My sister and her husband have an Anniversary coming up! Her colors for the wedding were Yellow and White. Her household decor colors, for the most part, are a grayish lavender color, yellow and a cool gray. The butterfly has a strong emotional meaning to her and her husband. Most anything I create for her, always has a butterfly. I felt this card absolutely embodied the everything about her and her husband. They now have 2 great little ones, so the fact that there are 4 seen and there is one hidden mostly by the sentiment, while not ideal is very indicative of their family. The 5th butterfly is always and forever in their hearts, not to be hidden, not to be forgotten, simply a subtle remembrance.

I absolutely adore this die set, Butterfly Beauty, it is a huge set with 20 dies that are predominately butterflies. It is incredibly versatile and very well loved. This die set coordinates with the Beauty Abounds stamp set, also quite versatile. I have link them so you can check it out in my on-line store to learn more about each set and see additional projects by the Stampin’ Up! Design Team. I am so glad that this set is carrying over into the Annual Catalog! What could be a better background than a whole bunch of blooming country flowers – thus the Country Floral Embossing Folder, unfortunately it is not carrying over in the new catalog – some you win, some you lose….. However, this could still be a win because it is discounted 30%

The sentiment “Happy Anniversary” is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White card stock, punched with the Story Label punch It comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, another very versatile set that also has coordinating dies, Bouquet Bunch, that are also quite handy. Unfortunately this duo is not carrying over into the new catalog – sometimes you win, sometime you lose and well sometimes you get rained out! This is definitely strike 3, as I wipe a single tear from the corner of my eye. I have linked this dynamic duo so you can get a closer look at what they include and examples by the Stampin’ Up Design team in my on-line store.

Inside shall not be forgotten, and is given another nod to the wedding colors using the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Check out our Last Chance list so you can verify whether an item or two on your wish list are exiting stage left, never to be seen again, or will thrive a bit longer.

Below are pictured links to all the items used for this card, click the link of the item to be taken to my online store where you can learn more about each item.
