Thinking of You Butterfly

Thinking of You Butterfly

I’ve certainly been on a butterfly kick. Making them in any color you want can be addicting AND fun!

Using sponge daubers, I swirled color onto my Whisper White cardstock using  Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.  I wasn’t deliberately making circles and was surprised with what I created!

Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight

Once the paper dried, I cut out a butterfly using the Butterflies Thinlits.  I LOVE how the butterfly turned out!  Imagine all the possible beautiful color combinations!  When using this die, I recommend adding a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the thinlit.  This helps all the tiny pieces come out.  Sometimes I also run the “sandwich” through my Big Shot twice just to be sure that it is completely cut out.

I hope you’ll give this a try and if you do, I’d love to see what you’ve created!

Tin of Cards Project Kit

One of the new products that immediately caught my eye can be found right on the front of the catalog – the Tin of Cards Project Kit.   In the kit you’ll receive a printed tin box and materials to make 16 cards.  I placed my order for it yesterday and can’t wait for it to arrive!  I also ordered the coordinating stamp set, Tin of Cards.  You can watch the video below for more information about this new card kit!

The new 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! catalog is now live! Click HERE to look inside!

2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalog

What’s really fun about today is that not only can you order from this new catalog but the Occasions and 2014-2015 Annual catalog as well.  You can order from all three catalogs today but starting tomorrow, you’ll only be able to order from the brand new catalog.

The project that I have for you today has lots of new products but my sentiment is from the Occasions catalog (So You #137165) which means that today is the last day to order it!

Bohemian Gift Bag

I’ve made this cute bag from the brand new Bohemian Designer Series Paper and the Gift Bag Punch Board.  I tied it up with the yummy new Dotted Lace Trim in Delightful Dijon (one of the new In Colors).  It comes in all of the five new In Colors.  It is absolutely beautiful in person!

As you can see in the Product List below, the punch board also makes holes (this part is optional) in the bag so you can close it up.  I had a hard time keeping the bag closed while I made my bow with the lace trim so I just used a clip.  It made it so much easier!

Hello Sunshine Revisited

I posted this card yesterday but haven’t had a chance until now to give you the details about it so thought I would just start a new post.  The flowers come from the set Butterfly Basics in the Occasions catalog. I am happy to say that it will carry over and be in the new catalog.  It has been a very popular stamp set!

Hello Sunshine

I stamped the flower in Memento Ink  onto Whisper White cardstock.  Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! no longer carries colored pencils so I used my Prismacolor set to color in the petals and leaves.  I find it so relaxing to color.  I thought about using my blender pen to soften the colors a bit but I did this while at my mom’s and didn’t have one with me.  My sentiment comes from the set So You, also in the Occasions catalog, but sadly it will not be carrying over.  I wish I had started using this set when it first came out!

I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock, which I felt complimented the purple used for the flowers. I popped up the top layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  All in all, it’s a fairly quick and easy card to make!

Thank you for stopping by today!  As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
