Today I have 2 cards to share with you. First, a simple quick card that is appropriate for just about any occassion – just alter the sentiment to fit.
Nested butterlies provide the punch for this card. Thank you Stampin' Up! for providing two sizes of butterfly punches. They make this card so easy to do quickly.
Now, take a look at the "souped up" version of the card.
Just a few alterations, and you have a stepped up version. The Fancy Fan Embossing Folder added some texture and dimension in the background. A strip of dsp from the Sycamore Street pack – free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, grounds the card. The sentiment, Sassy Salutations, is stamped on very Vanilla, edged with Summer Starfruit ink and the then punched with the Extra-Large Oval. Rhinestone accents draw attention to the butterflies. Island Indigo Baker's Twine is the final accent on my card.
Don't you love the look of a fancy envelope? It is so easy to cover the flap of the envelope with colorful dsp. Place a piece of dsp on the flap, turn the envelope over and trim away!
Which card do you prefer? Please leave a comment with your selection. I appreciate all of your comments – I do read them. Thanks for stopping by today!

Wow!!! Love it!!! Love the color combination!!!
I like both of these cards but the one with the embossing really touches my desire to copy it. I will make several and wait to stamp the saying. I sure like you having a blog.

Oh my gosh…I LOVE them both! Such Fabulous, rich colors!
Ging- I like them both!! Each one has something special in it’s simplicity (first one) and in it’s decoration (second one)! I agree with all the comments and like Barb, I will have to copy them and add different sayings!!
These are fabulous! I especially love the extra long rhinestones on the middle butterfly in the souped up version. Great work!
This card is SO much prettier in person! Thanks so much for sending it to me – I love having a Ginger card to look at and remind me of you until I can see you again. 🙂
