Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Wings

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Wings

Good Morning all!  It is Friday, again, seems it was just here.  For retired people, it should make no difference what day it is but somehow it seems to make that difference.

My card today is featuring the wonderful, beautiful dies that come with the Butterfly Brillance Stamp Bundle.  They are called Butterfly Wings.  Beautiful butterflies can be cropped using these dies.  When I see butterflies or create a card using butterflies, I think of my niece who left this earth much too young.  She loved butterflies and maybe it was so because her name was so related to the outside world — Stormie Woods. 

My design layout is inspired by the Tuesday Morning Sketches.

This is a very easy card for today.  Start with a Bermuda Bay card stock base, add a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP that has been cropped using a Stitched With Whimsy Dies.

Crop another panel using a smaller Stitched With Whimsey Dies to pop over the Vellum card stock butterflies cropped using a Butterfly Wings Dies.  Color the edges of the butterflies using a Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Marker. Adhere a dot of Multipurpose Glue to the dark tip of the butterfly wings to hold them in place.

Crop the smallest Stitched With Whimsy Die, stamp the greeting from Grace’s Garden Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay ink on the cropped label.  Pop a Pearl Basic Jewel on the greeting and two others around the card front. The card front is now finished.

The sentiment panel is left blank for a note except for the side border of butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou DSP

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts

Good morning, I hope everyone’s week has gone great.  My week has been pretty busy, not even card-making time and you know how it is with a card addiction, but life happens and we deal with it.

Today’s card is for a dear, dear friend that lost her husband and then her daughter four days later.  She has been so grief-stricken that she doesn’t want people calling her and won’t answer her phone.  She is a lovely ole lady with flaming red hair still.

Today’s card features the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  I hope this set is around for a long, long time because it has such wonderful sentiments.  I also used the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder and the 2021-2022 Designer Series Paper that was available when someone joined during Sale-A-Bration.  Being a demonstrator I had the opportunity for a short while to purchase this DSP.

Design inspiration comes from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday.   

The card base is Basic White card stock with a panel of Basic Black card stock as the mat for the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder used to emboss the Basic White panel.

I used dies from the Layering Ovals Dies to crop the two ovals for the greeting. One is from the new 2021-2022 DSP the other that the greeting is stamped on in Garden Green ink is from a panel of Basic White card stock.  A length of black ribbon is wrapped between the Basic White card stock and the DSP and a bow is made to pop on.

Hearts are cropped using a die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies to create the shamrocks.  The hearts may be the negative portion of the hearts I have inside on the sentiment panel may be the negative portion, I guess it is according to you think of it.  The three scalloped strips from Basic White card stock at the bottom of the front panel are cut with an old, old and I mean old pair of scissors.  There are more modern ones today.  Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front.

A sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  The hearts are the ones left when I cropped the panel of DSP to get the hearts to create shamrocks.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the 2021-2022 DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden

Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden

Good Day! I hope your day has gone fantastic.  The card I am sharing today features the Dandy Garden DSP and the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set for the sentiment.

The card has a Basic White card stock card base with a Basic Black card stock mat used as the background panel for the 6 individual pieces cut from Dandy Garden DSP.

My design is inspired by the Just Add Ink Challenge which is a sketch challenge.

One of the large dragonflies on the Dandy Garden DSP is fussy cut and popped in the center of the card front. It has been covered with Wink of Stella to give a bit of sparkle.

Hello from any stamp set can be used as a greeting.  I can’t remember which stamp set I used. I fussy cut around this one and popped it on the front of the card using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.  Elegant Faceted Gems are popped on the dragonflies.

A sentiment from the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of So Saffron card stock and a fussy cut dragonfly is popped in the corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Dandy Garden DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden

Good Morning! Can you believe this is the last day of February and the last day of Sale-A-Bration.  You need to get your last-minute order in before the time is gone.  Have a great Sunday.   Are you predicting March in come in like a lamb or a lion?  Could be either according to your location.

My inspiration for the design is from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  

Today my card is created using the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set.  The Butterfly Bijou DSP is also used.

Start with a Just Jade card stock card base. Crop a panel of Basic White card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Stamp in greeting in Tuxedo Memento Black ink then adhere this panel to the card base. Cut the banner across the card from a panel of Butterfly Bijou DSP and for the mat cut a piece from the True Love DSP.

Stamp the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set on the Basic White card stock square that has been cropped using a die from the Stitched Shapes Dies.  Color the image using Rococo Rose and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Mat on a square of Just Jade card stock. Pop one Elegant Faceted Gem on the card front.

Butterflies are fussy cut from a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP and adhered at the top and bottom of the Basic White sentiment panel.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Butterfly Bijou DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink

Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink

Good Morning!  Are you happy it is Friday or does your weekend come in the middle of the week.  That does happen to so many people they have two days off from work in the middle of the week and work weekends.

The card today is a Thinking of You card with the greeting being from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  When you have a Thinking of You card it can be made into a birthday card, sympathy, encouragement, or any kind you chose by the sentiment you have on the inside of the card.  That is what is so great about putting Thinking of You as the greeting.  This card also features the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set, using the hummingbird and flower for the art piece.

Inspiration comes from the Fusion Challenge.  I am playing with both sides, the sketch & the photo.

Start with a card base of Basic White card stock. Adhere a panel of Bermuda Bay card stock over the front of the card base. Next, adhere one of the green panels of DSP from the Oh So Ombre DSP. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere these panels together.

On a panel of Basic White card stock stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink the flower from the Touch of Ink Stamp Set. Stamp the  Thinking of You greeting from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set

Stamp the hummingbird on a separate panel of card stock from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set so it can be fussy cut.  Color the hummingbird and flower using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Shaded Spruce, Highland Heather, and Purple Posy.

Cut two strips of DSP, one from the Oh So Ombre DSP and one from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Flag one end of the Oh So Ombre strip. Adhere the flagged strip over the longer strip then adhere both to the right edge of the card front. Pop three pearls from the Pastel Pearls to the card front.

On a pink panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP stamp a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  Stamp the flower and hummingbird from the A Touch of Ink Stamp Set and color with the same markers as the flower and hummingbird on the card front.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.
