STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
I'm a big fan of Happiest Birthday Wishes, a new Stampin' Up! Hostess rubber stamp set. See stamp set images below. - Now you can earn ANY hostess stamp set starting with a product order of $150 (excluding shipping and tax). Available with individual on-line orders, too! See NEW Hostess Rewards Program.
- I cross stitched the pattern created by the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. For a visual explanation, see my "Sew Easy" Video Tutorial.
- I used a Circle Rhinestone Brad (pink, from the Fire collection) to give the sentiment's exclamation point a little bling.
- By cropping off the "legs" of the circle rhinestone brad, I could add it to the button with a Mini Glue Dot. Simple. Polished.

Mary, this is a fabulous card for many reasons (!!!) but I really love how you utilized the really large image on the designer paper than can often be difficult to do on a card. And using the twine in the Scallop ribbon border punch for a stiching effect is brilliant!!
Your card is just lovely! Great little butterfly 🙂
Beautiful. Just saw it today, but it was worth the wait. I love that set…another of my “must haves”.
What a beautiful card. The butterfly punch is on my wishlist! I am looking forward to giving this sketch a go, thanks for the inspiration! Theresa
