Brick Wall

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another  product new to the annual catalogue, the Brick Wall TIEF. It is a 6″ x 6″ embossing folder, so super large to emboss a bigger area!

I have not done any stamping on the front of this card at all, so check it out!

Let’s get started.

I embossed a piece of whisper white cardstock and then used my sponge daubers in a circular motion to colour the wall. I used Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate & Tip Top Taupe.

Stampin' Up! Watercolour Wings Brick Wall

The butterfly is made from die cuts using the Bold Butterfly Framelits. The bottom layer is vellum and the next is Watermelon Wonder. I added some gold thread behind the butterfly and a gorgeous blossom accent to the front with a small pearl which I coloured with a metallic gold sharpie pen.

Stampin' Up! Watercolour Wings Brick Wall

I added some Cucumber Crush leaves die cut from the Flower Frenzy Bigz die (retired).

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too with another little butterfly!

Instructions included.
* 16 card bases and envelopes
* 1 printed tin box with lid, 6-3/4″ x 4″ x 5-3/8″
* 10 sheets of 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ Designer Series Paper, 2 ea. of 5 designs

Let’s get started!

I began with stamping each of the dividers in Jet Black Stazon.

Tin of Cards

Then I stamped the cute little border around each of the dividers with Mint Macaron ink to match the colour of the tin!

Tin of Cards

Now I have the dividers sorted, time to get making the 16 cards, 45 of each design.

This first card is all pre-stamped except for the banner which I stamped with Mint Macaron ink.

Tin of Cards

I cannot tell you just how quick and easy these cards are to make and the instructions are very easy to follow.

This next card I adhered the yellow strip and then stamped the crosses above and below. I stamped the happy birthday with Stazon ink and added the gold glimmer heart that was already punched for me!

Tin of Cards

Sorry about the reflections in this card, but that gold is so shiny, it was impossible not to get reflections. The hardest part about putting this one together is getting the twine to sit exactly how you want it behind the circle image!!!

Tin of Cards

And for the last design, has to be my favourite because it has butterflies!

This one was a bit more stamping, but still super easy and I love the look of this one.

Gift Box for a set of Cards & Envelopes

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a gift box for a set of cards & envelopes and stamped with the Watercolour Wings stamp set.

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings Gift Box of Cards

I started with a 12″ x 12″ sheet of cardstock and cut it down to 8″ x 11-1/2″.

Score the long side at ¾”, 5-3/8”, 6-1/8”, 10-¾”.

Score the short side at 7-1/4”.

Stamp your images as shown.

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings Gift Box of Cards

 

Place short edge back on Simply Scored and score at ¾” (through the butterfly) so it gives a wrap around effect. Fold and burnish all the score lines. Cut notches and add adhesive as shown. I put the base together first then used the 1″ circle punch for the notch at the front, before adhering the lid together.

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings Gift Box of Cards

I stamped the butterfly starting with Watermelon Wonder, the second image in Cucumber Crush, then the final image in Island Indigo. This is what it looks like when opened up with cards and envelopes inside!

Dinosaur Roar

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a new stamp set from the annual catalogue that I fell in love with the minute I saw it.

I don’t have any other stamp sets like this one and although I have two girls of my own, they adore dinosaurs!!!

Let’s get started!

Stampin' Up! No Bones About It Dinosaurs

My base card is Old Olive, then a layer of Whisper White. I stamped the leaves around the edge in Old Olive and Wild Wasabi ink. The dinosaur is stamped in Real Red ink and then I stamped the skeleton with Craft White ink onto Basic Black card before adding it with dimensionals.

Don’t you think it looks like an x-ray machine with the skeleton?!!! I love it!!!

Stampin' Up! No Bones About It Dinosaurs

I stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Stazon ink. The little heart was punched from the Heart Border Punch in Real Red card stock.

Stampin' Up! No Bones About It Dinosaurs

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card too.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think of my card!!!

Watercolour Wings for JAI

Dear Crafters,

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is an Sketch Challenge JAI#268.

What a great sketch this is and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to give it a go!

I started with a Basic Black card and added panels of Old Olive and the a piece of the new Pretty Petals DSP Stack. I sponged the edges before gluing them to the card.

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings

Next I added the banner across the centre. I used the 2″ circle punch and embossed it with the fluttering textured impressions embossing folder and sponged the edges before adding it with dimensionals.

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings

I stamped the butterfly onto Very Vanilla card stock, starting with Calypso Coral (stamped off for the first image), full strength for the second image and the 3rd is Watermelon Wonder. Then I die cut it out with the Butterflies Thinlits.

I also die cut a piece of vellum with the Bold Butterfly Framelits and attached it to the stamped image.

I wanted something a little bit more, so I used some gold beads and threaded them onto gold wire I use for jewellery making! You can see it close up below, cute hey!!!!

Stampin Up Watercolour Wings

Do you see those gold dots? Wonder how I made those? Well, they are the White Perfect Accents and I coloured them with a Gold Sharpie pen!!!! How clever hey!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside panel along with a coordinating envelope!

I have to say when I saw this sketch I loved it, and all of the design team cards were stunning and very inspiring!

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this challenge.

Watercolour Wings Note Card

Dear Crafters,

Today I share my Watercolour Wings note card with you. This is my newest stamp set and I am so excited to share this with you. I am absolutely loving this stamp set and the bonus is, that you can also get the coordinating dies, so no need for hours of fussy cutting!!! Purchase them together as a bundle and you save a further 15%.

I am using the Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes pack. These packs are awesome for quick cards, and they are slightly smaller than the usual A5 cards that I make. These note cards are pre-scored, thicker card and you get 20 cards and 20 envelopes in a great value pack for only $10.50.

Let’s get started!

My base card I have left white and added a couple of banners which I punched with the new, must have, Triple Banner Punch. You can create three different sized banners, 1″, 1-1/2″ & 2″. The larger banner uses the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack and the smaller banner is the brand new Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

Watercolour Wings

I stamped the butterfly onto Whisper White card, starting with Marina Mist as the base, then Pacific Point, then Island Indigo at the last layer. These stamps are photopolymer, so they are completely clear and so easy to stamp one on top of the other in a 3-step process.

I used the coordinating Bold Butterfly framelits to die cut it out, and the smaller framelit with the Gold Glimmer Paper.

Watercolour Wings

I used Tombo Multipurpose glue to join the butterflies together. On the back of the larger butterfly, I added a small strip of Fast Fuse and some gold metallic thread. I just bunched it up into loops and held it to the fast fuse. How cool is that!

I added the butterfly to the card with dimensionals!

What do you think of my card? I was very pleased with the outcome. I would love for you to leave a comment also.
