Birthday Butterfly with Gold Accents

Hello, Crafters,

I'm posting a card today that uses several different patterned papers along with strips of gold paper. I thought it would be fun to lay them in a diagonal pattern. 

At first, I was going to use just the paper in the upper left hand corner which has gold accents, but it was PINK OVERLOAD!

So, by adding other papers from the same stack also with gold accents, it toned down the pink some.

The butterfly has two parts: they are from Spellbinders Wonderful Wings; the solid lower cut is of gold paper and the top one is the more intricate cut. The sentiment is from a retired SU Avant Garden set that I've had for probably three years, and it is gold embossed and cut out with a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangles die. Rhinestones embellish the butterfly and a gold ribbon runs across the lower half of the card.

O, God!  I know that I am a sinner. I thank You that Jesus Christ, Your Holy Son, was born of a virgin, came and lived a sinless life here on earth, and died on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for my sin. He is no longer dead, but rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. I accept His atonement for every sin I have ever committed and receive Your salvation. I put all of my trust in Jesus Christ of Nazareth and receive Him as Lord of my life from this moment on. Thank You Father God for this grace given to me.

Happy Birthday to You

 Good Afternoon, Fellow Crafters,

I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday for a specific product (which, by the way, they did not carry), and all of you know what happens to a crafter who goes into a craft store and just ambles around each aisle. Yep.  I bought things I had no idea that I needed!

Well, one of the dies that I got was this cute Sizzix Happy Birthday to You die; it includes a sprig of green branch with tiny flowers. I sprayed the back of the cutout with aerosol glue and put it on a Spellbinders Standard Circle Nestabilities die. One of the things I also got at Hobby Lobby was the multicolored zig-zag paper, which I thought was very happy and whimsical. There is a small no-name butterfly punch that I have which I used and I put rhinestones on it and also on the flowers. A yellow double-looped ribbon on the bottom finished the card.

Gold and Purple Birthday

 Good Afternoon, Crafters,

I had a lot of fun making today's card with purple and gold; I had initially gone to Hobby Lobby and Michaels for some fun gold and silver papers for Christmas cards, but just wanted some extra sparkle for a birthday card.

Here is what was used to make the card:

SU Flower Shop stamp with coordinating punch

There are three layers of the stamped flower; the petals are layered and curled downward to create fullness and dimension

SU Cool Treats sentiment stamp

Gold, purple and lavender papers

Gold Ribbon

Gold Rhinestone

Gold Embossing Powder used with Versamark Ink

Martha Steward Five Leaf Punch

And here is the card:

Kind Thanks

 Good Evening, Fellow Cardmakers.

I'm posting a monochromatic thank you card today done in blue and white.

Here is the card:

 I used a blue and white gingham paper with a solid blue embossed paper on top; the flowers and foliage are from Spellbinders Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters. The corner pieces are Cheery Lynn Designs B162 Lace Corner Deco B. The sentiment is from a retired SU stamp which is die cut using an oval Sizzix Framlit die.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

 Good Morning, Cardmakers,

I'ts been quite awhile since I posted last--I'm sure all of you know how many things can take priority.

Today's card is one of the ones made for Christmas; making them ahead of time eases the business of the season so that cards are ready to be sent out in a timely manner.

I got a picture of the Christmas carol, O Little Town of Bethlehem from the internet and sized it so that it would not take up the whole real estate of an A2 card front. It is framed with a dark green paper and adhered to a lighter green background. I chose dark green because the coloring of the picture is shades of green.

Next, I sprayed the whole thing with gold glitter mist, attached a gold bow and adhered gold rhinestones randomly to make it sparkle even more. The tiny black looking dots on the music sheet are really gold flecks, although you can't see the sparkle on the card.

Here is the card:
