Butterfly Mania for SUOC #70

Pam Staples — Tue, 07 May 2013 04:00:17 +0000

This week for the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge Blog we are featuring butterfly mania! The challenge is to create a card using the butterfly as your main theme.

SUOC #70 – Butterfly Mania

Here is my card featuring the Butterfly Mania theme for this challenge with Stampin' Up! Only Challenges. I started with a base of Very Vanilla then I used Raspberry Ribble to stamp the background from the Everything Eleanor stamp set. The second element I stamped using Primrow Petals which I cut out using the Apothocary Framelits. For the butterfly, I used the Beautiful Butterfly die with Rasberry Ripple card stock then embossed using the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder finalizing the butterfly by adding an embellishment of Pearl Jewels. The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set.

SUOC #69 – Anything Sizzixs

Petite Purse Die

My Petite Purse is created using the Sizzix Petite Purse Die and I used card stock in one of my favorite colors, Calypso Coral, which I'm excited is going to become one of our Core Colors announced with the Color Refresh by Stampin' Up! I opted to keep my Petite Purse simple focusing on simplicity. I created a small rosette using a scallop punch which I cute into a spiral then curled the edges into the circular design creating a rosette. I placed a pearl on the inside to add some "hidden" interest. I used the Bird Builder punch for the leaf which is punched from Lucky Limeade. Finally, I placed the pearls along the edge of the purse cover for an added touch of elegance.

PCCCS #38 Card Sketch: Cuddles & Kisses

Pam Staples — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:00:52 +0000

Here we are with another installment of the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38 featuring the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set. As an adoptive mom, I just love this stamp set. It comes close to my heart and means so much.

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38

Cuddles & Kisses

While looking through my stamp sets and trying to decide how I wanted to start with this card using the card sketch I was immediately drawn to the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set along with Baja Breeze. I'm sad to see that Baja Breeze is retiring especially as I love the tone of Baja Breeze next to Very Vanilla cardstock.

The base of the card starts with the Baja Breeze card stock layered with Very Vanilla card stock embossed using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder which I spritzed with Baja Breeze using the Color Spritzer Tool. Then I stamped the adoption sentiment with the Baja Breeze onto Very Vanilla card stock and used the Labels Collection Framelit to cut out the sentiment which was layered on a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock also cut out using the Labels Collection Framelit. To accent the Baja Breeze Labels background, I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack with the Paper Piercing tool to create texture.

One of my favorite parts of this card is the embellishment I created using the That's the Ticket Stamp Set "precious baby" stamp which was stamped twice and then punched out using the Ticket Punch. I then stacked and used the whale shaped Elements Cute Clips (one of my favorites!!!) then attached it to the card. Finally, I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L for the final background element with Very Vanilla card stock.

So, I hope you enjoy this card as I know I'll be holding it close to my heart especially as my husband and I wait for a placement on Adoption #2.

SUOC #66 – Handmade Easter Card

SU! Only Challenge #66

Handmade Easter Card

For this card I started with the Whisper White card stock as the card base. Then I created another layer of Whisper White which is embossed with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. Then I used the Primrose Petals Seam Binding from the Artisan Embellishments Kit to create a gathered or "Ruched" background. Next, I layered some of the Very Vanilla Lace over the seam binding.

The stamped image was created using the Oh, Hello Stamp Set for the chevron background which is stamped using the Pink Pirrouette classic ink then the sentiment from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set is stamped using the Wild Wasabi Ink. The stamped image was then cut out in an oval shape using the Ovals Collection Framelits Die. Next, I placed the stamped image over the lace and ribbon and strategically placed some of the paper flowers around the stamped image.
