Stampin' Up! Butterfly Bouquet

Stampin' Up! is offering "Sneak Peek" of a new bundle that will be offered in the upcoming Annual Catalog that begins in May.  The Butterfly Brilliance stamp set is one large stamp that has multiple butterflies in it.  Butterfly Wings is the coordinating Die set.  One of the dies matches the stamp set and will cut out all of the butterflies.

The Bundle will be available to purchase from March 2 through May 3.  But wait!  There's more! During this promotion, you will be able to purchase Butterfly Bijou, a pack of 6"x6" Designer Series paper, and Natural Touch Specialty Designer Series Paper, a pack of two 12"x12" sheets of textured, shimmery wood grain Designer Series Paper.  Both sets of Designer Series Paper will not be in new Annual Catalog so will not be available after May 3, when the new catalog starts.  Check out the image below to see what's coming.  I will be posting cards over the next several days of cards I have made with this sweet set of products.

Stampin' Up! Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper

So this is a fun fold!  It's like folding the top of a box.  There are two card bases - one at 4 1/4" x 11" (scored at 2 3/4") and a second one at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (scored at 2 1/8").  This is basically a gate card fold for both pieces.

I find it easier to fold the scored side down, then fold the unscord side into the center so they meet.  Use your bone folder to get really good creases. They are attached at the inside center. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue.   

It helps to stamp your inside center piece before starting to fold it.  You will want to fold the card before placing the designer series paper pieces on it.  When folding the card, fold the left side in first, then the top, followed by the  right side and ending with the bottom side, tucking it in to create the box top effect.  Again, crease as you go.  Note: the cardstock will not meet in the middle - you will have a little square that will be covered up by your center piece. Adhere your designer series paper pieces to each quadrant.  

 Put a dimensional on the top left of your center piece and adhere it to the top left piece.  Be careful not to put any adhesive to the other three pieces or you will not be able to open the card.

Stampin' Up! Oh So Ombre

Here is another monotone card featuring some Sale-A-Bration offerings.  Oh So Ombre designer series paper was trimmed down to 5 1/4" x 4 1/4" and adhered to a Blackberry Bliss card base.  As with the card I posted on Monday, I used a scrap of the designer series paper to stamp the greeting.  

The butterflies are from the Touch of Ink Sale-A-Bration set.

Stampin' Up! Heart to Heart

January swept by so fast...Valentine's Day is almost here already!  I had other projects on my "To Do" list but when I looked at the date, I realised that I needed to get cards made and mailed.  These cards are going in the mail tomorrow to our grandkids.  Hopefully they will get them in time.  Fingers crossed!

Stampin' Up! Sand & Sea

This is a fun and easy card to make.  At our recent team meeting, this was our Mystery Card. It was CASEd from demonstrator Allison Tilsner from Australia.  What a clever idea!  Start with a 12" x 4" piece of  designer series paper and score it at 4" and 8".  I punched the oval through the first panel.  The greeting is stamped on an oval and is actually on the back side of the third panel so that it peeks through the front panel.  The middle panel has a piece of 4" x 4" Basic White with a sentiment stamped on it.  Hope this makes sense!

Stampin' Up! Paper Blooms

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper is a Sale-A-Bration offering.  Sadly, it will be gone in just a few weeks.  It coordinates with the In Bloom Bundle from the January - June Mini Catalog. (note: There is an error in the Sale-A-Bration brochure).

I used a strip of Rococo Rose Scalloped Ribbon behind the greeting.  I cut the strip down the middle and adhered it with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
