Butterfly Basics Again and Again!

As a Demo, I sell retired stamp sets to make room for new ones and because I need to create with things that are available for my customers to purchase. I sometimes do hang on to a retired stamp set, especially if they contain greetings or sentiments that I know I will use often. Word Play is one of those cases, I use it  often enough to warrant keeping it. I also think I will hang on to Butterfly Basics. I absolutely ADORE using this style of shabby chic/collage. It is sooo much fun to create with and I sure do hope that Stampin' Up! will make more sets in this style.

Think Spring

I absolutely ADORE this first stamp set!! Butterfly Basics is the most versatile and fun to create with. I enjoy stamping the insides and envelopes almost as much as the card fronts! lol

The second card was done using a set called Big Day and it is one of the things that you can get for FREE during the SALE-A-BRA-TION annual sale. For each $50.00 you spend, you can earn one FREE item from the SALE-A-BRA-TION catalog.

The last card was done with a stamp for the Ocassions Mini Catalog, called Love Is Kindness. Coloring this stamp with alcohol ink markers is sooo easy and fun, plus you can earn them for FREE during SALE-A-BRA-TION too!
