En Francais Butterfies

This card is an all out case of a design on AndreaWalford's blog.  Her card immediately caught my eye and I wanted to reproduce it.

And any card that uses the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die is worth a second look.

The En Francais background stamp is stamped using the Craft stamping pad for lovely subtlety.

Stamps:  En Francais

Card:  Peach Parfait, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Whisper White Craft Ink

Tools:  Big Shot (have you got one of these yet?), Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die

Triple Treat Tripled

Our A la Carte stamp Triple Treat stamp is a fantastic starter for a beginner stamper.  It's a beautiful stamp in its own right, but it also co-ordinates with three punches.  Here I have stamped it in three different colurs and layered the pieces to create an eye-catching design.

Stamps:  Triple Treat Flower

Card:  Whisper White, Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Designer Series Paper Stack In Colours

Ink:  Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade

Tools:  Fanct Flower Punch, 5-Petal Flower Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Big Shot, Polka Dot TEF

Accessories:  White Baker's Twine

Sale-a-Bration DSP Love Notes

As promised, here are the mini note cards we made in class.  All up we made eight.  It was fun to revisit old techniques, stamps and punches but use them with the new DSP.  Remember this paper is FREE throughout Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order.

To write a recipe for each of these would take forever but the colours that we worked with were Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede and Poppy Parade.  This DSP is such a bright and cheerful combination!

Thanks for stopping by!

This DSP is so clever!

How often do you get to post a blog entry on the 29th of February??   I know I have never done it before. 

When I first played with the SAB DSP I thought it was designed to go with the Fresh Vintage stamp set, which it was!  But I have recently had a play with Elementary Elegance as you may have noticed in a previous post.  Did you notice the little birds?

They are repeated in a couple of the designs of the DSP and are teamed with Lucky Limeade and Pool Party.  I love these In colors - they are so fresh.

So here's a card using Lucky Limeade..

And here is another with Pool Party.

The striped texture in Pool Party was created using the Stampin' Up! Striped Textured Impressions Embossing Folder while the Lucky Limeade card uses the Polka Dot TEF.

A pretty quick card to put together.

Thanks for stopping by!
