Hello! I am grateful that you have popped by to see my latest project.

This is another white on white card, with a little Night of Navy poking through.

I used the DRAGONFLY PUNCH and punched lots and lots of dragonflies for the card front mat. Then this piece was given its texture by placing it inside the TASTEFUL TEXTILE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER and running it through the STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE (my BIG BOSS).

This embossed mat was then adhered to a piece of Night of Navy card stock. Some Night of Navy twine, from the WELL SUITED TWINE PACK, was wrapped and tied around this layer before going onto a Basic White cardbase.

The sentiment is from the DRAGONFLY GARDEN STAMP SET and it was cut out using the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

I like the way this card turned out. Sometimes it’s hard not to keep adding elements to a project but for this card, nothing else was needed.

I would love you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Happy stamping.

Hello! Thank you for popping by.

This is the third card I have made using the CIRCLE CELEBRATION STAMP SET. This is a rainbow inspired card.

I started by cutting 1/2″ strips of card stock in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Pacific Point and Poppy Parade. These were then adhered onto a piece of Basic White card stock. Then I cut some 1/2″ and 1″ strips of the rainbow.

Seeing these rainbow strips against the Basic Black card base was great – they totally pop on the black.

Then I stamped the large circle stamp, that has the three concentric images, three times in three colours. Then I used the LAYERING CIRCLES DIES to cut all three, as you can see. I popped each layer up with dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured the sentiment stamp with STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS™ to individually colour each of the letters. The rod, holding the letters, was coloured using Basic Gray.

This is a very colourful card – it’s certainly bright. Who would send a rainbow thank you card to?

Happy stamping!

Hello and welcome to another Wednesday Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. Thank you for joining me, and the other wonderful Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators taking part.

This week’s theme is WAYS WITH PACKAGING. I chose the MINI PAPER PUMPKIN BOXES as the starting place for my project.

It is the perfect size to hold decorated BASIC WHITE NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES.

I made this project, unplanned, on my Facebook Live last Wednesday. It was a case of perfect timing because my BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE COLLECTION arrived the day before, so I was able to open all the products live.

This is such a gorgeous collection of stamps, dies and papers. Let me show you my project.

I used a few pieces of the BUTTERFLY BIJOU 6″x 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. I used the same sheet – the butterflies are on one side and the the soft, watercolour look is on the other.

There are 11 dies in the BRILLIANT WINGS DIES. The large, connected die cuts out all six butterflies in one go. I used the same die, again, to cut six vellum butterflies. I attached these to the back of the DSP butterflies.

Then I used the more detailed dies to cut six intricate butterflies that I popped onto the front.

Before I secured the butterflies onto the top of the box, I attached loops of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. A big thank you to Fran Ward, who was watching my Live and suggested that I used Basic Black card stock to cut the ‘thank you’ from the WELL WRITTEN DIES set. This poor set has been sitting on the shelf for far too long, unused.

Although I ran out time to make my cards live, I did make them kater that day. I made 5 cards to pop into the box as a gift for someone special.

The DSP is wondeerful to use. Lots of lovely butterflies and a great variety of backgrounds.

Let me show you the cards close up.

Look at me and all the fussy cutting that I’ve been doing. Who would have thought? This is the last card that I made and you can see that I quickly moved from simple to a little more complex.

The birthday greeting is from the IN BLOOM STAMP SET. I used a post it note to cover the ‘you really are the best’ part of the stamp so that I could just have the Happy Birthday. I did this for all the cards.

This was the first card I made and it was refreshing to make a simple card.

The DSP does all the hard work with these cards.

For this card, I used the STITCHED WITH WHIMSY DIES to create three ‘panels’ across the front of the NATURAL TOUCH SPECIALTY PAPER. This paper resembles a fine timber veneer and it has a fine texture.

I think this is my favourite card from the bundle. Which card is your favourite? Who would you give this gift box of cards to?
