Easter/Spring for our challenge this week.

 

 

I combined the two and used several Repeat Impression stamps:

Happy Easter/Spring, Ladyslipper, Crocuses and Vase of Tulips.  I added

some fun die cuts, split my card front and added acetate for a brighter

cheerier look.

The House That Stamps Built Pick of the Week-Front Step Card

Good Morning, Donna here with the POTW (Pick of the Week) for

The House That Stamps Built and we are going to make a fun,

yet easy, yes easy, Front Step card today. Any of the stamps

I used are 20% for 1 week!

 

 

I used Repeat Impressions: 904-L, Daffodils, 5125-C, Dragonfly Sil (sm) and

3909-F, Happy Easter/Spring.

 

Start by gathering your supplies:  Colored card stock measuring  4 1/4" by 11",

Patterned paper 4x 5 1/4", 2- 4x 1 1/4"'s, 4 x 1 1/4".   Scor tape.Scor card stock at

1/2-2-4 and 5 1/5 inches.  

Attach patterned paper as shown. Put Scor tape on 1/2" flap and lay

card as shown below to attach, pressing firmly.

It will then look like this:

Color and attach images of choice, you will want to be sure that when lying flat

your layered image does not go above the top of the cardstock.  I did inside-outside

die cutting with my image to avoid this.

I hope you will give this a try!

Thinking of you

 

I made this card for a dear friend in memory of

the anniversary of her sons death, I like to send

a thinking of you card every year.

 

Butterflies have many meanings and symbolisms when you look

up butterflies on line, each color butterfly actually has

a meaning.  Below are a few of the meanings I found:

 

 

Butterfly Symbolism: The purpose of the life of every Butterfly is to set everything

that was once known aside and to embrace an entire new way of being. 

 

In early Christianity, the butterfly was a symbol of the soul.

 To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color.

 

Known for its lightness, the fluttering of its wings, and especially its metamorphosis from a caterpillar into something more beautiful and powerful, the butterfly symbolizes the soul, reincarnation, resurrection, and femininity.

 

My background is Distress Oxides squeezed lemonade

and mermaid lagoon, is that not a beautiful combination?

Butterfly die from Stampin Up.

 

Wishing you a wonderful day.
