When I first saw the stamp set Amazing Family in the Spring Occassions Mini Catalog, I didn't think it fit my style of stamping. But, after trying it out, I have changed my mind. It is definitely a fun set with tons of possibilities. I used it to make swaps for some of my roommates at Leadership. Paired with the Labels Collection Framelits, it becomes a fairly quick card to complete and yet, it still has some pizzazz.
I changed the cards up slightly, so let me share the second one with you.
Subtle changes provide a different look. Core'dinations Card Stock embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder followed by some light sanding with the Stampin' Sanding System, create just the look I was after.
On the bottom card I used Pool Party Embossing Powder while the choice for the top card was White Embossing Powder.
Attaching 3 colorful butterflies punched from Sycamore Street dsp (free SAB item with a $50 purchase) with the new Itty Butterfly created some visual interest on my card. Of course, what self respecting butterfly would be caught without some dazzle – check out the new Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The final touch is a strip of Tangerine Tango ribbon from the SAB Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack – another free SAB choice.
On the bottom card, I changed up the embellishments by choosing to flatten the smaller size new Soda Pop Tops. The bottom layer in the Pop Top is a 1/2' circle of pool party, which was topped with a snippet of whisper white cardstock stamped with the heart image from the new Itty Bitties Stamp set from the Spring Occassions Mini Catalog – love this set with the Soda Pop Tops.
The final touch was a large bow tied from Pool Party Bakers Twine.

You are a busy girl! I like the first one the best but the second one is a good alternative. I like the butterflies and the card has more color. This time of year that is especially noticeable to me. You are doing a great job with your selections and posting often. Thank you, Barb

I can’t say which card I like because I love both of them!! I enjoy looking at your blog every day you have some great cards! Thank you so much for posting a variety of the cards.
I like both cards! I love the butterflies but I am a butterfly girl!!
Both cards are awesome, Ginger, but my nod goes to the first. You can never beat butterflies and bling!
