Gold Beautiful Day Card


Today's card uses the Butterflies Thinlits and Beautiful Day stamp set to create this beautiful card.  I often heat emboss several blanks when I have all my embossing supplies out.  So, this gold embossed butterfly was sitting on my desk, just waiting to be used.  I had finished organizing my Blends earlier in the day, which made it so easy to grab the colors I needed to create this wonderful butterfly. Does anyone else find their Blends scattered all over their work space after finishing a card?  I just love working with colors!  Blends are the best.  I never understood why I was always drawn to working with colors until I stumbled upon a color test yesterday.  I learned that not everyone sees colors the same way.  No, I'm not talking about someone who is color blind.  I found an online color test that shows I see more colors than most people see.  Apparently, only a small subset of people are able to see this many different color shades. I know...strange.    





For today's card, I used a basecard of Tangerine Tango, then a layer of Peekaboo Peach, and then a layer of Whisper White.  Under the butterfly image, I cut a square of Whisper White and framed it in Gold Foil paper.   

I used the Butterfly Thinlit to cut a delicate butterfly out of Gold Foil.  For the larger butterfly, I heat embossed the outline in Gold Embossing powder and then colored it with Light and Dark Pumpkin Pie Blends alcohol-based Makers and then added some accents with Light Calypso Coral Blends.  I secured the gold foil butterfly to the large butter fly with Glue Dots.




The sentiment is also from the Beautiful Day stamp set and is stamped in Tangerine Tango.   

I added three large Gold sequins from the Metallics Sequins Assortment, which includes, black, copper, gold, clear and silver sequins in a variety of shapes.

I'm having so much fun with this stamp set.  I was so glad to hear from Stampin' Up! that this is one of the Occasions catalog set that will carry over to the new catalog coming out in June.

Flying Home stamp set is great for your Spring Card needs

  • Flying Home stamp set
  • March 25 Card Class open for Registration
  • Less than 2 weeks to earn Sale-A-Bration gift with a $50 or $100 order 

Flying Home Card


Here's a card we're going to make in our card class on March 25.  Is this a fun spring card?  Wouldn't you love to see the look on the face of someone you love when they receive this card from you?  This was such a fun card to make.  Our shades of Pool Party and Soft Sky are so fresh-looking.  This is a perfect Spring card!  I selected a sentiment from the Tabs for Everything stamp set.  This fun stamp set has so many cute, small sentiments.  I choose "hello".  But the set includes "smile," "enjoy," "happy," "wishes," "party" and "love" in small script like the "hello" on this card.  And that's just the start! This set includes 26 additional sentiments in different fonts, plus many other cute elements!    





For today's card, I used a basecard of Pool Party, then a layer of Soft Sky.  The Soft Sky layer is dry embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. 

The banners use the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper, a free Sale-A-Bration selection with a $50 order.  There is a also a white glimmer paper banner from the Myths and Magic 6" X 6" Glimmer Paper Pack.  There is also a strip of Myth & Magic Specialty Washi Tape.

I  die cut a stitched Circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits die.  Then I stamped the flowers and bird house in Tuxedo Black Memento, an used several Blends markers listed in the Recipe section to color the image. 

After I assembled the layers, I added a three different sizes of Glitter Enamel Dots to accent the card.  I'm so pleased with how this card turned out.  The colors and textures make me happy to hold it in my hands.
