Thank You....

Ever gone "red tag" hunting? Huh?! Red tag hunting?! Yep! Hunting for red tag deals at Target is fun! LOL! Those end caps hold prize winnings for the first person to get there! LOL! On one of my "hunting trips" I came across some awesome deals! I found a box of 10 cards, complete with envelopes for .97! Now who could resist that knowing it had potential?! Certainly not me! So I decided recently to make it into "something"! Here are a few pictures of my project;

This is the complete set, box and cards! There is a total of 5 cards with matching envelopes. I used SU cardstock, Michael's ribbon (on box), Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Giga Scallop punch, a square punch I've had so long I swear I was given it at birth! SU stamp sets "Perrenial Favorites" and "Wonderful Words" a glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds







In case you're wondering about the butterfly - I used SU "Baroque Motifs", they better not ever retire that set! I first stamped my paper, whisper white, with Chocolate Chip ink then, positioned my punch to where I liked the design on the butterfly and punched them out! They're only attached in the middle, where the Dazzling Diamonds are, and the wings are loose!

I hope you like it!

Until next time....

Great card! I like butterflies to start with..when you look at the top picture of the 2 cards, I first thought..wow..you used fringe at the bottom...then looking at the other pic, it is striped paper. Nice card and a great deal.
