I used Reverse Confetti and cut out the glasses. (I had to do twice cause I had the beverage flowing the wrong way.. and that was after they were adhered down.. crazy me.. I cut the stems from some silver paper and to give the glass a nice metal looking stem. I went over the beverage and cheers with Wink of stella. I die cut the cheers and stamped the SU sentiment and fussy cut it out.

Butterflies - Make My Monday #198

Monday April 10, 2023

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

I am the hose for this challenge so I chose
FRAME IT


These products are again from Stampin up.. It's a shaker card. Thought the butterfly frame made a great look for the butterflies inside and the cute filling inside. I kinda think I should of used the other side of the butterfly paper either as the frame or the backing inside.. but it's done and it's still a fun card.

I guess I could if I wanted to add more color.. but I like how this came out. I used Kat Scrappiness die. I rand the card stock through an embossing folder. I added the image and the SU ribbon to the card. I stamped the sentiment and using a Spellbinder die and corner chomper added the sentinent to the ribbon and a Jubilee heart. I added a diamond painting drill to the flower center.

TRIANGLE CORNER POP UP CARD


I had to go to U-Tube to find out what a triangle corner pop up card was. I then figured out what I wanted to create so gathered the papers and images. The papers are from Pressed petals. The image is a punched Stampin up scotty. I used some black flocked paper. I used a Hook line and inker large dog bone and used versa mark to give a look to the Kraft paper.  The sentiment is from Stampin up. I added a dog eye. The curry looking paper is from stampin up. The circle dies are My favorite things.  I love this fun card.


This is the card open. I used a little piece of double sided washi tape to the white area when I folded it so it would stay closed. but the U-tube said to add magnets..
