  This set is fast becoming a favorite of mine~my fifth, I think........ Oh my!


I used the same idea that I used for the cards and made these tags.  The flowers are glued on using Helmars Acid Free Glue.  Takes no time to dry and keeps you  working~love that!  For you local gals CraftCrossing has Helmar Products on order.  The glue will be in the house shortly:):)!!


These tags were fun to make and the butterfly has so much detail ~a clean  stamped image everytime.  I stamped extras and cut those out to add dimension to the cards and tags.  A little machinne sewing adds interest to the cards and tags.  And a little tip~when you don't have the right color of pearl for the center of your flower~ just color it with a sharpie, works everytime!  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you for Try it Tuesday~it's gonna be good!!!

  10. Sometimes you just need a break - I do that with cards too. Still creating, but something different and easy. I love these stamps and love how you added an extra one on top of the stamped images. Very cool! :)

  12. I am a big fan of butterfly images lately so it makes my heart happy to see that big set of butterfly stamps. I have never heard of that company though so I need to check them out. I also get excited about cards created with scraps - it does feel like a free card.
