Good morning! Butterflies are really HOT right now, with the Best of Butterflies stamp set and the Swallowtail single stamp, there are just endless possibilities! Add in the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches and then the Big Shot Butterlfly Bigz Die and Embosslit, and it just keeps getting better!

This first card features the Swallowtail single stamp in Midnight Muse, with First Edition Specialty Paper (retired), Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding, and Vanilla Flower Trim. It's so beautiful it doesn't even need to "speak", which is my word for stamping a greeting on the front of a card!

Note: all supplies used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless stated otherwise

For this card the Distressed Dots Background was stamped on the Early Espresso layer first, then the Swallowtail was embossed with Black Embossing Powder. Bleach was applied to the image with an Aquapainter. After the bleach had dried and "bleached" the cardstock within the embossed lines, color was applied using Stampin' Write Markers. Gorgeous!

Our final Swallowtail card is CAS (clean and simple), stamped with Jet Black StazOn. A little bit of not-so-simple was added with the Delicate Design Embossing Folder. This card "speaks" with a "you make me smile" from the new catalog stamp set, A Round Array, punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch!

Stay with me now, there's two more cards to share!

This beauty is uses the Elegant Butterfly AND the Bitty Butterfly punches in Not Quite Navy and Silver Glimmer Paper, respectively. "Wonderful You" is from Loving Thoughts, and the ribbon-like layer has been cut with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Shot Die from Basic Black, Not Quite Navy, and Silver Glimmer!

Our final sample today is an eclectic mix of the Best of Butterfly, French Foliage (retiring), Secret Garden & World Treasures stamp sets, with a generous amount of sponging on the edges and hand-colored butterflies with the Blender Pens for a soft look!

That's all for today! Hope you are enjoying these swaps! Please leave me a comment to let me know, ok?

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
