Well hello there, I’ve been in my craft room again getting ready for a card class I’m holding tomorrow. I like to mix up the cards the girls will make so think these 3 are all very different, yet easy considering we chat alot when we meet.
First up is a card for:
I cut out the 3 square layers and laid them out following the sketch and then stamped my floral image from Concord & 9th ‘Hello lovely’ stamp over the 3 layers. I then coloured the bottom layer and the top layer only, so when I put it back together it has a bit of a spotlight effect.
Next up is a card for Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge – anything goes optional wings.
I used my SU ‘Swallowtail’ butterfly image, inked up with a variety of blue SU markers and then spritzed with water. I love this stamp and it will always remain in my stash.
Lastly is my card for the following challenges:
- Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge – anything goes optional sparkle
- Happy Little Stampers – anything goes with dies
- ABC Christmas Challenge – N for no peeking and O for ornaments
I kept this card super CAS, using a SU die bauble cut from gold glitter paper and then mounted on white and gold shimmer cardstock with a bit of gold thread to hang it.
What do you think, will the girls enjoy making these cards?
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

You continue to amaze me Tristan. I adore your first card. What a clever idea. And your butterfly is incredible. It looks stunning. The glittery bauble is a perfect CAS Christmas card.

Wow Tristan, I love your idea on that first card! You’re a clever cookie aren’t you! You have inspired me to dust off my swallowtail stamp! Simply beautiful.
