What do you get when you combine pastel colors, floral embossing, and a butterfly? In my case, it’s a butterfly birthday card, which will be winging it’s way to one of my good friends who has an April birthday. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, the sweet Claire is hosting our monthly theme challenge: Spring Is in the Air! It’s perfect for this time of the year. As I mentioned previously, I pulled out pastels, floral embossing, and butterflies, as these are things that make me think of spring. I can’t wait to see what reminds YOU of spring! Let the fun begin!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The die cuts certainly pack a punch on today’s butterfly birthday card. The ornate floral die cut is from the Flowering Vines die cut collection. A Watercolor pattern from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper Collection was adhered to a piece of foam adhesive sheet prior to die cutting, making it easy to adhere, as well as adding dimension. Of course, I absolutely could not resist adding pearls to the centers of each one of the flowers. Add a lacy die cut butterfly and a feminine sentiment (this one is from Posted For You), and your card is sure to delight the birthday girl. Of course, a little floral texture on the back panel adds a delicious touch of spring!

Cute Cactus Birthday Card for FF0079
Looking for a card which is a little different? How about a cute cactus birthday card? It’s time to get festive at Festive Friday – the home of the Inspo List!
For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by World Frog Day. Remember – at Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used green, stripes, twine, and circles on my card this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Who doesn’t love Stampin’ Up!’s Product Medleys! They have almost everything you need to create perfectly coordinated cards for a variety of occasions. The Flowering Cactus Medley doesn’t disappoint, with its cute paper, felt flowers, colorful twine, and fabulous dies. It’s perfect for the cactus lover, like me!
Today’s cute cactus card features three of the twelve designer paper patterns, as well as a cactus which was die cut from a fourth one. The taller cacti were die cut from Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz cardstocks. Aren’t they cool? I sponged a little Mossy Meadow ink on the Pear Pizzazz one to tone it down a bit. Of course, in my perfect cactus world, they would be in bloom. These are sporting felt Highland Heather blossoms with pearl centers.

Butterfly Note Card for The Paper Players
Butterflies have long been a harbinger of spring. While the Spring Equinox is on March 20th this year, I don’t expect butterflies to be making their appearance any time soon here in SE Iowa. However, I can deliver a breath of spring to someone’s mailbox with this Butterfly Note Card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week I have the honor of hosting our monthly sketch challenge. What I have selected for you is a sketch that hopefully “layer lovers” and “clean and simple aficionados” will both love. Dress it up with layers and embellishments, or keep it on the simpler side. The choice is yours! We can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Sometimes all you need is a gorgeous die cut, a simple sentiment, and a fussy cut butterfly to make a card come to life.
The stunningly ornate die is from the Flowering Vines collection. For added dimension, I adhered Butterfly Bijou paper, available March 2nd, to a foam adhesive sheet before die cutting it out. The fussy cut butterfly also comes from this same designer paper collection. The wonderful thing about this card is that you can change out the sentiment for almost any occasion…birthday, thank you, wedding, anniversary, get well, thinking of you and more!
