Butterfly Gala

Butterfly Gala

Have you ever had a day, where no matter how hard you are trying you just can’t seem to get a card created that is suitable?  Well, that was me today!  As you will see from my card, it is a simple easy as can be, but for some reason, I had a block and could not seem to make it work.

My design is from Sketch Saturday

My card starts with a Tranquil Tide (Tranquil Tide will be retiring as of June 4) card base.  Next is a Mosaic Mood DSP ( available June 4) mat that is cut to reveal a portion of the card base between the cuts.

Three squares are cut from Whisper White card stock to adhere the individual butterflies. A Tranquil Tide mat is cut for each.  After the butterflies are popped on the squares the squares are then popped onto the card front.  Rhinestone Basic Jewels are added to each butterfly.  A greeting is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a scrap of Whisper White.   Just one more thing to add to my day, I did not write down which stamp set the Hello is from so I can not remember.  You can use any stamp set that has a hello stamp if you should choose to make this card.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink on a panel of Whisper White.  Three butterflies are adhered using Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by.  My wish is that you have a blessed day and find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.

Sailing Home Come Sail Away

Sailing Home Come Sail Away

I am sharing a peek at another of the beautiful products that will be available June 4.  This stamp set is going to be one that will become a favorite of many.

I am playing along with Seize the Birthday for today!  The topping is Texture.

And…  Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge.   

My card is simple but makes a great birthday card.  I started with a Night of Navy card base. I cut a panel of Soft Suede and adhered two different panels of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Come Sail Away DSP that will be available June 4 when the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog is released to customers. This stamp suite comes with a Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack. This card pack has several sheets of stickers, one of the sticker is a rope, I used it to make the division between the two Designer Series Paper panels.

I used another of the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack for the focal panel on my card.  It is the lighthouse.  You will want to order this card pack when you are able to place your order.  It can be used for creating so many cards and adding to a card you have already stamped.  One of the Come Sail Away Trinkets is used and is adhered against the lighthouse using Glue Dots.  The two focal panels of DSP are adhered to the Soft Suede mat which is then popped onto the Night of Navy card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The lighthouse panel stamped with the Happy Birthday greeting is from the soon retiring Vertical Greeting stamp set and is also popped on using Stamping Dimensionals.  As I wanted Happy on one side of the card and Birthday on the other, I only stamped the portion that I was wanting to stamp at the time. That finishes the card front.

The inside sentiment stamped in Night of Navy ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock is from the Postcard Pals stamp set and it also will soon be retiring.  I have used the sentiments in this stamp set a lot the past year so I will miss this little stamp set.  The panel is adhered to a Soft Suede mat and then adhered to the Night of Navy card base.  Stickers from the Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack are adhered to the sentiment panel.

Thanks for taking a look today!  I hope you like what you saw and that you get encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day and evening!

Mosiac Mood

Mosiac Mood

Don’t you think this rose is absolutely beautiful?  Also the background paper (both will be available June 4 in the new 2019 catalog, if you would like one let me know).  This Designer Series Paper is called Mosiac Mood.  There is also a stamp set that goes with this DSP.

 

My sketch is from the Global Design Project challenge for this week.


And….  the WWC218- Marsha’s “All About Occasions” Challenge.   These should be fun to do.

The paper looks as if it has been put together one tile at a time, just like a real Mosiac that you would create.

The card base is Garden Green with the Mosiac Mood panel next.  Next comes the square panel that has been cut from Mint Macaron and embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. 

The rose is fussy cut from a panel of the Mosiac Mood DSP and popped on the Mint Macaron panel (that has been cut using the Layering Square Framelits Dies) using Stampin’ Dimensionals same as the Mint Macaron panel being popped onto the green leaf Mosiac Mood panel and the green leaf panel popped onto the card base.  The Happy Mother’s Day is stamped in Garden Green ink on a scrap of the Mint Macaron card stock and popped over the filigree strip from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies.  Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins are popped in various placed on the Mint Macaron panel.

The sentiment from the Well Said stamp set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  A butterfly and rose from the Mosiac Mood DSP is added to the panel using Liquid Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I am just a wee bit late in getting published today.  I have been traveling all day and just a little while ago got settled to do this.  I hope you like the card and can find encouragement or inspiration for your own creations.  Have a great weekend.  I think it is going to be a sunshiny one.

Good Morning Magnolia

Good Morning Magnolia

This is the magnolias from a sheet of the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack. This is a sheet of vellum with magnolias on it.  I fussy cut them all to make the oval, I guess you would call it, although the label with the Thinking of You stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink is from the new Stitched Nested Label Dies (available June 4) and they are not oval.

My sketch inspiration and color come from the Double D Black and White Challenge

I enjoy doing black and white cards.  They are so cool and serene looking.

The card is very easy.  Make a Basic Black card base, then cut a panel of Whisper White card stock and using the Stitched Nested Label Die cut the center of the card out.  Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the greeting on the Stitched Nested Label using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink then place it back into the spot on the card from where it was cut.  Arrange the magnolias around the label.  Add 5 Basic Rhinestone Jewels on the card front and your card front is finished.

The inside sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, Itty Bitty Birthday and Piece of Cake.  I masked part of the sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia as I only wanted the first two line.  A magnolia is stamped in the corner of the sentiment panel so it will not look so plain and empty.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you like my card and find encouragement, inspiration or both for your own creations.  Have a blessed day.
