Thank you for stopping by today!  Take care and let your light shine! (Matthew 5:16) - Lisa

On Wednesday's Facebook Live, the beautiful new Butterfly Brilliance Bundle was the star of the show! This stamp and die collection combo is an early release from the new Stampin' Up! catalog that will go LIVE in May.  Some of us like to call that catalog the "big" catalog!

I am really enjoying creating with these butterflies.  When you watch the recording of the video below, you will hear that when I see a butterfly cross my path, I feel it's my mom telling me "hello".  And, don't you think that sending cards with butterflies is a lovely gesture of hope?   There are quite a few on my list that could use such a card, how about you?

We will call this card, the "Calypso Coral" card.  The Love You Always Foil Sheets [154286] butterflies are such a pretty touch!

Here is our "Magenta Madness" card!  It's bright and beautiful but quite a bit different than my usual color choices.  This just proves that I should step out of my "color-comfort" box more. :)

Ready to take a look at the video?  Grab a drink (and, maybe even some popcorn!). Hope you enjoy!

Calypso Coral Card Details:

• Calypso Coral 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [122925] is cut 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 for base.
• The So Saffron 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [105118] cardstock layer is cut 5-3/8 x 4-1/8.
• Butterfly Bijou 6" X 6"Designer Series Paper [156824] is cut 4 x 5-1/4 and 3/4 x 4.
• Love You Always Foil Sheets [154286] - 3 x 4 piece for die-cutting and 1-1/4 x 4 for strip.
• Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] 4 x 5-1/4 for inside of card and 1/2" strip for sentiment.

Magenta Madness Card Details:

• Magenta Madness 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [153080] is base cut 5-1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Natural Touch Specialty Paper [156825] - 1-7/8 x 5
• Butterfly Bijou 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [156824] - 1-7/8 x 5.

Happy Mardi Gras!  We are experiencing some near record low temperatures today as is most of the USA.  With that being said, our electrical power situation is uncertain so this post will be quick as well as the video.  If you have questions about the project, please let me know.  The measurements are listed below the video.

Since many of us are homebound due to icy roads, I wanted to share an easy project that can be used with a little Ghiradelli chocolate square for any occasion. The Mardi Gras colors are used on this project: purple represents justice, green represents faith, and gold represents power. 

Here's the super quick video!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Gorgeous Grape 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146987] is cut 6 x 3-1/4.
• Score this piece at 2, 2-12, 4-1/2, and 5 on the long side.
• Turn and score on the short side at 1/2 inch from each side.
• Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102584] is cut 3/4 x 5-1/2 for the belly band.
• You'll need a small piece of Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] for stamping and punching.

This is an easy little treat box and you can make it anytime!  See some of our Mardi Gras family fun from yesterday HERE.
