Just a note…a pretty gold embossed butterfly on my first card today. I die cut a white card-stock panel with the Rectangle Basic die set, then die cut the Corden Butterfly die in the panel.
I die cut the Powell Butterfly die, inked it and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I only glued it to the card base in the very center so the wings can be lifted and shaped a little.
I stamped and embossed the sentiment…layered the panel onto a Memory Box Lagoon A2 notecard and glued on a few 4 mm gold sequins.
An easy CAS card that lets the gold make the statement!

Next card…
For this Happy Easter card I die cut the Egg Swoosh die in metallic gold card-stock, adhered it to the white panel that I die cut with the Memory Box Rectangle Basics die set and stamped happy easter in mint green ink.
I die cut and colored the Stitched Eggs with Distress inks and the mini ink blending tools. Then glued them on.
I mounted the white panel to the card with a piece of craft foam that I die cut with the same Rectangle Basics die set. I just use ATG tape on both sides to adhere to the panel and then to the Memory Box A2 notecard.
Another CAS (clean and simple) card ready for the next holiday!

Two more Clean and Simple beauties, Pam. X
Beautiful CAS cards! You know how much I love CAS!
Love both cards but especially the butterfly one – I have this thing for butterflies. Love the gold n the wings.
Beautiful! I’m partial to the butterfly, as well. The very soft colors combined with that pop of gold is such an eye catcher! Love them both, though…!
Every day a new winner or two!!! I’m really feeling the gold!!
Love them! They are so beautiful!
Ooooh, love the gold and the beautiful simplicity and that awesome minty green on your second card that reminds me of my stamp room which I haven’t visited for several days. Darn sunny weather (JK, love it). Got all kinds of running around to do today, so no stamping… I’m getting antsy for it, especially when I see inspiration like this.
As always perfect cards!

Hi there. I saw your card over on Darnell’s blog and it caught my eye. What a beautiful CAS card. That teal behind the butterfly is gorgeous. And the gold… It all goes together so perfectly!!
Both of these cards are so pretty and I love the gentle curves of the second card.
Wow, I absolutely adore your Easter card, such great use of dies and the addition of gold adds a lot of luxury to your card! Great job! Thank you for joining our April challenge at HLS!
