Beautiful Butterflies with 'You are Loved'

It was my MIL's Birthday on Wednesday. She is the most amazing lady that would do anything for anyone. I love her as much as my own Mum and if you've ever met her or get to meet her, you'll understand why. And she makes amazing cakes!

I don't usually do bigger cards than A6 but this one I made for her is A5. I felt it needed to be extra special for a very special lady.

Stamped with 'You are Loved' from the Spring Mini and the butterflies are die cut from the 'Beautiful Butterflies' Bigz Die.

Although 'You are Loved' is a Valentine set it can be used for lots of different occasions which I've done many times. It's actually my most used set in the Mini without a doubt. I've even used it with last night's 'Simply Adorned' Class. I'll show you that next week. 

Have a fantastic weekend!

To my BFF

It's my BFF's Birthday today. Karen and I have known each other since my early twenties and over the years she's been a tower of strength to me. Through my ups and downs (and there's been quite a few) she's never judged me but always supported me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!

You are the best!

Mocha Morning, 'you are loved'

I'm finding it hard not to use the 'You are Loved' stamp set at the moment. I'm a very tactile sort of person so the stunning flocked papers in the Mocha Morning Speciality papers are right up my street. We all know how black is a  good colour to use with absolutely everything and whilst playing around with colour combo's the other day and I had a scrap of Calypso Coral on my desk and I knew it would work perfectly with black for that striking effect.

It looks pretty classy for a wedding theme don't you think? I've got a wedding to go to in August so I'll re-create this when the time comes.

The box is like the one we made at the Qtrly Team Training which uses the Mini Milk Carton Die.

I've made lots more of these boxes using the Sale-a-bration papers 'Everyday Enchartment'. At long last I've managed to stop stroking them and start using. I think it's to do with the fact I can now replace with more. I just need to get my own Sale-a-bration order in now!

Right, lots to do. See ya real soon.



More from 'You are loved'

Another card made with 'You are Loved' set which is in the NEW Spring Mini.

 I've been trying to do more CAS (Clean & Simple) cards lately and this was a quickie I did at the crop the other night. Along with a lot of chatting....

So, that's a quick card and it's a quick post to go with it!

Have a great weekend!
