Flight of the Butterfly

I have had a lot of searches for a couple of pop up cards that I featured in a kit at StampFest a couple of years ago. I decided to add the tutorials for those cards since there was so much interest in them. I have written quite a few tutorials over the last couple of years and will be adding some of those to my tutorials page over the next couple of months. If you like tutorials, you may want to keep an eye on that page.

This is the pop up card that I made, using the Flight of the Butterfly set. You can find the tutorial here. I’ll go ahead and add the stamping supplies on this post as well. I hope this is helpful for those searching for pop up instructions.

Just one more Elementary Elegance card and then I need to play with some of my other sets! For this one I used more of the Everyday Enchantment DSP. Love that paper! The frame is cut using the Labels Collection Framelits. I needed a longer frame for this image, so I cut the top and bottom of the frame separately.

Elementary Elegance and pretty polka dots!

Elementary Elegance

These colors make me smile, or maybe it’s the polka dots. This years group of In Colors are some of my all time favorites, such bright happy colors and they play so well together! The image and the ribbon are two of the items that you can choose FREE, with your $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.

I used the excess rubber from the center of the frame image to make a little shadow stamp. There is a little bit of polka dot pandemonium going on here, but I think it works.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Up Up and Away

up up and away

Even though the weather has decided to cool a bit this week, I have been thinking spring in my stamp room. This is a cheery little card using the Up Up and away set. The clouds were sponged using a stencil that I made from card stock. I pieced a scalloped circle and the Fancy Flower punch together to create the cloud shape. The hills are circles, punched using the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch.

Easy Events

This is a fun little card using the Easy Events set. I paired the love birds with the sentiment from the the tree image. I am thinking about cutting the sentiments away from the images on this set to make it even more versatile. Cheery fun!

Happy stampin’!

Fresh Vintage

I wanted to keep the focal point kind of simple on this card so it could share the spotlight with this gorgeous paper. I just love every design in this pack of Everyday Enchantment DSP. I plan to snatch up as much of this stuff as I can earn during Sale-a-bration! I used the Fresh Vintage set on this card and heat embossed the image on the butterfly to give it some interest.Very simple concepts but I love how they all work together so nicely.

I’ll be back this weekend with a Ribbon Share offer for you!

I thought the crisp and cheery patterns complemented this image from the Sprinkled Expressions set and the colors are perfect with the Everyday Enchantment ribbon and brad pack.  Cheery fun!

Apothecary Art

I have a pretty card for you today, but first I wanted to share a few exciting announcements that were made by Stampin’ Up! this week. Our catalog and catalog schedule is changing a bit! First, the Annual Catalog will be unveiled a month early, June 2012! Then we will have 2 seasonal catalogs that will be larger than the mini catalogs and they will come out in August and January and as the name implies, they will house all of the seasonal stuff and will run 5 months instead of 3. I really think I am going to like this format.

We are also getting a new diagonal score board insert for our Simply Scored tool, for making envelopes and boxes and such! This should be available in March. It is a full sized board that will just sit on top of the Simply Scored. Only $11.95. I can’t wait for this!!

And on February 1st, we are releasing a one month FREE trial to My Digital Studio! What a great way to try out this neat program!

Apothecary Art

This is a fairly simple card, it just shows how the right tools can make quick work of creating cards. This one looks fairly elaborate, but it really just took a few quick steps. The new Labels Collection Framelits work with the Apothecary Art set { LOVE }. So I centered my framelit die, cut, and then embossed for the top layer. I stamped the image and colored it, using a smaller piece of card stock so that I could easily center it in the frame. Popped up the sentiment and then added a bow. Love the elegant look of this set! And I love the banners and sentiments that can be used with so many other sets, as well!

I hope you get to stamp today!
