Dreams of summer with flowers and butterflies....it gets me through the winter! The Beautiful Butterflies Bundle #164615 creates LOTS of card design possibilities!! This bundle will help you make a "shaped" card! The bundle contains stamps, dies, and hybrid embossing folder! 

This view shows the card opened flat with the hinge at the wing tips. Cut the card base in white card stock by placing the large butterfly die slightly beyond the fold of the folded card at the wing tips and die cut. Then die cut a single layer of designer paper to attach to the front of the card. Place a black small butterfly die cut on top for detail!

Spring pastels from the Lighter Than Air 6 x 6" Designer Series Paper #162747 create the perfect layer for this sweet tea cup. The Everyday Details Bundle with Dies #162865 is the source of the image and die cuts. 

Did you notice the vellum circle behind the tea cup? The flower is colored with Stampin' Up! BLENDS, alcohol markers.

The bundle has this lovely versatile sentiment appropriate for any "special day!" 

My Team member, Shari Wicks, shared this FUN Blends technique with me!! The results are stunning!!

Die cut the  Gorgeous Garden Die #161283 using Adhesive Sheets #152334. Apply firmly to Basic White Thick Card Stock #159229.  Using Stampin' Up! Alcohol Blends SMALL BULLET TIP, color every opening in the die. This goes very quickly because the die acts as a barrier to keep the bullet tip within each area. 

The Blends used : Highland Heather, Granny Apple, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Pool Party for the background.

Try this unique coloring method with an open die!! Thank you Shari for sharing with me!! It's fun and impressive!

WHY is this a "cheater shaker card?" It uses a 6 X 8" Cellophane Bag #102210 to contain the shaker elements instead of the traditional window sheet! It's easy! It's thinner to mail!

TIPS for an exquisite sunrise or sunset on hand stamped cards:

   *Use Shimmery White Card Stock #101910 and Sponge Daubers #133773

   *Add saturated color to the card stock by collecting water based ink from an ink pad and SCRUBBING the ink all the way across the card with a dauber.

   *For blended colors for the sky, OVERLAP the colors.

   *Stamp silhouetted images on the finished base with BLACK ink

   *Color in any open areas that should be silhouetted using a water based BLACK marker

   *Layer onto a BLACK card base to pop colors

   *PRACTICE & EXPERIMENT

Use plenty of ink, loading your dauber multiple times!

Any highlights, like on this gazebo roof, can be filled in with a black marker to create a true silhouette.

The NEW My Meadow Stamp Set #151650 is perfect for this technique!

These sentiments are from the NEW Peaceful Moments Stamp Set #151595.
