Less is More: An Item from Your Bits Box

This week’s challenge from Less is More is to use a bit from your “bits box.” I have multiple envelopes filled with bits that didn’t make it to a card when they were created. For this card, there were actually two:  the card itself where I had die cut a circle in the front of the woodgrain cardbase (Simon Says,) and the beautiful butterfly from Papertrey Ink’s “Butterfly Hope.”

To create the card, I die cut a circular frame from two Simon Says “Stitched Circle” dies from Raspberry Fizz cardstock. The sentiment was stamped inside from the “It’s the Thought” set (PTI), and the butterfly attached to the side.

Here’s a peek at the inside:

I need a few more challenges like this to use up my stash of “bits.”

    That is a superb card Karen! The bright and bold pops of raspberry colour really make your whites look whiter (ooops – that sounds like a washing powder commercial, doesn’t it?) The card base is gorgeous and it is just subtle enough to still fit with our definition of CAS. Love this little beauty. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Less is More xx

    It’s pink, so of course it’s perfection. I like the cut out circle to reveal what’s inside.

    Oh, I’m for pink butterflies and hoard woodgrain card stock! You created a sweet card adding the dramatic frame. It’s a relief to use the “bits”, isn’t it? I used the Butterfly Hope die to create my PTI blog hop card today.

    Beautiful card, Karen. Love the peek through window design and the bright pink. Stands out against all that white. The woodgrain card base adds awesome texture. Thank you for joining us at Less is More. x
