Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets for Fun Folds Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends, welcome to a fun new blog hop!  It’s the Fun Folds Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!  We’ve got a talented line-up of demonstrators from all over. This is going to be a once-a-month hop and all our cards will be fun folds!!  Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Drapery 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new upcoming Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Bundle and the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Framed Florets Drapery 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Fitting Florets DSP to the top of a Polished Pink mat. I scored, cut & folded the panel of Fitting Florets DSP (as in diagram below) and adhered it to the bottom of the Polished Pink mat. I wrapped a piece of Balmy Blue 3/8″ Double Stitched Ribbon around the card front on the seams of the DSP and adhered it to the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the card front to a Soft Succulent card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Here is my template for the drapery fold.

On a small panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets Photopolymer Stamp Set in Polished Pink Ink. I fussy cut the sentiment using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Balmy Blue, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Framed Florets Dies. I adhered the floral image to the card front over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set in Polished Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it using my Balmy Blue, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Polished Pink mat then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Fitting Florets DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all planning something fun. We’re actually getting autumn weather here. I’ve started to see the leaves turning which I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen since summer didn’t want to leave us and it was so dry. I’ll be at work all day today, but have tomorrow off, YAY!!!

Today’s card is one that I on World Card Making Day last Saturday. This is one of the designs from Stampin’ Up!’s event and I added my own little twist. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Bundle for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Water Painters and added Old Olive Ink to the 2 panels of Shimmer White cardstock. Using my Water Painter again, I added Flirty Flamingo Ink to the smaller panel of Shimmer White. I set them aside to dry. On the panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the leaf image from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set 5 times in a circle in Old Olive Ink.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Gingham Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the stamped Basic White panel to the card bae using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Country Wreaths Dies, I cut the 2 detailed wreaths from the panels of Shimmer White paper. I cut the detailed bow from the small panel of Shimmer White paper. I adhered the detailed wreaths together using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered wreaths to the stamped Basic White panel using Glue Dots. I adhered the bow using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set on a strip of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I cut the end on an angle using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the wreath and bow.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink in the center of the wreath. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Wreaths Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Old Olive Ink around the envelope front and flap.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Fall Hello

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo is Colors of Fall. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle, Stampin’ Up! Perched In A Tree Bundle and Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set for my Clean and Simple card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #181.  How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set on the bottom of a Basic White card front. I embossed the panel using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped the branch image from the Perched In A Tree stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the image our using the Aspen Tree Dies. I adhered the branch to the top of the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped leaf image from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks. I stamped the outline image full strength and the fill image in the same color stamped off once. I cut the leaves out using the Chic Dies.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie leaves to the branch using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss and Real Red leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink on a Basic White panel. Using the Chic Dies, I cut 2 of each of the detailed leaves from Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. I adhered the die cut leaves to the top of the panel. I trimmed them even with the panel using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Fall 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Season of Chic stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Inks.

Stampin’ Up Cottage Wreaths Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I hope you were able to catch all or some of our Facebook Live videos yesterday. I was able to catch all of them and I thought they were great. A lot of great ideas. If you joined our World Card Making Day Facebook page, the videos will be up until Facebook decides that we can’t keep them, so you can go back and watch them over and over. If you haven’t joined yet, you can still join. We are going to allow people in for a few more days.

Today’s card is the one I made on the Facebook Live yesterday. If you caught me live or watched the replay, thank you. If you want to watch and stamp along, the measurements are listed below. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreath Bundle and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Here is the template as promised for cutting the card base.

I started by cutting and folding the card base as in the image above. I embossed a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Blending Brush, I added some Gray Granite Ink lightly to the embossed panel. I adhered the embossed panel to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered 2 panels of Boughs of Holly DSP to either side of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths Photopolymer Stamp Set in Gray Granite Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom portion of the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the wreath I used the Baby Wipe Technique. I folded a baby wipe in quarters. Using my Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Ink Refills, I added drops of ink on the baby wipe. I inked up the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set from the baby wipe and stamped a Basic White panel. I cut the wreath out using the Country Wreaths Dies. I adhered the wreath to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a multi loop bow using Linen Thread and added it to the wreath using a Glue Dot. I added some of the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the wreath. I added a couple Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreath stamp set on a Basic White panel, using the ink from the baby wipe, stamping it off once on scrap paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Gray Granite Ink inside the wreath. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gray Granite mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set on the bottom of the envelope front. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreaths stamps et in Gray Granite Ink inside the wreath. I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. I hope you will CASE this card and please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under my post. I’d love to see your take on the card.

Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest & Gathered Wheat Fun Fold Video Tutorial

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I’ve got to go into work today 😦 I usually have off on Friday’s, but it’s the last day of the month and I have to get all my end of the month paperwork done and ready for doing my bills tomorrow. Has anyone made any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working tomorrow in the office for the 1st of the month, and I’ll be working Sunday too. Tomorrow is World Card Making Day. I hope you have joined in with our Facebook page. Details are below.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdeisgns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hello Harvest Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Gathered Wheat Cling Stamp Set and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by scoring and folding the Cajun Craze card base as in measurements below. The first and third folds are mountain folds, the second and forth are valley folds.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdeisgns.com

I adhered the 4 panels of Rustic Harvest DSP to the 4 coordinating mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the 4 layered panels to the 4 folded panels on the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdeisgns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest stamp set by coloring the stamp using my Cajun Craze and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers. I masked the pumpkin using a Post-It note or Masking Paper and stamping the pumpkin image on it and fussy cutting it using my Paper Snips. I stamped the small wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink above the pumpkin image. Using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Marker, I added a little color under the pumpkin for a shadow.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdeisgns.com

I adhered the stamped panel to the front of the small card base using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdeisgns.com

On another panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Harvest stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink on either side of the panel. I adhered the stamped panel to the back of the small card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the small card base towards the bottom of the large card base using Stampin’ Seal + for that little extra hold. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped just the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat. I adhered the larger panel of Rustic Harvest DSP to a Basic White mat then to the back panel of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the small, layered panel to the back panel of the card base so that it would be behind the small card. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdeisgns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin image from the Hello Harvest stamp set on the envelope front coloring it with my Cajun Craze and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers. I masked the pumpkin and stamped the wheat image from the Gathered Wheat stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on the pumpkin. I adhered a panel of Rustic Harvest DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I hope everyone’s week is going well. I had 1 day off this week, and it was yesterday. I made the most of it for sure. By 9am I had brought my daughter to the train station, started laundry, did a sink full of dishes from a mess I made, and I had 20 containers of homemade pesto made. My basil was unbelievable this year, I had leaves the size of my hand, and the smell was amazing. The rest of the day was spent doing my normal chores around the house, running errands, taking the puppy out multiple times, appointments a little bit of gardening and finding time to catch up on emails. I’m really looking forward to my next day off, next Tuesday, already lol.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts. This week we have 2 inspiration photos. The inspiration is Travel Abroad or Stay At Home. You can pick something from the photo, or you can go with the colors. Here is my card that was inspired from the 1st challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Ranunculus Romance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set, Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch and the Vellum Layering Designs Paper for my Clean and Layered card this week.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #180a or 180b.  Which of the photos are your inspired by?

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of the Vellum Layering Designs Paper to a Basic Black card base. I only put the adhesive behind where I was going to put the artwork since you can see it through the vellum.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

From a panel of Basic White cardstock, using my Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch, I punched out 5 rectangles. On 2 of the rectangles, I stamped the floral images from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. On 2 of the rectangles, I first stamped the script image in So Saffron Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I then stamped the sentiments in Tuxedo Black Ink over the script. On the last rectangle, I stamped the Eiffel Tower image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the punched rectangle stamps to So Saffron mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the rose image from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a So Saffron mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the images from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set in Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, So Saffron and Tuxedo Black on the envelope front and flap.

Stampin' Up! Ranunculus Romance Hello 7 creativestampingdesigns.com

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

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope everyone’s weekend is going well. I hope you will all take a moment of silence today for all the lives that were lost over 20 years ago. I remember the day like it was yesterday with all our phone going dead and just glued to the tv watching. My children were both in school in lock down until school was over and I could pick them up. I was so scared of what was happening and what could happen. It was a very sad and scary time.

Today’s card is one that we made at our Stamp Camp Class this past Tuesday night. I thought I’d have fun with a couple techniques with the ladies. This one I saw one of my team members make, Mary Deatherage, and I thought it would be perfect with our fall theme. It’s called the Josephs Coat Technique. You can see Mary’s video making this card Here. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

Today’s card once again uses the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Cling Stamp Set. This is such a perfect set for fall cards and all kinds of techniques.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and using my Blending Brushes I added Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie Inks completely covering the panel. I set the panel to the side to dry completely. You can also use your Heat Tool on the #1 setting to dry the panel. You want to make sure the ink is completely dry before stamping or the embossing powder will stick to the ink and this technique will not work.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Once the panel was completely dry, I stamped the large leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Versamark Ink randomly around the panel. I sprinkled it with my Clear Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. Once the panel cooled, I used my Blending Brush again and brushed Early Espresso Ink all over the panel completely covering it again. Once I had the amount of ink I wanted, I took a paper towel and gently rubbed all over the panel wiping the ink off the embossed areas and letting the colors shine through. I adhered the panel to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Very Vanilla Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered a piece of Old Olive ribbon from the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack to the card front. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Textural Element to the card front just under the sentiment using a Glue Dot. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Soft Seedlings stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used my Blending Brushes and added color to the large leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set and stamped the leaves on the panel. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to an Early Espresso mat and then to the inside of the Very Vanilla Thick card base

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings Josephs Coat 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the large leaf image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set on the envelope front and flap in Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie Inks.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Triple Time

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned or maybe relaxing is the plan. It’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend here in NJ. I’m hoping to get in a walk or 2 with Coraline to get some of her energy out. Tomorrow, I get to visit my team leader Amy for our meeting and see her dog, Ginny. Ginny always knows I’m coming, and I bring her some kind of treat from the bakery.

Today’s card I used a set from the Annual Catalog doing one of my favorite techniques. This card used Stamps, Ink and Paper all layered together. I added a couple embellishment to dress it up a bit. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Triple Time 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern Cling Stamp Set for my Triple Time card today.

Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Triple Time 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the smallest panel of Basic White cardstock. I took the 3 panels of Basic White cardstock and lightly adhered them together using a tiny amount of Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Triple Time 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I randomly stamped the leaf and splatter images from the Forever Fern stamp set in Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Inks on the layered panels.

Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Triple Time 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 2 smaller stamped panels to Rich Razzleberry mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the larger Basic White panel to the Rich Razzleberry card base using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the other 2 panels to the card front matching up the leaf images. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and then to the inside of the Rich Razzleberry card base.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends.  I hope everyone is having a productive week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go live today on my Facebook page since today’s the first day I’m back in the office since last Thursday. I will post something on my Facebook page if I will be going live at 4pm ET.

It’s time for an inspiration challenge for The Card Concepts after a few weeks off for the summer. The inspiration photo is Change of Seasons. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions Cling Stamp Set and the Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my clean and simple card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #179.  How are you inspired by this photo?

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 strips of Tahitian Tide cardstock to a Tea Boutique DSP card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the largest butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the butterfly out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. I then colored the butterfly image using my So Saffron, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the butterfly to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals just in the center bending the wings up a bit.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Label Me Fancy Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the butterfly image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set on either side of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my So Saffron, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Tahitian Tide mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the butterfly using my So Saffron, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope flap.

These stamp sets and dies are available separately or as a bundle. By buying the bundle, you and your customers will save 10% off the retail price. 

Put these wonderful stamp sets and dies together for more papercrafting fun!
