Powder Pink Orchids

  • Powder Pink Orchids
  • Final Days to earn extra $35 in Stampin' Rewards!

Climbing Orchids Stamp Set


Today I'm playing with the Climbing Orchids Stamp set and the coordinating Orchid Builder Framelits.   I also used a new embossing folder -- one of the new, very thick folders -- called the Pinewood Planks.  I choose to use the new In Color, Powder Pink for the colors on this card.   

      



To reduce stamping time, I mounted several of the Orchid Layers onto a single large block and stamped them at the same time.  I then used tiny sticky notes to hold several framelits in place so that I could run several dies through the Big Shot at the same time, again saving time.  I cut enough for four cards, which caused me some confusion because of the large number of pieces on my work surface until I started assembly.  









I used thick Whisper White for the base card, then a background layer of Powder Pink and then a Whisper White layer run through the Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Its recommended to spritz your paper before running it through the embossing folder, but I just wanted a light impression of a wood planks so the Orchids were the focal point of the card.  The sentiment layer is cut using one of the oval shapes in the Stitched Shape Framelit dies.  

The edges of the flowers and the oval shape were sponged with a sponge dauber and Powder Pink ink.  The Climbing Orchid set includes several different stem lengths and shapes so you can create a variety of stems.  The sentiment is one of three in the Climbing Orchid stamp set.   You can save 10% on the Climbing Orchid Photopolymer Bundle by purchasing the stamp set and dies together.  See below for Product number and link to my store to order

Butterfly Flutters Move Me

  • Flutter Little Butterflies
  • Buy your Daisy punch before its gone!

Butterflies Move Me


Today I'm playing with a new die set called Move Me.  It coordinates with a stamp set called, You Move Me, but I only used the dies.  The butterfly die from this thinlit set is two dies that can be used together.  The inside die creates the detailed wings.  The larger, outside die creates the butter fly shape.  Both can be run through the Big Shot together to cut the Basic Black image.  Then the larger shape die is used to cut out a shape to use as a backing to give the butterfly color.  I ran the outer shape die through the Big Shot to cut the Lemon Lime Twist butterfly backing.  

      






I used a base card of Lemon Lime Twist, then a layer of Basic Black and then a background layer from the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Pack in Lemon Lime Twist.  I created a Whisper White image block matted in Basic Black for the two butterflies.  







The sentiment is cut using the smallest of the Stitched Shape Framelit dies and matted onto a Basic Black scalloped circle cut with the Layering Circles Thinlits.  

The butterflies dies is part of the You Move Me Bundle, with the You Move Me Stamp set.  Purchased together, you save 10% and the item numbers are listed below.

The body of the butterfly includes one of the smallest Glitter Enamels, which is the perfect accent for this card.  This card brightened my day!  I love this sentiment so much that it sits on one of my clear blocks on my stamping desk permanently ... and its retired... from the Sunburst Saying set, but too great to give up.

Stamps: Sunburst Sayings (Retired)
