A Fancy Friday Butterfly Gala Sketch!

Hey!  Have you seen all the fabulous cards that the Stampin' Fancy Friday Design Team have been posting on social media all month?!  I hope so!  Because I finally get to share the card I made!  😀 


ColorsWhisper White, Basic Black, Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Gold
Inks:  Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Memento Jet Black
Cardstock/PapersWhisper White, Basic Black, Gold Foil Sheets
Stamps: Butterfly Gala
Tools: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder, Butterfly Duet Punch
Accessories: Gold Glitter Enamel Dots, Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack

I love a fun white & black color combo with pops of color!  And that's exactly what this sketch called for when I sat down to play.  😁  All I did was stamp the butterflies onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink.  Then I just used my sponge daubers and dabbed some colors on.  Then punched them out!  

I love this little black and white stripe trim piece.  I just cut some narrow strips of Basic Black cardstock, and adhered it to Whisper White cardstock.  Then added it to the cardstock panel.  I love doing this because it is so easy to add such a dynamic piece.  💖

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.  It makes my heart happy every time I see it.  💕


I guess you may want to see the sketch map that was the start of this card, huh?!  😄 Well here you go!

Birthday Celebration Galore with You Are Amazing Stamp Set!

Quick post today to share a quick card!  I will be making hundreds of these throughout the year, so it had to be simple!  (And quick to make!)  My first batch was about 105! 💖  Here was my first step...some fussy cutting!


I stamped the bubble and then the greeting from the NEW "You Are Amazing" Stamp Set & then cut them all out!  Then I added them to the cards!  I did a couple different color combos...and can't decide which one I like the most!  😁

Colors: Whisper White, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness
InksPool Party, Bermuda Bay
Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Shimmery White,
Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness
Stamps: You Are Amazing
Tools: Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder
Accessories: Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins

I stamped the bubble in Pool Party and the greeting in Bermuda Bay for both of the cards.  Then the stripes on this card are: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, & Granny Apple Green. 

The stripes on this card is Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, and Magenta Madness: 

I LOVE the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder & I LOVE the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins...and LOVE them even more on this card.  💕

What do you think?  Do you like to mass produce or just make one/a few cards?!  These actually have been a lot of fun to make.  (Although I am only about 100 down...will have to do this a few more times throughout the year.)  But I do NOT do bows of any kind on cards that I have to make this many of!  Haha.  What tips do you have for mass production?! 


Thanks for visiting!  Let me know if you have ANY questions!!!

Sponging Hearts With Heal Your Heart...

Just a quick card today...super perfect to mail...using a *NEW* Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set!  Which means...you can earn this stamp set FREE with a qualifying order!  Check out the Sale-A-Bration catalog to see all the things you can earn free...after you check out this card!  😀

 
Colors: Whisper White, Just Jade, Magenta Madness
InksJust Jade, Magenta Madness, Gray Granite, StazOn Jet Black
Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Just Jade
Stamps: Heal Your Heart
Tools: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Heat Tool, Basic Pattern Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes
Accessories: Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder

This was a fun card to make, just using a lot of ink for texture.  There is sponging, embossing, and splattering!

First...I used the polka dot mask from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks & the *NEW* Blending Brushes!!! (In the Jan-Jun 2021 Mini Catalog!) to sponge some polka dots in Gray Granite ink.

Then I made a little heart mask from a piece of Vellum Cardstock to sponge the hearts in Just Jade.

I love this inked layered look.  It creates so much texture without a ton of layers.  I did add a few layers of cardstock cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  

Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you have any questions on anything!  Would love to help you with any of your papercrafting needs!

Also...something else that is fun about this card...it is Sale-A-Bration time!  Which means FREE stuff!  This greeting comes from one of the stamp sets that you can earn FREE, Heal Your Heart!  And I love the different panels of the background stamp...just a little touch of texture and uniqueness. 💕

Zoo Globe Birthday...

Just a simple post today to share a quick but darling birthday card!  💕I want to be better about sending out birthday cards this year...so going to be making lots of this type of card hopefully.  Hee.  


ColorsMagenta Madness, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
Inks: Soft Suede, Misty Moonlight BLENDS: Light Magenta Madness, Light Bermuda Bay, Light Daffodil Delight
Cardstock/PapersWhisper White, Crumb Cake, Flower & Field Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Zoo Globe
Tools: Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, Stapler
Accessories: Whale of a Time Sequins, Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack

Have you ever used your Blends Markers to color on Crumb Cake cardstock?  I love the look of the colors like this.  I stamped, colored, splattered, and then embossed it.


And I love subtle texture on cards...like these distressed and curled corners.  Its so easy to just curl a bit with a Bone Folder to break down the fibers of the cardstock.  Then separate the layers a bit.  


 Hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you have any questions!

This card turned out differently than I set out to do...but ended up just going for a BOLD start to the year! And since it is a Black & White Challenge...that makes sense, right?!  😉  

I LOVE this Tailored Tag Punch.  Just so much fun to use a million different ways!  I love the geometric pattern created here by just punching and adhereing to cardstock. 


Isn't it so much fun?!  And even though it is a black & white challenge... I just had to add a pop of color...and one of my fave colors, of course!  You can't start a new year without a POP of color, right?!  😁What color would you choose to start the year off with?!  Coastal Cabana for me!
