Using colorful, beautiful paper as the focal point makes for a quick and easy card!
The paper I’ve used for my card comes from the Petal Garden Designer Series stack which is part of the Petal Garden Suite. It comes with 48 sheets of double-sided 6″ x 6″ paper. The coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors are Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Whisper White. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to know which colors to use with any of their Designer Series Paper. This is really important to me when I’m creating a card because I don’t want to waste my time wondering what colors go with a particular paper.
I used Old Olive as the base of my card with a layer of Pool Party on top.
The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral using the stamp set, You’re So Sweet and cut out with the Layering Circles Framelits. The scalloped circle is also cut out using these Framelits.
The sentiment sits on top of Pool Party card stock cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I love how these Framelits coordinate so well with the all of the Layering Framelits!
The leaf on the circle was stamped in Old Olive using the stamp set, Oh So Eclectic. I really, really like the watercolor look of this stamp.
The card is finished off with the Glitter Enamel Dots which I’m happy to say are back in stock!

Several weeks ago I received this beautiful card from my Team Leader, Dawn. I love all the colors she used and her choice to add a black butterfly. It really stands out! Dawn also used silver metallic thread behind the Starburst Punch (new!), a technique I really like! Dawn loves glitter and if you look closely at the picture below, you can see that she added glitter to the butterflies, using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Such a fun touch!
Dawn used:
- the beautiful Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper along with Lemon Lime Twist and Soft Sky cardstock.
- Move Me Thinlits and Basic Black cardstock to create the butterfly and Soft Sky for the “base” of the butterfly
- Starburst punch and 1-3/4″ Circle Punch behind the butterfly
- Lemon Lime Twist cardstock cut at both ends with the Triple Banner Punch
- Silver Metallic Thread underneath the Lemon Lime Twist starburst
- Fabulous Flamingo stamp set to stamp the small butterflies with Soft Sky ink and then some Wink of Stella for a sparkly finish to the butterflies

Happy Monday!
Yesterday I shared a card I made using the Move Me Thinlits Dies. These thinlits were not on my original “want to have” list but after seeing numerous cards using the butterfly die, I was hooked!
This is not your ordinary set of dies! Using the die in the upper right hand corner will create an interactive card with a stamped image that appears to flutter. Yes, flutter! (You can see it in action in the video below!)

Welcome to my new and improved blog! For many months now my blog, behind the scenes, just hasn’t been working correctly. When I found someone who could help me, I decided to refresh my banner and the overall look and feel of my blog. I couldn’t be happier! Christina Celona did a wonderful job and was so easy to work with!
Onto today’s card! The star of this card is the gorgeous Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper. You have to see this paper in person as pictures just don’t do it justice! It’s really heavy too so it would be great for creating boxes or bags.
The butterfly on my card was made using a new set of Framelits for the Big Shot called Move Me. I’m a sucker for anything with butterflies.
My sentiment is from the stamp set Awesomely Artistic. I heat embossed “Friend” onto a piece of Basic Black and then cut it out with one of the dies in the Bunch of Banners Framelits. The small die worked perfectly for this word!
The brand new Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were just the right size for the back of the butterfly.
This really is an easy card to create and the Foil Frenzy DSP is stunning! If you’d like to purchase any of the products I used to make today’s card, click on any of the items below and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store!
