Welcome back to my blog. I made this card for a friend of my son who got married last Friday. My son was part of the wedding party and has been friends with the groom since their school days.
I pretty much copied the card from Terri Gaines. You can see her card here
I thought this card was so pretty. I used the following Supplies:
Embellishments: retired White Ribbon and Silver Twine
This stamp set and the coordinating dies are lovely, and so versatile; they can be used to create cards for so many occasions; Christmas, birthday, wedding, sympathy, get well or congratulations. They were introduced in the 2018 Holiday catalogue, but have been carried over, so are still available.
If you’re in Australia, I’d love to be your demonstrator and you can purchase the products listed above in my online store. The link is in the “Shopping” pull down menu in the Header at the top of this page. You can always contact me if you need any help.
Last weekend I held a card day to introduce local members of a group called The Compassionate Friends (TCF) to papercrafting with Stampin’ Up! There were 4 ladies who were new to card making and to Stampin’ Up! as well as a couple of seasoned cardmakers.
TCF is a worldwide family of bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents offering support and friendship to each other. It began in the UK in 1969 and the ACT and Queanbeyan chapter has been operating since 1991. Its symbol is a butterfly.

I created 2 cards for the class. The first used the Butterfly Gala Bundle, which I thought was very appropriate for the group. The second was a floral birthday card, using the Beautiful Day stamp set, which I thought would have wide appeal.
Below is a photo of the cards made on the day. It was very interesting that, although everyone had the same pieces of cardstock, ink and stamps, there were many variations of the original cards. The ladies enjoyed the day and I will hold more days in the future.
Supplies Used:
Stamp sets: Butterfly Gala, Beautiful Day
Colours: White, Black, Grapefruit Grove, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry
DSP : Botanical Butterfly (free during SaleABration)
Tools: Swirls & Curls TIEF, Butterfly Duet Punch
Embellishments: Organdy Ribbon (free during SaleABration) , clear Rhinestones.
