Stampin' Addicts New Catalog Blog Hop - Watercolor Wings

 
Welcome to the new catalog blog hop hosted by Stampin' Addicts!  We have some wonderful projects to share with you today!  If you are hopping in order you just came from Yapha's who showcased You're Sublime.

I have created projects using one of my favorite stamps set called Watercolor Wings!!  Who doesn't love butterflies?!  I also love that it has a matching die set so no fussy cutting!!  I love this first card ... something about the greens. I used the new in colors Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush and they layered well together!

Using neutrals is always a favorite of mine and I had these scraps lying around on my desk so used them to create this vintage looking card.  I wish I was able to get a picture of the details but the butterfly is dry embossed so it pops up just a little bit, it gives it a really nice effect.

My last project and my favorite one today is this treat box.  I used two of the largest butterflies on either end of a box so it props it up.  I love this color color combo!!  Watermelon Wonder and Tip Taupe Taupe, I just stamped off once to get the two shades of Watermelon.  I'll be using this color combo again!

 

Thank you for joining our New Catalog hop and I hope you enjoyed all the projects I shared.  Please hop on to the next stop so you can see the awesome projects created by Tanya using Market Fresh.  Happy Stamping!!

Vintage Florals - Beautiful Bunch

When the new catalog came out I knew I had to have the new flower set called Beautiful Bunch!  I also loved that Stampin' Up! created a matching punch for this set called Fun Flower!!  Talk about making cutting out these flowers a snap!

This card uses the stamp set and coordinating punch I mentioned above but also uses one of our new In Colors Lost Lagoon.  This color looks stunning with crumb cake as shown here and has a perfect tone for the vintage look.  If you look closely you will also notice I used a few other new goodies; the fun frames embossing folder as well as a snippet the baked brown sugar think baker's twine!

I shared this card during one of my recent workshops and I like how you can keep it simple like the card on the left or if you want to step it up you can add a little extra bling to it like the one on the right.  Both look great!!  Happy Stamping!!

Over the Top Butterfly!

Remember how I was saying sometimes I need to go simple well this isn't one of those times ... this one is a little over the top!! Oh so pretty but over the top!  This was definitely one of those cards that should be hand delivered.  I cut out the butterfly with the butterfly die and then added some stamping to their wings with the set Vintage Vogue (now retired) and a bit of sponging.  I then layered them onto a rosette I made with the Designer Rosette die which gives this card a lot of width.  Then added ribbon, pearls some shimmer paint and poof all prettied up!!  Happy Stamping!!

Friends Forever

 This card was made using the set Lean on Me ... it's such a cute little set that is perfect to send to a friend.  Here I used the image with the two best friends hanging out, I colored them in using my water color crayons!!  (love those!!)  I chose the colors by the DSP colors I had lying on my desk ... gotta use up those scraps!!  (Really it's because I'm too lazy to go across the room ad get some out of the drawer.)  Other than that just some simple layering and the cards done!!  Oh and I of course ran the base through the big shot using my dotted EF.  Happy Stamping!!

Delightful Kettle!

 One of my favorite sets is Morning Cup even though I do not drink coffee .... but I have a lot of friends who do.  For this card I used the kettle and the color combo Wisteria Wonder and Pink Pirouette!  Other that it just a couple bunch, embossing folders and some accessories!  Happy Stamping!!

More catching up ...

Nope I am not done catching up my all my cards!! Maybe I should blog daily but as it is I have very little time!! This was a card I made and it was a bit over the top. I just kept adding layers and more layers. At least I finally stopped AND it still looked good! There's so many part to this card and I did a bunch of it with my big shot ... my favorite tool ever!! Happy Stamping!!

6x6 Page Protector

Here was another one of my projects for my secret sister I made using a 6x6 page protector. To make the flowers I cut out cardstock with the Blossom Party originals die, layered and crumpled them. I also added a few brads and buttons. You can find the tutorial on how to make the pouch here. Happy Stamping!!

One Last Vintage Vogue Card

Here's another card I created for my retirement party/workshop. I used the set Vintage Vogue which I am soo said to see retire!  I went with a vintage theme for this card and I thought the Daffodil Delight was a bit brighter than I wanted to a crimped a piece until it was pretty flimsy and then separate the layers and the inside was slightly lighter so I used that side.  Plus it has a nice fleece like texture. I rocked and rolled the Friends image to get both colors, Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede.  Then stamped flowers an cut them out.  I layered two soft suede ones to get the large flower.  Added some ribbon, pearls and lattice die piece to pull it all together.  Happy Stamping!!

Melon Mambo!

I've been absent from blogging lately so trying to get back into the swing of things.  Here's a real simple card we made at my latest workshop as the make and take.  We used the stamp Elizabeth by embossing it with Melon Mambo embossing powder.  We stamped different words using the set Fabulous Phrases and then punched them out using the large oval punch and then highlighted that with some Melon Mambo DSP using the scallop oval punch.  Add a touch of cardstock and dotted ribbon both in Melon Mambo!  It came out super cute!  Happy Stamping!!

One Layer Delight

One layer cards are always the hardest cards for me to make not really sure why but I think it's because I always have to add one more thing but that would defeat the purpose of one layer!!  On this one I used the set Field Flowers and part of a stamp from On Your Birthday. I add a small bow made from Baker's Twine.  Lastly I scored a double line around the edges.  Oh and I added some shimmer paint to the flowers.  Happy Stamping!!

Another Purse

I know I said I would do a tutorial for this cute little purse and it's still on my to do list. I haven't had much stamping time in the last few months and this was one I created a bit ago. And yes I used that dreaded paisley print DSP as much as I have used this paper I still have a half pack left. BUT this purse came out super cute!! Happy Stamping!!

Spring Buttons

I got this set Button Buddies for free and it wasn't originally on my list but I've had fun using it! I stamped the flower image a couple of times in Daffodil Delight for a nice spring color and it goes nicely with Marina Mist. (I sure do wish it was spring here!!!!!!!!!) I added some buttons in brown shades to bring in some additional color. I thought the best sentiment for this card was a thinking of you which could be used for a variety of reasons. Happy Stamping!!

Butterfly Post It Keychain part 2

Another quick post here to share the second version of my post it key chain. Everything is cut the same using the beautiful butterflies dies just changed up the colors to be more vibrant!! happy Stamping!!

Butterfly Post It Keychain

This post is going to be a quick one!! This was a keychain I made out of the Beautiful Butterflies die. I cut out several layers of post its to sandwich between my butterfly. Used the handy cropadile to create a hole to run my key chain piece through and you have a great hostess gift!! Happy Stamping!!

Creative Crew - April Scrapbook Focus

Here is the info if you would like to join us on this months scrapbook challenge!

CCREW0412SF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM -- Scrapbook Inspiration Focus
Make a mini scrapbook album--there are several samples here or on the internet. Use the 2010-2012 In Colors, and pattern packs. What a nice way to say good-bye to these colors.

I have quite a large stash of coin envelopes .. we won't say exactly how many so that's how I decided what type of mini scrapbook I was going to make. I used 6 envelopes for the guts so that I can make cards to slide in and out of each pocket to attach photos to. But for right now I am just sharing the cover of my album. I used the set Vintage Vogue and stamped them in Peach Parfait and Concord Garpe then cut each piece out, I also used Pear Pizzazz. I'm going to be sorry these colors are retiring!! I added some pearls and buttons to the flowers to make them pop a bit more and added the ribbon to tie it all in. I think it's so pretty that I don't think I'm going to give it away just yet!! Happy Stamping!!

12x12 Paper Purse

I shared a mini version of this paper purse earlier this month. This was one that I made from a 12x12 piece of cardstock for a workshop I did back in October ... just a few months ago! (Told you I was getting caught up!!) I sooo wanted to keep this one even though I am not a big orange fan. I'm just gonna have to make one for myself which wil help me get that tutorial done I promised. The flowers I used to accent this purse were made from the blossom flowers die and then I added texture to the flowers by embossing them with the Vintage Wallpaper EF. Happy Stamping!!
