Blooms and Butterflies

A new year brings a new ©Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog and with it all kinds of new things we just can't live without.  The Butterflies Thinlits Dies set reached out and grabbed us.  Now we just wish we had taken the plunge and bundled it!  (We're sure there's more to come with these winged lovelies!)  Here's a really good start. 

Pacific Point Butterfly Card

Pacific Point might just be the best blue ever.  It plays quite nicely with the new Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper and adding the middle-size butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits Dies to the combination makes for an eye-popping card!  Our lovely greeting comes from the Sale.a.Bration Lotus Blossom stamp set.  To make the task of preparing such a lacy embellishment as the thinlit butterflies a piece of cake, we called on our friend Patty Bennett at Patty's Stamping Spot for a Dryer Sheet and Waxed Paper Method for Big Shot thinlit cutouts.  Lots of "schnibbles" but well worth the confetti!
