How To Sponging Technique- Stampin Up Beauty Abounds Butterfly

I used a fun sponging technique with this pretty Beauty Abounds bundle. The Butterfly dies in this set are absolutely stunning. I cut out the large, one piece butterfly die and used the negative piece to lay down on the whisper white cardstock and sponge inside with gorgeous grape ink.

The bokeh circles are included in the Beauty Abounds stamp set and they make a great background for these fluttering butterflies. I stamped them in gorgeous grape ink as well.

After I sponged inside the negative piece of the die cut, I then laid the cut out butterfly die over top of the sponging and attached with fine tip glue.

Gorgeous grape and balmy blue ink and cardstock, look pretty sweet together, don't you think?

Stampin Up Wonderful Romance Bundle

If this isn't the most pretty and romantic set, I don't know what is. The Wonderful Romance bundle has me head over heels in love. Its just so classy and elegant.

This comes with a complete suite of coordinating products. The Floral Romance designer paper, Floral Romance Seals, and of course the beautiful Lace emboss folder to name a few.

Again, pretty easy to color. I used the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in blackberry bliss and old olive, with a touch of daffodil delight in the middle of the flower and crumb cake for the tiny spray of leaves. How cool is the self adhesive gold Floral Seal? It makes the card look so elegant.

The Floral designer paper is simply gorgeous. It includes several sheets of printed velum and the best thing about it, is that the snail adhesive doesn't show through!

This is a must have bundle and suite! Great for weddings, engagements, thinking of you and more. If you don't have it yet, you certainly should consider the worth while purchase!

Thanks for coming by today.

Until the next time...

How to Card Fold- Needle and Thread stamp set

I've got a cool card fold for you today. We made this card at one of my recent card classes. Its an interpretaton of a Z fold card. It looks complicated but, its really so simple!

You will cut a piece of balmy blue cardstock for the card base at 4 1/4 x 11. Fold it in half. Once you've folded it in half, you will fold the front  flap back to meet the fold of the card.

Next, cut a strip of balmy blue cardstock 11 x 1 1/2", then fold it in half. Nest you will do the same as above.. fold the front flap back to meet the fold.

The whisper white strip is cut at 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 and TWO more whisper white strips at 1 1/4 x 2 1/2"

The inside white pieces, the highland heather piece and the designer paper are cut at 2 1/2 x 4."

This is a photo of the closed card.

Close up of the beautiful emboss edgelit dies.

Here's the same card in blushing bride instead of highland heather. I hope you give this unique fold a try!

Stampin Up Humming Along bundle

The Humming Along bundle in the Stampin Up Catalog is a gorgeous hummingbird and hibiscus set. Speaking of hibiscus flowers... I'm soon to be in Hawaii, for a Stampin Up presentation that I am doing for my friend Cindy Baughman and the Stamped with Aloha team. I may already be there when this posts. I know this is one of Cindys favorite flowers, and I'm looking forward to seeing a few in person!

I used some bright and sunny Stampin Blends alcohol markers to color the images. Mango Melody, pool party, highland heather, granny apple green, pumpkin pie and bermuda bay colors worked beautifully on this card.

The new Crackle Paint background stamp in mango melody ink, added the perfect background without competing with the images.

I think this bright and sunny greeting card would make anyone feel better, don't you?

Thanks a bunch for checking in today.

Until the next time...

Incredible Like You

I was so impressed with the new, Incredible Like You card kit from the Occasions Catalog. It is absolutely stunning!

Plus, its so simple to assemble. Everything needed to make these beautiful cards, is included. The Incredible Like You stamp set and two inkpads are sold separately and so worth having!

Theres even a ton of mini glue dots included, so adhesive isn't needed unless you want to use your own.

This has to be, hands down, my favorite card kit in the history of ever. In person, its even more gorgeous.

Everything is pre cut and ready to go, including matching envelopes for all 16 cards.

The colors are so rich and cheery and the glimmer paper adds that little bit of glorious sparkle.

So much dimension and texture, which creates interest and fun.

As if that wasn't enough.. it also comes with this awesome storage envelope.

This is definitely a kit to impress and an absolute must have! I can't wait to put these incredible cards in the mail soon!
