Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings with Irresistible Blooms — Hooray It’s Your Day

February 23, 2023 admin

I have created an easy fun fold to share with you today. This is probably one of the easiest card I have ever created. The Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper did most of the work along with butterflies that I had cropped earlier using a butterfly die from Brilliant Wings Dies.

It has been a while since I entered Double Trouble Challenge, somehow it was deleted from my list, happy I had a note from someone to remind me.

I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge as that is one of the requirements for the Double Trouble Challenge. Happy 2nd Birthday to Creative Creases.

I am entering the Allsorts Challenge as their challenge is Wings and I have butterflies on my card.

I stamped a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms stamp set and a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set on pieces of Basic White card stock in Memento Black ink. I cut a piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper in 3 pieces and adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I then cut a solid colored piece from the same package of Designer Series Paper adhering it also using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The butterflies are popped over this piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A Basic White envelope gets a panel of Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you took the time to linger and look at my other blog post and cards and that you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Feel free to CAS(E) any card. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy with Brilliant Wings

February 3, 2023 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set and Brilliant Wings Dies.

I am entering the Sunday Stamps Challenge for this card.

I am also entering the Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I choose down the left side, Die Cuts, Layers, and Butterfly.

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card stock card base. I cut a panel of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, then cut the panel into three 1-1/2″ strips. The strips are cut into different lengths. They are then adhered to a Calypso Coral mat.

The panel with the Designer Series Paper is adhered to the card base. A Basic White card stock circle is cropped using a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the circle. The circle is adhered to the Designer Series Panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A die from Brilliant Wings Dies is used to crop a butterfly from Basic White card stock. The butterfly is colored using Blending Brushes, Blackberry Bliss, and Mossy Meadow ink. Wink of Stella is applied heavily to the butterfly so it will have lots of sparkles. An Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel is applied to the butterfly’s head. The butterfly is popped on the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Mossy Meadow Braided Twine is used to create a bow. The bow is popped onto the circle using a Glue Dot. Two more Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are plopped around the card front.

You can see the Wink of Stella on the butterfly wings. I did a close-up as a regular photo does not show it up very well.

A panel of Basic White card stock gets two fussy-cut flowers from Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper adhered to the lower right corner. The panel is left blank except for these two flowers for a handwritten message.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts with Brilliant Wings

September 4, 2022 custom

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies and Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. This is the type card you never want to send but need to have a few on hand just in case there is an occasion where you need one.

I am entering the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base with a panel of Basic White card stock cropped using the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies then embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink in the upper left corner of the embossed panel. Three strips of Textured Chic Designer Series Paper are adhered across the bottom of the embossed panel and the panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A butterfly is cropped from Basic White card stock using a die from Brilliant Wings Dies. The butterfly is colored using a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink. It is brushed lightly to give just a faint tint. The wings are then pressed against the Versa Mark ink pad and Gold Embossing Powder is sprinkled on the butterfly and heat embossed using a heat tool. It is then popped over the three strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, the panel is then embossed using the Painted Posie 3D Embossing Folder. A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink onto the panel.

A Basic White envelope gets the flap embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Happy Birthday

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadow Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set along with the Bough Punch, Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies, and Tea Boutique DSP. I remember some DSP that we had at one time can’t remember which year and since I thought it would look very well with this card design, I created a panel of it. You can see below how I did it.

My challenge today is with the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes – today it has an option Butterflies or Hummingbirds.

Since my card is a fun fold I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge.

To create the panel of stripe SSP (Shirley’s Special Paper) I used Washi Tape to create the stripes. I used a Blending Brush and the Sweet Sorbet ink from the stamp pad to color the stripes. When I pulled the Washi Tape off the panel, it left uneven places in the stripes just like the original DSP. My card is a CAS of one I made years ago from a stamp set that had a similar flower and if I remember correctly the DSP was a black background. I think it was before blogging days.

My card is a fun fold. I like fun fold cards. I started with a card base of Sweet Sorbet card stock. This is one of the new 2022-2024 In Colors. The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. It is scored at 4-1/4″ and the left side is scored at 2-1/8″ also.

This is how my card looks opened out flat. The Tea Boutique DSP is adhered to the 1st panel after being matted on a Basic White card stock mat. I probably should have added a panel of DSP to the 2nd panel, but I didn’t. The inside panel has a panel of Basic White card stock adhered to the card base then my stripe piece is adhered over it. The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Basic White side of the panel.

Leaves are punched using the Bough punch, the butterfly is cropped from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. I cropped it from one of the lightest blues and then used a Blending Brush and Parakeet Party ink to color over it as the Parakeet Party was too bright. Part of the flower was cropped from Basic White card stock and colored using a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet ink. The frame of the flower was cropped from a piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock. All of these elements are arranged over two labels cropped from Basic White and Sweet Sorbet card stock.

The greeting label is cropped from Basic White card stock using the next to smallest die from Stitched Rectangle Dies. It is adhered over the Sweet Sorbet and Basic White labels and the flowers, leaves, and a butterfly are arranged around the labels. I do not think the glimmer of the butterfly shows up in the photo.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Tea Boutique DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.

Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies along with the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Stamp Set. The card is a CAS(E) of one Mary Deatherage sent me. I even used her greeting as it so appropriate for this card and I do not have the stamp set it is in. I need to create five more sympathy cards. In the past 2-1/2 we have lost six family members and friends. This card is for our friend who lost his wife and daughter in a plane crash in Alaska last Thursday. It was an effort getting it made and I hope it will be easier getting the other done.

My inspiration comes from two challenges today, one is the Fusion Card Challenge. I chose the butterfly on the kitty’s nose.

The other is the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge. It has butterflies and the colors I used to create the background.

The first thing on the menu was to color a panel of Basic White card stock using Blending Brushes and the following inks: Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Misty Moonlight, Polished Pink, and Old Olive inks.

I took a panel of Basic White card stock and using the Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Dies cropped three butterflies from the Basic White panel. Once cropped I popped the negative portion of the panel over the panel of Basic White card stock that I had colored using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The cropped butterflies were then popped back into the negative spaces using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals that I cut in half to fit the solid spots on the butterflies.

The greeting from Mary’s card is popped in the left corner. 2021-2023 In Color Jewels are popped around the card front. After all this, the butterfly panel is adhered to a Basic White card stock base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Sentiments from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set and the In Your Words Stamp Set are stamped in Old Olive ink on the Basic White panels. A butterfly is cropped, then popped back to the negative space.
