Caterpillar to Butterfly

September 26, 2023

Karen here! I love all of Joset’s critters….so when it’s time to create a birthday card or two, I reach for the critters first. The new bugs are adorable. I am showcasing two birthday cards I made. One is for the cutest granddaughter anywhere, and the other is for my sweet sister-in-law!

First off, the card for my sister-in-law using the really cute Butterflies. I used the new Beautiful Brights paper for the butterfly (except the body which is White Soft Finish Cardstock. I put it on a Stitched Rectangle die cut from the Pretty Pastels paper. The little banners in the corner are from a retired set. I embellished the card with a few of the Floral Minis also cut from the Beautiful Brights paper. The sentiment is from the Bugs & Kisses set.

I decorated the inside with another Stitched Rectangle die cut (with a stripe of Beautiful Brights Paper) and another sentiment from Bugs & Kisses.

The card for my granddaughter uses the sweet Caterpillar die, more mini flowers, and the sentiment for her birthday!

Thank you for stopping by!

Craftily yours, Karen

Have A Bee-Utiful Day A2 Card

September 5, 2023

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. The new Bugs and Butterfly Collection is so much fun to play with. The Bee is just adorable and I pulled out my old Honeycomb die to create my background. If you don’t have the Honeycomb die in your stash then it can be substituted with the Layered Honeybee dies. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold side. (A2)

Step 2 – Diecut Honeycomb and use the negative as a stencil. Place it on top of the card front and apply ink using a blender brush.

Step 3 – Diecut Bee in White and Black Cardstock. Using a blender brush apply Yellow Ink on the White Cardstock. For the flower and honey pot diecut in White Cardstock and use inks. Or if inking isn’t your thing then diecut in various colors of cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card front using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 4 – Stamp Bugs & Kisses sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
