Good morning stampers! It’s another gorgeous day outside, and today’s Ribbon of Courage and Butterfly Basics card features some pretty spring imagery. I don’t have any rose bushes in my garden, but I certain have some ferns in the back garden. The butterflies will come back once my perennials begin to bloom – hopefully sooner rather than later. At least they finally have weather that is encouraging them to grow.
Fellow demonstrator Vicki Howie created this card, and I LOVE the way that it opens. This gatefold card has a series of ovals at the centre that keep it closed, and give the recipient a small puzzle to open when received. Once you do, there are more pretty images and the sentiment inside.
The sentiments on the card come from different stamp sets. The one on the front is part of Ribbon of Courage, a stamp set that was inspired by Patty Bennett’s mother’s struggle with breast cancer. It will remain current in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue. The inside images are from Butterfly Basics, which IS retiring at the end of May.
The Butterfly Basics is on the Last Chance Retiring List, and is guaranteed to be in stock until May 25th. You can download the entire list by clicking on the link below, or you can click HERE to view all of the available items in my Online Store. Some retiring items have sold out, so please don’t wait. Don’t forget that ink is only guaranteed to be in stock until May 7th, and all other non-stamp items are available while supplies last.
If your order is between $50 and $200, make sure that you add the May Host Code (3KF4Y7CM) for FREE Project Helper Guides at the end of the month. If you order is over $200, don’t add the Host Code – choose Stampin’ Rewards instead!
