CAS Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo Butterflies using Stampin' Up! Butterfly Dies

Hello there,

Today I have a super CAS (clean and simple) card for you. We made this card at my new catalogue party. This card was very  much inspired by another card I made and shared with you at the end of May, you can see that original design HERE. I changed up the colours for a softer look to Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo, which I think work beautifully together...

 The sentiment is from Party with Cake (again) and I stamped it in Smoky Slate ;-)

I only adhered the centres  of the butterflies for plenty of dimension.

 And for extra sparkle I coloured just the Sweet Sugarplum butterfly with my trusty Clear Wink Of Stella pen.

Well, I have another busy day ahead but will be back tomorrow with a new card and a video too. 

Thanks for looking today I hope you get a chance to craft!

Using Stampin' Up's Watercolour Wings for a Card Class including my TMT Video of Tips for this stamp set.

Hello,

I have a cute and easy little card for you today using the very popular, but much under-used by me, Watercolour Wings stamp set teamed with English Garden DSP. 

I made this card for a recent Stamp-a-Stack class. I have had this paper for waaay too long and not wanted to cut into it. This was something of a habit of mine before I discovered SU! but I rarely do that these days as I know I can always get more from SU! for as long as the catalogue is live.
 Any-hoo, lets share this card shall we...

 I stamped the butterfly using Soft Sky for the outer section of the wings then added in a Marina Mist centres. 

This sentiment is included in this set also.

 I just adore this designer series paper. See here that I inked the edges for a softer, more vintage look using a sponge and Crumb Cake ink, some of my ladies at class decided against doing that though as they prefered it looking more CAS.

 It's a pretty flat card for posting with the only dimension under the wings of the butterfly

So lets see my quick video sharing my tips for stamping and die cutting this butterfly...

 and finally a top view to finish today!

Well, that's it from me for today folks! I hope this TMT tip video has helped someone? If it has, please do let me know!
Thanks so much for looking today. I'm off to cut up a stack of card and finish designing this weeks 12 Weeks project ;-)

Two of a Kind! Using Stampin' Up's Watercolour Wings for a Card Class

Hello!

I have been really touched to read all your lovely comments regarding the Inlaid Die cut cards I made this week using the Butterfly Thinlits (you can find the cards HERE and another with a video tutorial HERE) so I just want to say a big thanks for taking the time to message or comment here and on Facebook. I'm so glad you liked the cards as much as I enjoyed making them ;-)

So, onto todays card. I'm sticking with the butterfly theme today sharing this card I designed for my stamp-a-stack card class nearly a month ago! Time sure does fly when a new catalogue comes out! With so many new things to play with and share with you this poor little card kept getting pushed to the side! Lol

So, lets see it shall we? This is the original design for class...

I used a colour combo of Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe. 

 This sentiment is from the set too.

 I only glued the very centre of this butterfly so the wings were proud. 

TIP: You could add dimensionals under the wings if you plan on posting this card to keep them sitting up.

And a top view of this card. I added some sequins from my stash using crystal effects to finish.

 And this class was one I had an extra kit cut for so here is a slightly different version to my original...

and a top view of both the cards together to finish today! 

So I hope you have enjoyed these two of a kind cards using the pretty Watercolour Wings stamp set? There are so many colour combos for the butterflies in this set and I'm looking forward to trying them out soon. Keep an eye out for those!

OK, I'm off now to design some cards for this weeks class and if you want to see what I'm up to please keep an eye on my Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for pics! Links below.

So all that's left today is to say thanks for stopping by.
