Card #34 for 2025

Dearest Blog Readers,

This post is a wee bit long.  My apologies in advance. 

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Sunday Stamps

The stamp sets I used for this card are:

Stampin up

Storybook life

Beautiful butterflies

The Inks

pecan pie

daffodil delight

so saffron 

This is the front of the card all closed up to fit in the 

standard A2 envelope.   I stamped, colored and fussy 

cut out the butterfly, added a little wink of stella to 

the wings.  I also fussy cut the sentiment and separated it so

it fit my card better.  That was a project cutting those letters out.  

A whole new appreciation for dies and good eyes.  

This is the backside of the card where I just used

the yellow card stock  so I have room to write, I did add two narrow

 panels of DSP to break up all the yellow. 

This is what the back looks like all folded closed.

Here is a rough draft template of the measurements I used

to make this fancy fold. 

My first try with this card I used purple and had 

a small accident with the glitter pen, but I'm still 

going to send this one out to a friend.  I think she'll

understand the mishap.  

The back of the purple card, for writing.

Puppy had a sleepy day today, usually he's a ball 

full of energy, but today lots of napping.  I will take it.

I was able to rest myself.  

Made some donuts for my husband.  He

was sad I hadn't been baking lately, so I got busy in the kitchen.

  Would you be interested if I shared a few recipes?

The verse I chose for this card is:

Song of Solomon 2:12KJV

 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come,

 and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
