Welcome back to a short and simple post today.
The earthquakes have settled down and I have continued to make some more cards while waiting for the launch of Close to My Heart in New Zealand on the 1st September, and the opening of Make Shift.
Today my theme for cards is the lovely Marianne Craftables CR1205 butterfly. I have tried to use a lot of different colours and techniques with these cards to show off the gorgeous butterfly.
The materials I have used here are:
Mariannes Craftables CR1205
Cuttlebug and embossing folder – Swiss Dots
Marianne Creatables Branches LR0151
Marianne Creatables LR0107
Fiskers small and medium flower punch
Creative Memories Custom Cutting System – ovals
Kaisercrafts greeting stamps
Close to My Heart Pink Glitter Gems
Kaisercraft Blue Pearls
Metallic paper from the local Variety Plus shop
Bazzill Bling cardstock – Diva
Peelcraft stickers
Scrap paper and cardstock from my stash
Base cards from http://www.cardmakers.co.nz
Marianne dies from http://www.kalsbeek.co.nz
I thought I might leave a couple of cards without greetings so people can use the card for whatever reason they need.
I hope you enjoy my offerings.
Happy Crafting
Patricia
