Time for another fabulous Pink Saturday.

 Beverly is hosting her wonderful Pink Saturday again!  Thank you Beverly, this is so much fun, I have found so many wonderful blogs and met so many wonderful bloggers through your Pink Saturdays.  Please do pop by and say hi to Beverly, you will love her blog How Sweet the Sound.  Today's card is simple, the butterfly die cuts are from My Graphico SVG Shop called Botanical Butterflies.  I cut the butterflies on white cardstock, used a punch on the edge,  placed a piece of pink card stock behind it and embossed it with a Stampin Up embossing plate.  Then I colored the butterflies with pink chalks and mounted them back into their spaces with some dimensionals to give them some pop.  
 I have had my Sure Cuts A Lot software for over 2 years now but I am still finding new ways to use it.  I just recently figured out that I could aim my die cuts on a page by selecting the paper size.  I was using it for 12x12 or 8.5x11 and cut a ton of whatevers.  Now I found out I can place the butterflies on the page and cut them where I want them.  Pretty cool I think, it is a bit to get the hang of, the items are a bit dyslexic, and that's bad because I am too.  It takes me a few tries to figure out which way, what I have on the screen will cut and which way to load the paper.  But I am definitely happy I am learning this, it is well worth the effort.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Christmas Angel 1

I made this sweet little angel card with Christmas Angels, a printable  collage sheet I bought from my friend June at Dezinaworld.  I just love her vintage collage sheets.  Stop by her Dezinaworld blog and see what her amazing design team does with these images!   I  cut her and mounted her with some foam tape so she has a bit of a 3D look.  I also fussy cut a few of the roses and brought them forward out of the border.  Speaking of borders, the fabulous border frame called Fancy Borders is a SVG from Mujka  Chic at MyGraphico.  I can't get enough of these!  The floral DP is Websters Vellum 11 digital paper another one of my favorites.  I am really pleased with how this came out, I guess a little surprised too, I had no vision for where I was going, it just seemed to all come together for me. Well, thanks for looking, I really appreciate your comments.  ~Diane
