BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

This is a card I created at my monthly workshop using the gorgeous Botanical Butterfly DSP.

I gave everyone a couple of pieces of this DSP, a couple of sketches and then let them choose some co-ordinating cardstock.

Everyone created something beautiful (not hard to do with this paper).  I have shared all the workshop attendees cards to my Facebook page but forgot to share mine.

These were the two pieces of the Botanical Butterfly DSP we each received.  You can earn this DSP for FREE by placing an order for a minimum of $90 during Sale-a-Bration.



I chose to use the spotted side of one of the DSP and to also cut out some of the butterflies from each piece.  For my card base I chose Balmy Blue.



I also wanted to use some of the gorgeous hearts in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.

I die cut some of the smaller hearts and also a couple of the pretty floral pieces from Balmy Blue cardstock.

All of these elements were then placed on the card front as shown in the photo.

Here is a closer look at how I layered the pretty floral pieces over the top of my heart pieces.  All the die cut pieces were glued down flat.

The middle butterfly was actually punched out of the paper using the Butterfly Duet punch.  The smaller butterflies were fussy cut.  Some pearls I had in my stash were added to the middles of the butterflies and then added to the card with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I stamped a For You sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White rectangle piece of cardstock and adhered to the card with dimensionals.  (Not sure which set this stamp is from).

You will also notice that I die cut an edging from Balmy Blue cardstock which I added to the right side of the card.

I JUST ADORE YOU

The card I am sharing today I think could be used as a sweet Valentine's Day card, although I didn't create this card with Valentine's Day in mind.

When I was creating samples with the Incredible Like You stamp set for my Open House I wanted to use some different colour combinations to what I had previously used.

I ended up choosing Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.

Here is a little closer look at the stamped colour combo.

I find that I always seem to gravitate towards using Whisper White Cardstock for my stamping so I challenged myself to use Very Vanilla Cardstock instead.

The base card is Night of Navy with a Very Vanilla layer onto which I have stamped the stripes in Night of Navy and the leaves in Garden Green.  The small accents have been stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

The larger flowers have been stamped in Cherry Cobbler on a separate piece of Very Vanilla and fussy cut out.  The sentiment "I Just Adore You" has been stamped in Night of Navy and die cut out with one of the cute frame dies from the Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies.  All of these pieces have then been mounted over the images stamped on the Very Vanilla Layer (as shown in the photos) with dimensionals.

To complete the card I stamped the dots alternatively with Night of Navy and Garden Green along the bottom of the card and then the completed stamped piece was adhered to the base card.

I love the way these colours compliment each other and I am very pleased with the way this card turned out.

Not only is this stamp stamp fantastic for creating beautiful cards by itself, it is also the co-ordinating stamp set for the Incredible Like You Project Kit where you can make 16 beautiful cards from this kit.

The kit includes instructions and also a reusable storage envelope.

Can't wait to get this kit myself to create some really beautiful cards without a lot of fuss.  Stampin'Up! just makes it so easy for every crafter.
