Happiness Abounds with Brilliant Wings

Hello all! This card was created for the Global Design Project Theme Challenge "Beautiful Bugs". This is one of those ideas that came to me in the middle of the night, lol!

I just recently bought the Brilliant Wings Dies. My head is full of different ideas for using these, so you'll probably be seeing a lot more of them on my blog very soon! This is a standard card base (8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored on the long side at 4-1/4") cut from Highland Heather cardstock. The card front is Basic White 4" x 5-1/4".

I made this card by arranging 5 of the Brilliant Wings dies on the card front and running them through my die-cutting machine all at once. I used Post-It tape to anchor them down so none of them moved on me. I then carefully removed them and embossed the card front with Stampin' Up's Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (retired).

The color behind the butterflies comes from a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I love the colors in this paper, but it's really busy on it's own and the butterflies soften it up so nicely!

I adhered the Designer Paper to the card base first, then used liquid glue on the back of the embossed piece, going carefully around the edges of all the butterfly cut-outs so nothing lifts up and adhered this on top of the DSP. The last step was to place all of the butterflies using Mini Glue Dots and add some bling - Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels. The sentiments on my card are included in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birds & Branches Love

Hi Friends,

Today I've created a card that could be used for weddings, anniversaries, or really anytime you want to say "I love you".

I created this with the sketch challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch in mind - CTS #385.

The sentiment comes from my Good Morning Magnolia stamp set -

I used a sticky note to cover the bottom 2 lines of the stamp while I inked up just the portion I wanted on my card.

The colors are Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight, Whisper White & Cherry Cobbler. The circle is die-cut first before adding texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

To create the clouds, I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock the same size as the blue card front - 4" x 5-1/4". Using a cloud shape that I cut out of a piece of thick scrap cardstock, I sponged on some Misty Moonlight, moving the cloud around until I was happy with the effect.

Beautiful Bouquet Anniversary Card

Hello again! There's a gorgeous new colour challenge over at Just Add Ink that I couldn't resist playing along with this week.

These are colors that I probably wouldn't have considered using together on my own. But that's what I love about colour challenges - they make me stretch my imagination and get creative! After working with these colors I know that I'll use them again - they're rich and vibrant and perfect for fall.

I used my Stamparatus on this card to get perfect placement on the sentiment, and also to double stamp the flowers. For each of the 4 large flowers I stamped them once in Grapefruit Grove, then used a sponge dauber to add some Terracotta Tile in the center of each flower and stamped them again.

The flowers on the inside of the card mimic the outside by using the double-stamping technique on the Stamparatus.

The trick to arranging the flowers...

Cut all the pieces & lay them out on the card front before adhering any of them. Then snap a picture on your cell phone & refer to it as you start adding liquid glue to the backs and placing them. Liquid glue gives you a little "wiggle-room" when you're doing your flower arranging!

I used Wink of Stella on the largest flower, copper foil accents and iridescent sequins for bling.
