Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Butterflies CAS

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend and the last day of May. I hope you have some fun plans in the works for today. It’s the last day of the month so that means I’ll be working in the office closing out for the month. The good thing is, as soon as I finish my work I can come home.

I have a quick CAS card for you today. You know how I’m always saying I do not like yellow and orange. Well, those are the colors I used. There’s something about the new Timid Tiger that I just love.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today

Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Imperfections

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you have off today for Memorial Day, and I hope you will take a moment today to remember all the men and women who gave it ALL to allow us the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Today is also my daughter’s birthday. Her birthday is almost always during Memorial weekend, and we always celebrate it on Memorial Day with a picnic.

Today’s card features my favorite color combo. As most of you know, I just love the Subtle colors, so that’s what I used for today. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Imperfections Bundle along with the Join Together 3D Embossing Folder, Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Emboss the Pool Party card front using the Join Together EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Pool Party card base with Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Small Blending Brush, add Lost Lagoon Ink to a panel of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP. Cut the panel using the 2nd largest square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the die cut square to a Lost Lagoon mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the small bowl image from the Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Imperfections Photopolymer Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink. Stamp the crack image from the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Versamark Ink over the stamped image. Sprinkle it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Inspiring Imperfections Dies, cut the bowl out. Cut 2 of the flower dies cut from a panel of Petal Pink. Adhere the bowl and die cut flowers to the small, layered panel with Glue Dots.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Inspiring Imperfections Dies. Adhere a piece of the Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Flower Accents to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Using the Inspiring Imperfections Dies, cut another flower die and adhere it to the top of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the small bowl image from Inspiring Imperfections stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Kintsugi Inspirations DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Imperfections 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
