Fast Friday card using Brilliant Wings Dies from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle

   

  • Stampin' Up! Brilliant Wings Dies
  • Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle early release is available now
  • Final Days for Bundle Pricing on these carry-over Bundles

Friday's always seem to be busy days, so a Fast Friday card seemed to be called for today.  I chose to use the Brilliant Wings Dies, part of the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle on page 106 of the upcoming Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up!  To keep it simple, I chose a black and white theme with a pop of color.  I created a tag with a tail, and die cut a stitched square as the image surface for my butterfly.  I use the Brilliant Wings Dies to create my butterfly. Then I added a few of the 2020-2023 In Color enamel, which will retire in a few days as my color pop.  The Butterfly Brilliance Bundle is from the new Annual catalog, but is available now as an early-release product.   Item 155821 | 54.75 USD.

The basecard for this cards is Thick Basic White.  Then a layer of Basic Black, and another layer of Basic White.  I then created a Basic Black tag with a tail.  My image layer is a die cut Basic White stitched Square, which I created using the Stitched Shape Dies.

I used the Brilliant Wings Dies to die cut a butterfly out of Basic Black cardstock.  I added 4 Magenta madness Enamel Dots to the body of the butterfly for a little added fun.   I popped the butterfly up on Dimensionals and added it to the stitched square.     


Handmade greeting card ideas using Brilliant Wings butterfly die from the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Bundle



I found two sentiments already mounted on blocks on my work surface, and used them on my cards.  I stamped the sentiments in Tuxedo Black Ink.  I often leave three or four of my most-often used sentiments on my work surface so I can quicly create or personalize cards when I need to finish a card quickly.  You'll find almost any of your smaller sentiments will work with this card layout.  You can also leave the front of your card with only the butterfly image and stamp the sentiment on the inside of your card.

Three greeting cards using Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Packs



In fact, I quickly made three greeting cards using the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack, and I have plenty more cards to continuing using for additional cards.  You'll love pairing these cards with other items in the Hand-Penned Suite, which I've been showing in earlier blog posts.  Customers can begin ordering from the new Stampin' Up!

Floral greeting card using Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack


The flower images were preprinted on this Hand-Penned Memories & More card.  I added a Pale Papaya layer and a Fresh Freesia basecard.  Then I selected a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts Stamp set, and stamped it in Highland Heather.  I added three pearls from the Pastel Pearls accessory pack to complete the card.  The coordinating envelope is from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards and Envelopes on page 127 of the new Annual Catalog.  


Stampin' Up! greeting card idea using Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes


For this card, I simply fussy cut this printed shape, that already included the sentiment, and the floral images from one of the cards, and added Dimensionals before placing it on one of the basecards from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards and Envelopes on page 127 of the new Annual Catalog.   I used  the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends to color three of the silver pearls to match the card.  







In addition to 50 total cards in the Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack, there are also 4 sticker sheets.  Some of these stickers include sentiments, other are printed images ready to add to your cards.  Still others on these sticker sheets are printed in the Hand-Penned style, ready for your to color with Blends, Markers or Watercolor Pencils to coordinate with your card designs.  The main image I chose for this card was already printed and colored.  I added a bow, and one of the stickers from the sticker sheets.  Tip:  Since I wanted to pop this sentiment sticker up on Dimensionals, I brushed the back with powder so it was no longer sticky so I could add my Dimensionals. I used three of the silver pearls from the Pastel Pearls accessory pack to complete the card.  I mounted it on one of the basecards, and it fits perfectly into the coordinating envelope from the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelope pack. 155501 | $10.00 USD.  Add the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards and matching Basecards & Envelopes to your shopping list.   Then on 4 May 2021, when the new annual catalog launches, order it from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.
