It's a beautiful, cold, bitter wind day outside today in Midland, Michigan. We got a little over 5" of snow over night. Our high temp for today is 16F with a low tonight of -5F...yes, that's a negative 5...below zero. Yikes!!! The winds are NW at 10 to 20mph with some higher gusts. Bitter cold!!! It's a peppermint hot chocolate day for this girl.

I made a Book Mark for yesterday's blog post; but, I forgot to take a picture of it before I mailed it out. Geesh!!!

My share for today is Stampin' Up!'s new Butterfly Bouquet products along with highlighting the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set and Punches. The Butterfly Bouquet products are an early release from the upcoming 2021-22 Annual Catalog and will be available for Customers to purchase March 2nd, 2021. Let's take a look:

My Card Base is Calypso Coral Cardstock.

My Card Front Panels are from the 6" x 6" Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.

I cut a length of 1/4" Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon, wrapped it around my Card and tied it into a knot.

Using the Stitched with Whimsy Dies, I die cut out one of the small Squares from Misty Moonlight Cardstock. I trimmed it down to 3" x 3" and rounded the Corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. I adhered the Square to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I die cut out a Solid Butterfly Image from Calypso Coral Cardstock and a Detailed Butterfly Image from the Large Butterfly pattern in the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.

I adhered the Large Solid Butterfly to my Card with Stampin' Dimensionals and the Detailed Image Butterfly with Mono Multi Purpose Glue to the Body only leaving the Wings free of adhesive.

Using the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set, I stamped Thinking of You in Memento Black Ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock.

Using the Tailored Tag Punch, I punched out my Tag and two more Tags from Calypso Coral Cardstock. I adhered both Calypso Coral Tags to the ends on the back of the Thinking of You Tag with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I adhered the Tag to my Card with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love how this technique creates a silhouette in the background of the Tag.

I adhered 3 Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to my Tag as shown in the picture above.

For this Card, my Card Base is Poppy Parade Cardstock.

I used the reverse side of the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper from my first Card.

I cut a length of 1/4" Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon (Retired), wrapped it around my Card and tied it into a knot. (I'm sorry about the retired ribbons; I'm trying to use them up and the Butterfly Cards are perfect for the use of retired ribbons.)

Using the Brilliant Wings Dies, I die cut out one Large and one Solid Butterfly Image from Poppy Parade Cardstock. I also die cut out one Large Detailed Image Butterfly.

Using the Quite Curvy Stamp Set, I stamped Hello in Memento Black Ink onto the Small Butterfly and adhered it to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue down the center of the Body leaving the Wings free of adhesive.

I adhered the Large Solid Butterfly to my Card with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals down the center of the Body.

I adhered the Large Detailed Butterfly to my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue down the center of the Butterfly leaving the Wings free of adhesive.

I adhered two Small and four Large Black Matte Dots to my Card as shown in the picture above.

Tell someone you LOVE them and/or give someone an AIR HUG today!!!

Have a Blessed Day!!!

PLEASE GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!

I recently discovered that people are using my cards and/or projects, duplicating them and entering them into challenges, using them for their own card classes and (using them on their blogs as their own creations) - Please give credit where credit is due. My cards and projects are my own creations and are not to be used in challenges, blog hops, card classes or sold at craft shows; etc., for profit. I don't mind if you duplicate my creativity to pass on to family members or friends as gifts or Occasions cards; but, PLEASE be considerate of others creativity! Thank you!
