Beautiful Detailed Dragonfly


I recently saw a similar Dragonfly card set on a blog called handmadebykim.co.uk, and had to do my own version of this beautiful card.      





The cards uses the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies from the Occasions catalog.  The sentiment is from the Suite Sentiments set. 


I used the background from the You've Got This set and the Playful Background set--both from the main catalog.  The Dragonflies are die cut from Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.  The sentiment is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink.
     
  



The striped paper is from the Subtles Designer Series paper stack.  The basecard is Thick Whisper White cardstock    


The ribbon is 3/8" Blushing Bride stitched satin ribbon. 

Recipe:

Stamps: Suite Sentiments You've Got This, Playful Backgrounds
Ink:  Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack
Accessories:  3/8" Blushing Bride stitched satin ribbon, Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Die, Precision Base Plate, Die Brush, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Big Shot Platform with adapter for thin dies

    Stampin' Up! Beautiful You Set - from Simple to Sophisticated

    • Beautiful You Set
    • Beautiful You Swap Card
    • Sale-a-Bration

    Beautiful You simple card set


    I recently saw a similar set of cards using the Beautiful You set, which is one of the most popular new sets from the Occasions catalog.   I love how fast these cards went together yet they could easily be turned into more sophisticated cards by adding shaped die cuts or more base card layers.    





    The cards all use Crumb Cake base cards, Soft Suede layers add interest.  The image is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla cardstock.  


    The sentiments are also from the Beautiful You set and are stamped in Soft Suede on the Crumb Cake base card.       
         
      



    The set of 3 cards would make a quick gift, or add them to your card stash; ready when you need a card quickly.    


    In addition to the Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla, I'm going to try several other combinations including: 
    • Pink Pirouette - Rich Razzleberry - Sweet Sugarplum, or
    • Soft Sky - Pool Party - Bermuda Bay





     And many more combinations of the 50 Stampin' Up! complimentary colors.

    Recipe:

    Stamps: Beautiful You
    Ink:  Soft Suede
    Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake  
    Accessories:  None


    I recently participated in a great swap and received these Beautiful You cards from other Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Keep scrolling down for a closer look at each card below.

        Golden Dragonfly Dreams with Stampin' Up! Dies

        • Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and Dragonfly Dreams Bundle
        • Free selection with $50 ordering during Sale-a-Bration 
        • Free Downloads of  Occasions Mini Catalog & Sale-A-Bration flyer

        Golden Dragonfly Dreams


        Here's a card using several items from the new Occasions catalog that I created for a recent swap.  I love how fast this card went together yet its sophisticated enough for family, friends or office mates.  




        The card is made mostly with new detailed dies for both the cut-out flower design and the dragonfly.  The flower and dragonfly chads are large enough that the die brush easily remove all of the small pieces quickly and easily if you use the Precision Plate and the newest Big Shot platform from Stampin' Up!.  

        The 1/4" Very Vanilla bow adds more dimension to the card, yet slides easily into an envelope and holds its shape during mailing.  I've popped the dragon fly up on on a small piece of Dimensionals.          
          






        The sentiment is from the new Suite Sentiments from the Occasions catalog.  This new set includes a variety of sentiments in various fonts that will work well with many cards and tags.  

         You can create an entire page of embossed sentiments very quickly.  Stamp the sentiment multiple times on your paper -- this card used Very Vanilla paper  -- and then cover the whole sheet with Gold embossing power.  Shake the loose powder back into your embossing tray and then use your heat embossing tool to set the embossing powder sentiments.  Then use your dies to cut out the sentiments.  It only takes a few minutes to cut out several sentiments ovals with the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies.  These dies give your sentiment a finished look using only one layer.  I often make extra sentiments when I make them this way.  I save the extras and use them to make quick cards when I'm in a hurry later, yet want to add an embossed sentiment.  



          

        Recipe:

        Stamps: Suite Sentiments
        Ink:  VersaMark
        Paper: Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, Falling In Love Designer Series Paper , Gold Foil Sheets
