Wildflower Butterfly

This card is one that you really need to see in real life to appreciate the paper.

I've used Thick Whisper White for the base card and added a layer of the Wildflower Fields DSP that is currently a free Sale-a-bration item.

The paper is definitely one of those scrummy sets that it is a shame to use - but I am trying.

I have also used:

Stamps - Happy Birthday, Everyone (hostess set), Watercolour Wings
Butterflies Thinlits
Blackberry Bliss ink
Pearl Basic Jewels

It's another simple but effective one.

Don't forget you can see it for real and get the paper by having a party or making a £45 order until the end of March :-)

Butterfly Extravaganza

This card is mainly Stampin' Up! so I hope I can get away with adding it on here!

The card base and white embossed card here are actually Anna Marie card because this is a 7x7" card but the gorgeous images are all Stampin' Up!

I've used the in colours of Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Old Olive.

All other products used:
Watercolor Wings stamp set
Wild About Flowers stamp set
Awesomely Artistic stamp set
Butterfly Basics stamp set

Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits
Butterflies Thinlits
Bold Butterfly Framelits

Extra-Large Oval Punch
Bitty Butterfly Punch
Brick Wall Embossing Folder
Vellum Cardstock

This is probably one of those cards that you don't want to add up all the products used - but I am really pleased with it for a special card.

I finished the butterflies with some rogue pearls too!

You can Create It - June

This is the kit I received for the challenge in June:

We have to use at least a bit of every item in the kit.

I decided not to make a card this time to challenge myself a bit more.

I used the Gift Bag thinlit and turned the 3 banner punched pieces into bookmarks by using the Tag Topper punch on the other end.

I ran the gift bag through the Fluttering embossing folder and have used a selection of Watercolor Wings butterflies and the little one from Kinda Eclectic to add to the project.

I've used the Neutral DSP stack to add a strip to the bookmarks and finished them with little vellum flowers, pearls and a bow from the bag thinlits.

Monica's blog here is showcasing some this month.

And some more!

And more butterflies!

This is one of the notecards I've decorated today.

I've used the Watercolor Wings set again and the leaves from the Butterfly Basics set.

I've used Old Olive for the leaves and Wisteria Wonder & Elegant Eggplant for the butterfly and spotty border.  With a touch of  Rich Razzleberry for the butterfly body and antenna.

Both butterflies are cut out with the new Bold Butterfly thinlits and finished with a pearl.

There are so many gorgeous combinations to be done with this set and I haven't used all the stamps in it yet.

Last chance to get £130 worth of product PLUS 2 free stamp sets all for just £99 by joining tomorrow.

More butterflies

This is one of the other cards I made using the Watercolor Wings set.

For the background I have embossed a piece of Whisper White with another new square embossing folder called Fluttering - isn't it lovely?

Both of the large butterflies are stamped in the same way as the large one on yesterdays post but with Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo.  For this one though I have then used the Butterflies framelits which were a carry over from the seasonal catalogue to cut the top one - another great effect.

The bottom butterfly is cut from Bermuda Bay using the second framelit in the new Bold Butterfly set.

This sentiment is from a new hostess set called Floral Wings which handily enough also has a butterfly that fits the large framelit above!

Gorgeous butterflies

As soon as I saw a sneak peek of the Watercolor Wings set I knew it was a must have.

I had a quick play yesterday and was addicted, it's fab!

It's a two-step stamping photopolymer set - with matching framelits.

For the base of this card I have used the new thick Whisper White cardstock.

I've then used a piece of the thinner Whisper White and embossed it with the new Brick Wall embossing folder.  This folder is 6x6" too which is new to Stampin' Up!

The butterflies are made up from several of the stamps in the set, for example the larger butterfly uses 5 in total.  There are 15 stamps in the set which includes 3 sentiments and this gives lots of options for different butterfly combos - some more of which I will share tomorrow.

The colours used on this card are Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.  The sentiment is one from the set and I've punched it out with my new Washi Label punch.

The stamps and framelits are available in a bundle for the excellent price of £32.50 if you're tempted!
