Butterfly – Stampin with Shirley G

Painted Seasons with So Hoppy Together

February 5, 2019 admin

Today you get a sneak peek of one of the new Sale-A-Bration goodies, Painted Seasons DSP available February 15. I am also using the So Hoppy Together stamp set, another FREEBIE with a $50 purchase.

Inspiration and design come from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge. I’ve chosen the bottom row—Something New, No Hearts, and Texture. My something new is the new Designer Series Paper that will be available February 15, no hearts in sight and my frog has texture. He’s a cutie!

The card base is Crumb Cake card stock with mats of Poppy Parade and Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The panels are adhered using Liquid Glue.

A background panel is cut using the new Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Painted Seasons bundle that is available February 15. Three strands of Linen Thread is wrapped around the panel and secured in the back with Glue Dots.

A circle has been cut from Crumb Cake card stock using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies. The frog and butterfly from the So Hoppy Together stamp set are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on a square of Whisper White card stock. They are colored using Lemon Lime Twist and Poppy Parade Stamping Write Markers. The frog and butterfly are cut using the dies that are available March 1.

After the frog and butterfly are colored they are popped on the Lemon Lime Twist lily pad which is cut using the Hop on Around Framelits Dies available March 1. The lily pad is then adhered on the Crumb Cake circle and embossed with the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF). Gingham Gala sequins are scattered over the Crumb Cake Circle and then the circle is popped on the Painted Seasons background.

The inside sentiment from the stamp set Well Said is stamped in Crumb Cake on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Poppy Parade card stock. A border is added at the bottom from the Painted Seasons DSP.

That’s my card for today, I hope you like it and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

Botanical Butterfly DSP and Humming Along

December 19, 2018 admin

Welcome!

Another easy card that beginning card makers will love. Making this card a beginner will know that they too can make beautiful cards as many say, “Oh I couldn’t ever make that”. I am using parts of three different stamp sets; Postcard Pals from the Annual Catalog, Humming Along and Butterfly Gala from the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog available for ordering January 3, 2019. The Botanical Butterfly DSP is from the upcoming 2019 Sale-A-Brations catalog ( free with a $50 order) to create my card this week.

The sketch layout for this card is from Sunday Stamps. It is a great layout.

The card base is Balmy Blue, cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. A panel of Pear Pizzazz ( 5″ x 3-3/4″ is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue. A small panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP (Sale-a-bration item available Jan 3) pack is adhered to a panel of Basic Black card stock with Liquid Glue. A length of Whisper White Twine is wrapped it and tied in a bow. This is then popped on the Pear Pizzazz panel using Stamping Dimensionals. The layered panel was adhered to the Balmy Blue card base using Liquid Glue.

The decorative mat for the butterfly is cut using the Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies on a scrap of Whisper White card stock. The butterfly is fussy cut from one of the panels in the Botanical Butterfly DSP pack. They are adhered to the black and white check panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals, Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. Two Sequins from the Iridescent Sequin Assortment is adhered to the right corner using a drop of Liquid Glue.

The inside sentiment is stamped using Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock that has a Basic Black mat. The butterfly images were stamped using Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue ink.

You can see the supplies used for creating this card at the bottom of the post along with the card cuts.

Thank you for stopping by today. My wish as always is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
