8/1 Stampin' Up! Papillon Potpourri

Good Afternoon!

I get the mom of the year award today.  I got up and sleepily got my peanut's lunch and things together for her 3rd day in dance camp.  Well, I carefully heated a special lunch of veggies with butternut squash ravioli in a special sauce, packed up her bag (and her) and ran out the door without the thermos.

I did bring it when she called me, but boy do I feel silly!!

It's club week here in the studio, so some my customers were here until about 10pm, then I CAN'T seem to sleep when everyone goes right away.  I am so happy to see everyone, I need time to unwind.  I guess it makes sense that I'm tired the next day!

Here's a card I designed on Monday using my friend Mary Jo's sketch challenge.  I love this week's sketch!  To make the designer paper panels, all I did was take a 1 3/4" circle punch and punch out three circles of Floral District Designer Series paper; then cut them in half.  I was going to use this card with my clubs this week, but had to change the design a little because I didn't have enough DSP to make all the circles for 40 packets.

My center whisper white panel measures 2 1/4" x 4 1/4", and it was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder.  I cut a strip of razzleberry cardstock to 4 1/4", then used the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border punch to punch a strip.  I cut that strip down the middle with paper snips and used a two way glue pen to glue the edges on. 

Next, I used stazon ink to stamp my butterfly from Papillon Potpourri on three different colors of cardstock, then punched them out!  I added them to my card with glue dots (so they can still fly) and added some clear dazzling details to the top.


Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy!  Did I just say that?  :)
