Back to more Butterfly cards. I have used the Beautiful Butterflies a lot!
This was one of the cards we made at class last week for my Card Buffet. It’s simple but with the diecut butterfly shape cut in paper it adds an extra element. The paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Paper. Then a little sparkle in Glimmer Paper was added. Got to love a sparkly, fluttery butterfly!
The wavy Embossed background gives a look of movement for the butterfly too. The Soft Waves Embossing Folder is a great versatile Folder. You don’t have to just use it for wavy seas.
The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love Stamp Set.
Happy Crafting,

I am loving pandas at the moment. They are so cute and clumsy. I remembered the Party Pandas Stamp Set. I sold mine some time ago after it retired. I was sad about that. It is such a cute set.
BUT, I received a new set on Mother’s Day last weekend. I was excited. So I spent Mother’s Day afternoon creating with it. These are the cards I came up with.
On the Left Hand Card, I used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. The rectangle is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies. The Thinking of You is from the With You In Mind Stamp Set.
On the Right Hand Card the paper is from the Mixed Media Florals Pack.
I think I will have a bit of fun creating with these Pandas.
Happy Crafting,

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.
As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.
Here is the video.
Here is the card I created.
The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.
If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.
I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.
Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Back with Sunday Suites. We have Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection.
The ocean is my favourite place. This suite is different to your typical marine style stamps and dies I think.
The colours in the suite move away from the typical blues you might associate with the ocean. There is the bright pinks and oranges. I think it leans more to the sunrise and sunset colours perhaps?
The Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection includes:
The Ocean Friends Bundle
The Soft Waves Embossing Folder
Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper 12″x12″
Sunny Day Iridescent Dots 135 adhesive dots 5mm and 6mm. In Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Splash
Let’s look closer.
The Ocean Friends Bundle
This is a two-step stamp set making it easy to stamp the outline, stamp the inside image and diecut. You can choose to colour these too if you would like.
The Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper.
The colours in the paper are Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash.
The paper has the ocean creature images on one side and patterns on the other. So these papers can be used to create projects of other fun types. Great for those bright, cheery Birthday cards.
The Soft Waves Embossing Folder.
The folder measures 6″ x 6-1/4″ (15.2 x 15.9 cm) so it is a large one but that works great to get the wavy impression whether your card is portrait or landscape position.
I particularly love the Soft Waves Embossing Folder. It creates deep impressions to add extra texture. The curvy lines could be used on any project beyond water images.
Here are some project with this suite.
See the curvy texture you get with the folder. Here’s a tip: Add some inking on sections of the card to add extra colour.
What do you think? Are you loving the funky oranges and pinks or are you traditional blues for the ocean cards??
