Doily Builder Swaps for OnStage

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the swaps I made using the gorgeous Doily Builder dies for this weekend’s OnStage event in Telford. This is a demonstrator only event where we get to meet friends, see new product, play with new stuff and generally have a lot of fun.

Making the Doily Builder card swap

Swaps for OnStage made using the gorgeous Doily Builder dies by Stampin' Up!

You will need;
Window Sheet 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper right corner
Either Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Scraps of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron cardstock, Whisper White & Gray Granite cardstock for die cutting and punching

I began by cutting the large doily into the Window sheet using my Big Shot. This gave me a sturdy stencil that could be used multiple times over.

I placed the mask onto the Whisper White panel, holding it in place with my finger. I inked up the stencil using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana inks in random orders. I moved the stencil and repeated again using the colours randomly.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label punch. This was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

I die cut the medium and small doilies using the same three colours and added one small and one medium doily to the stamped panel using Mini Glue Dots.

The Gray Granite butterfly was punched out using the Butterfly Duet punch and this was added to the stamped panel with a Mini Glue Dot. The panel was then added to a panel of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock and a trio of Iridescent Sequins added to complete the card front.

I really liked the combination of Spring like colours. Ihope you like it.

Sweet bokeh dot and butterfly card made for a sketch and colour challenge

Beauty Abounds for 2 challenges

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the Freshly Made Sketches #374 Challenge using the colours for the CAS Colours & Sketches #307 challenge. I chose to use the lovely bokeh dots from the Beauty Abounds stamp set paired with the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I stamped the larger and smaller bokeh dot images up the right hand side of the panel in 1st and 2nd generation Lovely Lipstick ink and Powder Pink ink. I just love these dots, they are so, so versatile and make great backgrounds.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. I punched this out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I also punched the same tag in Lovely Lipstick and Powder Pink cardstock. I cut each of the coloured tags across the middle from side to side and added them behind the Whisper White tag, allowing a little of each colour to show. The whole tag was then added to the stamped panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I rounded the upper right hand corner with the Detailed Trio Punch………….I know, I just can’t help myself! I adhered the stamped panel, using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to a layer of gray Granite cardstock 5½” by 3¾” with a rounded upper right corner. This was then added using the same adhesive to the front of a Lovely Lipstick card base.

I stamped 3 small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Gray Granite ink, punched them out using the Butterfly Duet Punch and added them to the Whisper White panel using Mini Glue Dots. To finish the front of the card I added some of the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots in the Lovely Lipstick to the centre of each butterfly and scattered a few among the bokeh dots.

I stamped the large and small bokeh dots and the butterfly in the lower left hand corner of a panel of Whisper White cardstock  5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered this to the inside of the card using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. The same stamps and colours were then used to decorate the front of the envelope.

I hope you like it.

Amazingly this card was chosen as a weekly winner of the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge

Lovely butterfly cards made using the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-Bration designer series paper and the Butterfly Duet Punch

Butterfly January Classes

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the trio of cards made by the ladies who came to the Butterfly January classes this week. The class was designed around the Butterfly Gala Stamp set and co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch and was inspired by a card I made for the Inspire Create #032 challenge on the 4th December 2018. I also wanted to give each lady a 6” by 6” sample pack of the gorgeous Botanical Butterfly dsp to use in class and to take the remainder home to add to their stash.

Emboss Resist Technique

A pretty birthday card made using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and embossed resist technique

The first card we made was the card I designed for the Inspire, Create Challenge involving embossing and adding ink using sponge brayers, such a fun technique. As I have already blogged about this card please follow this link for all the details –

A Little Note card

We started with a Lemon Lime Twist card base, each lady then chose a piece of dsp from their sample pack, cutting it to 5⅝” by 3⅞”. The upper right corner of both the card base and the dsp were rounded using the Detailed trio Punch and the dsp added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We stamped a sentiment in Lemon Lime twist ink onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 4⅛” by 2¾”, rounded the upper right corner before adding the panel to a layer of Highland Heather 4⅜” by 3”. This panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly the ladies selected a large and a small butterfly from the dsp and punched them out using the Butterfly Bouquet Punch. The butterflies were added using Mini Glue Dots and the card was finished with a scattering of Basic Rhinestones.

Butterfly Birthday card

We started the final card by choosing a piece of dsp and laying it, offset onto the front of a Thick Whisper White card base. I then lifted the corner and applied Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive underneath before trimming away the excess dsp and adhering the rest of the panel. Some of the ladies found it easier to draw around the dsp making it easier to trim off the excess.

We stamped a sentiment in Highland Heather ink. Next we punched out 1 large and 3 small butterflies adding them to the card front using Mini Glue Dots and finishing with a scattering of Basic Rhinestones.

I hope you like these cards.

Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist used with the Butterfly Gala Stamp set for a pretty card

Berry Burst Butterflies

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet card featuring butterflies which I made as one of my samples for January’s classes featuring the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Making the card

I started by stamping a double butterfly randomly all over the front of a Berry Burst card base in Berry Burst ink. I stamped it again in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet punch. I used my Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist Markers to colour the butterflies in.

I stamped the sentiment on scrap Whisper White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and die cut a circle using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Dies. I also die cut a Basic Black scalloped circle and a Lemon Lime Twist circle. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the stamped white layer to the Basic Black layer, then the Basic Black to the Lemon Lime Twist circle.

I added a strip of Tear n Tape to the card front and added a loop of Berry Burst silver Edged ribbon to the Tear n Tape before adding the circle topper on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the butterflies to the topper with Mini Glue Dots and added some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Butterfly Gala and Swirly Frames stamp sets by Stampin' Up! used for the GDP #168

Butterfly Gala used for the Global Design Project #168 challenge

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the card I made for the Global Design Project challenge number #168. I have used the gorgeous Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Swirly Frames stamp set to mimic the gorgeous wreath card designed by Sarah Berry.

Making the card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I inked up the largest circle from the Swirly Frames stamp set using Gray Granite ink and stamped it towards the top of the Whisper White panel. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel..

I stamped a number of the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto scraps of Whisper White cardstock in Gray Granite ink and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I coloured the butterflies in using the dark Petal Pink, dark Mint Macaron and dark Balmy Blue Blends pens; I wanted to keep to subtle pastel colours for this card. I added a body to each using Gray granite ink. Using the triple tiny butterfly stamp from the Needle & Thread stamp set I added the butterflies randomly around the circle in Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink ink.

The sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was stamped in Balmy Blue ink in the centre f the circle and added the punched butterflies using Mini Glue Dots. I added the decorated panel to a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock having rounded the upper left and lower right corners as before. The whole panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finishe I added some of the lovely Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
