Stampin' Up! Mellow Yellow Dragonflies

  • Mellow Yellow Dragonfly Dreams
  • Upcoming classes
  • Don't miss your Sale-A-Bration free gift

Stampin' Up! Detailed Dragonfly


I love this card!!  Just looking at it makes my eyes happy and my heart swell!  I can't explain what this lovely combination of colors does to me!  Just like yesterday, I used another paper from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack which are preprinted with a outdoor backgrounds and a variety of graphic designs.    





I'm usually not a big fan of yellow, but the color combination of So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Gold Foil and this flower image from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack just really "worked!"  I gold embossed the sentiment on a So Saffron oval cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.   
  






I have had the pieces for this card sitting on my workspace for about a month.  I just couldn't finish it because I couldn't decide how to add the sentiment.  I tried a variety of ribbons, a bunch of banners shapes, and it just wasn't working.  I was cleaning up a corner of my work space and noticed the silver embossing powder tray had tipped over and was mixed with the gold embossing powder.  While cleaning out the Gold embossing powder tray, I looked at the partially completed card and the light bulb went off to use gold embossing for the sentiment.  I tried it on Very Vanilla, but it was just too stark.  Then I grabbed a scrap of So Saffron and just melted when I saw the results.   It pulled the card together so well.  I hope you like this card as much as I do.

Stamp:  Rose Wonder (Sentiment)

    Stampin' Up! Sealed with Love isn't just for Valentine's

    • Love notes
    • Hold the Date for upcoming classes
    • Final month for Sale-A-Bration bonuses

    Stampin' Up! Sealed With Love set


    I'm simply not ready to put away my Sealed with Love stamp set.  Although it is mainly a Valentine set, I believe it works well for "anytime"cards for people you love.  I did two different versions.       

    CLick for larger image



    I used some of the papers from the A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper Stack (141637) and the overall colors from A little Fox suite.  The sentiment and die cuts are from the Sealed with Love set and the Love Notes Framelits Dies.    






    I love that the mini envelope dies have details like envelope liners and die cut inserts with matching stamps.  I think this is one of the most creative stamp sets Stampin' Up! included in the Occasions catalog!   Accents include a couple of rhinestones.

      Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils and Coloring inside the Lines

      • Using watercolor pencils on the Inside the Line paper
      • Watercolor pencils techniques video
      • Occasions Catalog & Sale-A-Bration videos

      Watercolor pencils with Inside the Line 


      One of my favoite new items from the Occasions catalog is the water color pencils and this wonderful new Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, a Sale-A-Bration free selection with a $50 order.  
           




      This was one of the cards we made during OnStage.  We cut the Designer Paper into pieces and then colored only parts of the flower image and the bumble bee.  I'm in love with that big plump bumble bee!   This used dry watercolor Pencils.  I can't wait to try this same technique with the acquapainters.  Take a look at the video below to see different techniques with these new watercolor pencils.

      Recipe for card:

      Stamps: Dragonfly Dreams
      Ink:  Watercolor Pencils, Tangerine Tango
      Paper: Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango
      Accessories:  5/8" Burlap Ribbon, Basic Black Bakers Twine 




      Here's a video showing more ideas for using the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper, which is one of the free Sale-A-Bration selections with a $50 order.    





      The next video shows a number of ways to use the new Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils.  This shows watercolor pencil techniques using: 


      • Dry water color pencils,  
      • Blending them with the  acqua painters or the blender pens, or 
      • How to do a water color wash with the Stampin' Up! water color pencils  







      In an earlier post, I showed tips on modifying your colored pencils case to more easily see the colors.  If you missed it, take a look back at that post, now.
