CAS Watercolour Wings

If you like butterflies you are going to absolutely love love love the new Watercolor Wings stamp set...

If  you are on the fence so to speak about butterflies (like me) - then you are still going to love this set! Trust me I do.... In fact... I have actually had to admit that I have finally got over my dislike of butterflies....

The hardest part may be deciding which of the fabulous butterfly & co-ordinating framelits sets you will purchase first! Watercolor Wings or Butterfly Basics....

You will regret neither...and you will probably end up with both...which is great as they both co-ordinate really well with each other!

So my first share with the set is a true CAS (Clean & Simple card). We made these at training last week.... Thanks Julie - love these! Right up my CAS street.... and I know my girls will love this in my classes next week ....

Both use the Watercolour Wings stamp set, the fabulous new Thank Yous greeting set, One Big Meaning and the new Triple Banner Punch for the banner.

The first uses the new Fluttering embossing folder and the second the Brick Wall embossing folder. Great thing about these folders - is that they are 6" square..... so I can emboss a whole large square card in one go... thank you Stampin' Up!

Both butterflies are stamped using Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant - but the first is the second stamping  - whereas the second is the first stamping!!!! LOL.... what a mouthful - shame I didn't load these photos up the other way round.... What I mean to say is that I stamped up both butterflies without re-inking in between - think I prefer the more subtle second stamping in this colour way....

And oh... Weekly Deals this week.... click on the pic for more details. Two great stamp sets ( Banner Banter & And Many More) there for the Banner Punch and Word Window Punch which loads of you already have! And lots of embossing folders too...

Another Something Borrowed Tri Fold Mini Album

Following on from the popularity of my white Tri Fold Mini Album the other week – I  made another...

This was done so that I could photo some step by steps and produce the tutorial – but  as I was also demonstrating the album in a class situation… I got carried away and made up the new album as I went along… oops…

So I need to go back to the drawing board and make another & remember to photo this time!! Though it may turn out to be a good thing… as I am not sure you would have been able to see anything with the Blackberry Bliss colour I had selected for this version!! As I know that some of you are wanting the tutorial - thank you for your patience in this matter!!!

Doesn’t it look scrummy in the Blackberry Bliss! It is also slightly more hard-wearing too….

This is exactly the same as the original version – apart from the Blackberry Bliss outer – and 2 more details on the front cover…

Firstly – I didn’t have another roses die cut panel – as I had pinched it for using as a mask for sponging through – so I just used it as a mask for sponging through!!! I wonder how long this little mask is going to last!!

Secondly – I had no more Artisan Embellishments to use on the front – so I used the last 2 roses I had after making my big LOVE card  - one was daubed strongly with Blackberry Bliss ink (and left to dry for days!) – the other was left as Blushing Bride… finished off with a large pearl into the centre…

Holiday Home for a New Home

Following on from the Christmas version I posted yesterday…here is a New Home version that I needed to quickly make for good friends just settling into a New Home. Delighted to say that this accompanied some SU! crafting goodies – so yes Alison… I will quickly move onto some cards using the Wonderful & Wondrous Wreath very soon!!!

As it was SO important that I got Alison’s crafting goodies off in the post quickly….. I made myself keep it very Clean & Simple – but I did get the chance to use my new FAVOURITE background stamp….. I Love Lace…oh yes I do!!! It is SO beautiful stamped in Whisper White craft ink on any cardstock colour – albeit very subtle when stamped on the more subtle colour ways…. I think everyone has picked up my display cards using it…there is almost a texture to feel….
