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 Birthday Cheer Bundle

How about a gender neutral birthday card thats fun for all ages? This is pretty much a monochromatic card, because it uses only one color in addition to white, gray and black.

The framelits that coordinate with the Birthday Cheer stamp set, are the bomb dot com. All I did was cut them from a piece of basic black cardstock and placed it over the lemon lime twist cardstock. So simple but such a "wow."

I'm so happy that the black glitter ribbon has carried over from the holiday catalog. Its one of my favorites. I paired it with the granny apple green ribbon as well.

The Stitched Rectangle Framelits are also new in the Stampin Up Catalog. So happy to have rectangle framelits now! I've added a few stars to give the card a little shine.

Can you think of anyone who would love a birthday card like this? I sure can!

Stampin Up All That You Are stamp set

Another great floral stamp set that's an easy to color image. I love that its big and bold and simple to add beautiful color with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Can you tell that I'm ready for Spring?

The colors on this birthday greeting are daffodil delight and granny apple green, with a bit of pumpkin pie in the middle of the flower.

I always start with the lightest Stampin Blends color and shade with the darker color. So in this case I used the light daffodil delight and then shaded with the dark daffodil delight- I did the same with the granny apple green.

Of course, I always love to use pretty ribbon on my cards and for this card, I also used the Trio Punch to decorate the corner. Such a pretty addition.

How To: Easy Fold with Amazing Life stamps

I've got 3 cards with the same fold and same stamp set to show you today. I decided to use bright and fun greens, night of navy and pineapple punch colors for these Amazing Life greeting cards.

The first card is a wish for good luck- with St. Patricks day right around the corner, I thought it was appropriate.

The fold is very simple: fold a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" granny apple green cardstock in half... then fold the front flap up to meet the fold. Thats it!

Each card features a "Happiness Blooms" Enamel dot. Can you spot all 3? I also used the "Happiness Blooms designer paper on all of the cards as well.

This birthday card also features the new Stitched Rectangle dies as does the other two cards. The dies add just the right amount of texture.

All 3 cards are also colored with the night of navy, pineapple punch, granny apple green and call me clover Stampin Blends alcohol markers.

This card is the same size as the others and its also folded in the same way, except its vertical instead of horizontal.

Are you liking all the green? Well, it is almost St. Patty's day.. right?

I hope you like this stamp set, it really is a great versatile set for many fun occasions.

I glad you stopped by!

Until the next time...
