Happy Birthday MIL

This is the type of card that my Mother and my Mil would like, they are so not into cute. So when I saw these fabulous papers by Prima at MJ's Every Moment Matters crop, I had to get them. I had already got my hand on the Marianne butterfly die but what should've of been a quick card took me ages to make. The die wasn't cutting evenly and I had a b***** of time getting cut and then trying to get it out also the bits that are left in the die so I could cut more than one.
But once done some gems and ribbon, stamped sentiment job done.


Here's a different colourway for my Mum in July, just hope I don't put it in a safe place and then can't find it.
We're still at MIL but will be back soon.

Two beautiful cards, love that butterfly, pity it isn't cutting so well. So different for you! But I love them.

Debby,

JUST LOVE THESE!

In the next few months I will be focusing on doing some flowers, butterflies, and sea shells, PRETTY, instead of "cute" for a little while....Where can I purchase that butterfly die (what company make it!), it's GORGEOUS!

P.S. come see my NEW tulip Mother's day card, my first "pretty" card for Mum's Day.

These will be loved and treasured, I'm sure.
Two gorgeous cards Debby, what wonderful papers and I love the butterflies. I went on a site to buy these butterflies but they'd run out - so I bought something else instead - naughty girl - smacked hand. No will power - no money either!!

Two fabulous cards! I love the new butterfly dies! Can totally empathise on it being tricky to get it out the die- I had the same issue this weekend with my new ribbon flower die!
