BIRD ON A BRANCH #2

Using the same steps I used yesterday, I made the same card with new colors but added an additional layer by using some of the dp from Stampin Up that has birds on it.  The card stock is Baja Breeze.

If you have any questions just let me know.......thanks for stopping by!

BIRD ON A BRANCH #1

I decided to make a "shaped card"  I cut the card base with the Spellbinders Labels 17 by placing the die slightly above the fold of the card.  Then I cut a single Labels 17 die and attached it over the card base so the card would appear to have the entire shape.

The next smaller Labels 17 die was used to cut a Real Red label which was then run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. 

The white layer is two sizes smaller than the red layer.  I stamped "A Warm Hello" off to the side.  The bird was stamped with the bird from the SU Punch Potpourri stamp set using Real Red Ink.  A second bird was stamped and punched and then the wing was punched from the portion of the bird that has the design.  The back wing was punched with white cards stock and then sponged with Real Red ink.  There are two branches which were punched with white card stock and sponged with Wild Wasabi ink.

STAMPIN' UP IN COLORS

One time when I took items that I no longer used to a stamp sale, I saw this SU stamp set and I was able to buy it for only $2.00!  Monday night I was going through some stamp sets that I have never used and ran across this one.  (NOTE:  By the way, does anyone know the name of this stamp set?  The label says "Sprinkles" but I'm not sure that is correct.  I checked several sites and when I searched "Sprinkles" none showed up like this.)

I used 4 of the 2011-2013 In Colors.....Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder.  The embossing at the top and bottom was made with a Cuttlebug border folder.  I'm not sure if you will be able to see it, but there is a background stamp on each of the three pieces.  The flowers were stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa instead of the Black Tuxedo and then colored with the "In Colors".

(NOTE:  Some of you may have already seen this post because it accidentally got posted for the wrong date.)

P.S. Thank you to Mehrll for letting me know that the proper name for this set is "Oh So Lovely".  The stamps were obviously put into the wrong case for the stamp sale......but I'm sure glad I got them anyway.)

BUTTERFLIES GALORE - Day Three

I cannot take credit for this card at all.  I saw a card almost identical to this one posted on the SCS Gallery pages.  I used the same colors.  The light "fine script" dp did look a lot lighter on the card I saw on SCS.  I reversed the placement of the two butterflies and used a different sentiment. This isn't a color combination I would have thought to use together but I do like the card and would use the colors again......Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral.

Your comments always mean a lot to me so let me know what you think.  Thanks for coming by!

BUTTERFLIES GALORE - Day Two

I don't think this needs any explanation.  The butterflies were punched with SU double sided designer papers.

Thanks for stopping by!

BUTTERFLIES GALORE - Day One

This is a very simple card to make.  Card base is SU Pumpkin Pie card stock and embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  White label was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders die.  Butterflies were all punched with the SU butterfly punch.  I punched each one in the solid color and then punched the dotted pieces.  The dotted pieces were attached to the solid layer using pop dots and then adhered to the white label.  Sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo.

Your comments are always welcome so please let me know what you like or don't like.  Thank you for stopping by!

SPELLBINDERS "LES PAPILLIONS"

If you haven't ever checked out the Pals Paper Arts, it is a great blog to see cards made by the design team members.  Cindy Hall (Pretty Impact) had a card that I just loved and partially CASED.  You can see her card here:  A Big Thank You! |

I used Baja Breeze for the card base, Pacific Point instead of Indigo Island for the layer and strips are from an SU designer pad.   Then I added my own focal point.  The butterfly is from the Spellbinders Les "Papillions" die set.

I edged the scalled circle with Pacific point ink but then sponged the same color around the die cut.
