Blowing Butterflies - Framed Wall Decor

My mom loves butterflies and she's been on a family portrait mood lately, so we decided to combine both and came out with this 25" x 35" framed wall decor, featuring my niece in a butterfly skirt.

Baby Mariana Baptism Favors

My niece visited Chile a couple of months ago and her parents honored me with being one of the Godfathers.
I was in charge of the baptism favours, and after much thinking, we (my mom and I) came up with a color (Rose Quartz) and a theme (butterflies).
I also made origami boxes to store them.

Thank You Mini Square Cards

It has been long since my last post. I came back from Japan a week ago and adjusting to GMT-4 from GMT+9 has been harder this year.
Anyhow, we had a great trip and I came back full of ideas and memories.
Today's project is very simple, a small 2.75 x 2.75 inch mini cards, with a whimsical, cute feel, that can be given as gifts in a set or as thank you notes by themselves.

Butterfly Card #3 (and last) - Swallowtail

This is the third and last of the butterflies cards.

It took me a while to upload it because of the 8.3 earthquake that stroke Chile a couple of days ago and me traveling out of the country.

Butterfly Card #2 - Cruiser

For today's card, I give you the Cruiser butterfly

Butterfly Card #1 - Imperial

A series of butterflies cards, very easy to whip for any occasion. You won't wave to think about a different sentiment for the inside of the card.

Tri fold Mom's Birthday Card

Hello!
It's been so long since my last post that I almost forgot how to do this.

I traveled to Japan and got back with a whole bunch of ideas and inspiration for crafting. I also had to process all 5000 photos to make my vacation photo album and I also had to finish writing my travel journal in full color. Soon you'll fin out what I'm working on.

This card has nothing to do with it, though. I made this card last January for my mother.

I  don't have the pictures for this card, but the files are in english and spanish for you to choose.

Butterfly Vitreaux Card

I know the northern hemisphere is getting ready for fall, but down here we can't wait for spring to come. I made this card for a cricut forum challenge and decided to make an SVG for it.

I've seen lots of butterfly SVGs out there, but I really wanted a "vitreaux" feel to it, with black lines on top of colored blocks. I assembled the butterfly using 3M Super 77 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive on the back of the black outline cut and placed the color blocks accordingly. They do not overlap, so it won't be difficult to place the pieces in the right position.

I'm very pleased on how this card turned out and most impressed on how the cricut explore performed on this intricate design. For the embossing I used the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Butterflies & Flowers Set by Stephanie Barnard (link at the bottom of the post) and very convenient flat back rhinestones from the craft outlet glued with Aleene's glue pen.

I'm very pleased on how this card turned out and most impressed on how the cricut explore performed on this intricate design.

The antennae broke off, so I had to draw them with a black gel pen. The file contains the antennae in case you want to cut a bigger file butterfly.

Import in DS and resize to 4 inches wide.

Hope you like it
