Butterfly Greeting Card with Quiet Meadow floral Stamp Set

          

  • Quiet Meadow and Brilliant Wings Dies
  • Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles available until 30 June 2021
  • Free Shipping - one day only - 24 June 2021
Today I'm using the Quiet Meadow Stamp set along with the Brilliant Butterfly Dies to create a set of cards I can use for Thank You cards, Birthdays, or Hope You're Feeling Better wishes.  Some I plan to send right away.  Others I'll keep on hand for use later.  My color scheme is Petal Pink and Granny Apply Green with Basic White.  These went together super fast and I love the Vellum butterfly on top of the die cut butterfly.   
      
Four cards with different sentiments using Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set and Brilliant Wings Dies


The basecard for this card is Petal Pink Cardstock.  Then a layer of of Granny Apple Green used as a matt for the Basic White Image.  The large butterfly is die cut from Petal Pink using the Brilliant Wings Dies.  Then I layered a smaller butterfly die cut out of Vellum Cardstock and dry embossed with dots from using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.  I think if I were to remake the card, I would cut a vellum butterfly the same size as the larger Petal Pink detailed butterfly and layer it beneath the detailed Petal Pink Butterfly.       
 
Floral Thank You card using Stampin' Up! Quiet Meadow Stamp Set



I stamped the large flower image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock, and colored the stems with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, and the flower with Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  The sentiment and image around the sentiment are from a recently retired stamp set called Punch Party Host Stamp Set.   I'm continuing to use it as it works with the Double Oval Punch and two additional punches that carried over to the current annual Stampin' Up! catalog and includes several useful sentiments. However, you'll find several current sentiments that work with this punch as well. Additionally, I added Petal Pink pearls from the Pastel Pearls for a little more interest.

One Day only Free Stampin' Up! Shipping plus Dressed To Impress Card idea

         

  • Dressed To Impress Stamp Set and All Dressed Up Coordinating Dies
  • Free Shipping - one day only - 24 June 2021
  • Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Kit Unboxing Video
I'm having so much fun today.  First, creating this spunky card.  And then, planning my order for 24 June when Stampin' Up! offers free shipping!.  Yes!  One day only, you can qualify for free shipping with a $50 (Less tax or coupons) order.  

My card uses the always popular Dressed to Impress Stamp Set, with its ladylike, refined elements.  I paired this with the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for a truly soft, delicate look.  The frilly, scalloped , stitched rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies continued the overall refined theme.  I used several colors of Stampin' Pens to color the feminine die cuts. and the roses stamped on the Scalloped  layer.  When I see this card it makes me think of my wonderfully graceful sisters and my sisters-in-law.

The basecard for this card is Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  Then a layer of of Hand-Penned 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  Then a scalloped rectangle of Basic White Cardstock die cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies.         
 
Feminine handmade greeting card with perfume, lipstick and high heel images


I  used more Basic White Cardstock, and Stamped images from the Dressed To Impress Stamp Set, colored them with Stampin' Blends and die cut them using the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies.  

To create the double high heels, I stamped one of the high heels onto a sticky note and fussy cut it.  Then I stamped one of the high heels onto Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I covered it with the sticky note I cut out earlier to mask it as I stamped a second high heel slightly offset from the first high heel.  After coloring them with Pale Papaya Blends, I fussy cut the pair of high heels out by hand. The All Dressed Up Dies includes a die to cut a single high heel shoe, which I couldn't used after stamping them as a pair.  Alternatively, I could have die cut two high heels separately and then glued them together, but I was concerned with adding too much bulk to the card.  My method kept all of the die cut images on the banner, at the same height .

I glued the die cut elements to a 1" X 5-1/4"" strip of Pale Papaya Cardstock, stamped with a sentiment on the right hand end using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a few Pale Papaya genial Gems and stamped more floral images onto the scalloped layer.
