Life is Beautiful using the Colorful Seasons stamp set

  • Beautiful Life with the Colorful Season and new In Colors
  • Sneak Peek at new In Colors
  • Hello Lovely Project Life class

Life is beautiful


I played with a couple of the new In Colors today.  This card uses the new In Colors Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist.  Its a simple card with a Powder Pink basecard, a Whisper White layer, and it uses the new 1/2" Powder Pink Finely Woven Ribbon.    




The card would be a great make-and-take for new stampers.  You could add a Night of Navy layer and a sentiment block with the stitched Shapes Die Cuts to step up this card for experienced stampers. 

I use the Colorful Seasons stamp set for the leaf images and the sentiment.       







The large leaf in the Colorful Seasons set is a two step stamp set,  While the see-through photopolymer set is easy to position to create a perfect leaf, I chose to use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to align the two-step stamping perfectly.  The large leaf actually looks like a die cut with dimension after it's stamped and Powder Pink is so soft that it looks like it is covered with vellum.  I can't say enough about how much I love this new Colorful Seasons stamp set and these new In Colors.   

     


Thanks to Magical Scrapworld for the inspiration for this card.

Butterfly drama

  • Bold Black and White Butterfly
  • Register now for Hello Lovely Project Life class

Black Butterfly drama


I did a very quick card  today.  It looks striking in real life, but the black on black doesn't photograph very well. think it looks very striking.  I've always loved black and white cards.  They can be very simple yet they can be quite elegant.   




The basecard is Thick Whisper White, then a layer of Basic Black, and finally a layer of Whisper White.  The black banner is 2 inches wide and the tag bottom is hand cut.  Tip.  In the center of the bottom cut up about 1/2".  Then cut from the left site to the top of the center cut and then cut from the right edge to the top of the center cut.  Sometimes its just faster to do banners by hand than to search for the punch or  dies.    






The butterfly is cut with the Butterfly Thinlits.  You will want to use your Precision Base Plate with your Big Shot to ensure the butterfly cuts cleanly.  Then use the Die brush and the foam pad to remove all of the small pieces cleanly and quickly. 

The square the butterfly sits on is the largest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The butterfly is popped up on Dimensionals cut from the edge of the Dimensional sheet.  

     


Rhinestone Basic Jewels accent the body of the butterfly.  The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, available from the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog which will be released June 1. 




Recipe:

Stamp: Colorful Seasons (sentiment)
Ink:  Basic Black, 
Paper:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Basic Black  
Accessories:   Stitched Shapes Thinlit Dies, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Standard Cutting Pads, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

Fabulous Flamingo from Stampin' Up!


Fabulous Flamingo stamp set


I'm doing a really quick post today, as I'm behind in putting together my next class and need to finish and post it.  Today's card uses Fabulous Flamingo and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper. 




The basecard is Daffodil Delight and the matt around the flamingo is Calypso Coral.  The green leaves is one of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series papers.  

The Fabulous Flamingo, one of the new stamps in the 2017-02018 catalog coming out June 1, is a three-step stamp.  However, I've only been using two of the three stamps and then using ink pad ink and an aqua painter to finish the body of the flamingo.    I love the stamp that makes the water and can't wait to use it with other sets, such as a chairs in the new Colorful Seasons set.  I also colored the water with ink and an Aqua painter.  

     


This card also showcases the new Glitter enamels in Ombre shades for multiple hues in Dapper Denium, Crushed Curry, Berry Burst, and Old Olive.  The new Glitter enamels come in a package of 4 colors and 4 sizes in gradated shades.  Three different sizes of the Crushed Curry Glitter enamels are used on this card.  

Glitter Enamel Dots in multiple hues


The  sentiment is from one of my favorite sentiment sets from the Occasions catalog -- Suite Sentiments -- which will retire May 31.  The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black on a Stitched Shapes Circle Die Cut.  


Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, 144137


Recipe:

Stamp: Fabulous Flamingo, Suite Sentiments (sentiment)
Ink:  Basic Black, Calypso Coral, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz,
Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Delightful Daisies Designer Series Paper, Whisper White, Calypso Coral
Accessories:   Stitched Shapes Thinlit Dies, Aqua painter, Glitter Enamels, Standard Cutting Pads, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals
