Stamps that fly

Despite the cold that I picked up at work this week, I managed to get a few cards made using some of the lovely products from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue. 

This card below was inspired by this card at Splitcoast Stampers.  It uses the All a Flutter butterfly and Very Vintage wheel. 

Stamps: All a Flutter & Very Vintage wheel

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Tango Tangerine

Paper: Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Scallop Circle punch, Circle #2 Bigshot die, Snail, Sticky Strip, Glue Dots, Watercolour paper, Aqua painters

This card uses the new bird punch from the Mini Catalogue.  I also used the Top Note Bigshot die and Cottage Wall paper.  This card is actually very quick and easy to make.

Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Orchid Opulence & Cottage Wall DSP
Accessories: Top Note Bigshot die, Extra Large 2 Step Bird Punch, Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon, Sticky Strip, Snail
