Stampin' Up! Wonderful Romance Stamp set


I'm so happy when I stamp with the beautiful stamp sets from the Occasions Catalog.  Sunning cards seem to just come together with the product suites Stampin' Up! has created for us this Spring.  Today I'm using the Wonderful Romance Stamp set again, paired with the Lace Embossing Folder.  Of course, the alcohol-based Blends Markers add the wonderful highlights to these beautiful images.  If you haven't already done so, download and look through the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to see all of the lovely, new sets and new products available.  



The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then another layer of Whisper White.  Then a third layer of Whisper White is dry embossed with the Lace Embossing folder.     

Then I stamped the Wonderful Romance flower image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White and die cut it with the Wonderful Floral Framelit dies.  I colored the images with Light and Dark Soft Sea Foam and Calypso Coral Blends Markers.  I mounted the die cut image onto a Stitched Oval die cut from Whisper White using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.    

  

The sentiment is also from the Wonderful Romance stamp set.  Before I stamped it on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I used an aqua painter to brush on a big of Grapefruit Grove background to give the sentiment layer some interest.  I then stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I added a small bow and ribbon using the 1/8" Grapefruit Grove Grosgrain ribbon. sentiment.   



Here's today's card with a card I created earlier using the Wonderful Romance stamp set and the same color theme.  If you've fallen in love with the Wonderful Romance stamp set and coordinating dies, you'll be able to purchase them as a bundle with a 10% savings PLUS, you'll qualify for a Free level 1 selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure during Sale-A-Bration.  Add Wonderful Romance stamp set to your Wish List now.

I colored and used only two of the flowers from the second Lovely Lattice image I had stamped earlier.  After coloring the two flowers, I fussy cut them, popped them up on Dimensionals and added them on top of the flowers from the original Lovely Lattice image, adding more texture to the card.  

The sentiment is from the Detailed with Love stamp set from the annual Stampin' Up! catalog.    

  

The sentiment is stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto an oval of Whisper White matted with an oval of Highland Heather cardstock.  I also used the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies to cut two leaves that I added to the edge of the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set

  • Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala stamp set 
  • A card class to Jump Start your January
  • Join Stampin' Up! for $99 and get $175 in merchandise

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala


I love butterflies.  Stampin' Up! has given us a Spring Occasions and Sale-A-Bration chock full of butterflies.  Butterfly punches, butterfly paper. butterfly dies, butterfly accessories, and, of course, butterfly stamps.  Today I'm using the butterfly Gala to help finish my Christmas Thank you cards.  Are you done with your Thank you card? If not, grab some of these new butterfly items you'll be done in no time.  Today is the first day customers can order from the Occasions catalog and get a free product selection with each $50 or $100 you order




The background for this card is the Gingham Gala 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper that I lined with a Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Marker, giving the gingham paper more interest.    

I used a basecard of Lemon Lime Twist, then a layer of Lemon Lime Gingham Designer Series Paper. The sentiment block includes a die cut circle of vellum, then a layer of Whisper White, then a 5-1/2 inch piece of Whisper White  5/8" Flax ribbon, and then a layer of Daffodil Delight stamped with a sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Gorgeous Grape. 

  




The three butterflies are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.  They are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento in and then colored with a Light Gorgeous Grape alcohol-based Blends Marker. Then the butterflies are punched out with the  Butterfly Duet Punch.  It punches both the large butterfly and the small butterfly at the same time.  That speeds up your card-making process.  Then I accented the card with adhesive-backed sequins.        




Take a look at this 60-second Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Project video that I used for the inspiration for today's card.  
  




  

Isn't this a gorgeous card?  You'll love this new Butterfly Gala bundle that you can purchase at a 10% savings, when purchased together.
