Painted Petals

This is a card I made for a swap in March.  The colors are Blackberry Bliss and Wild Wasabi.
The stamp set Painted Petals is from the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  The stamp set has 13 stamps but mine actually had 18 when they first manufactured them.  I had to align the flowers, leaves and stems separately which involved 7 stamps.  So if you order this set now, it will be much easier now that it only has 13 stamps. The Designer Series Paper is from the 2015 Occasions Catalog called Painted Blooms.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Stitched Satin Blackberry Bliss. 

Painted Petals- Amazing

This is a card I created using the Painted Petals stamp set.  I've been having fun using this set creating some flower cards that remind me of Spring which is just around the corner.  The colors I used were Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana.  The background is from the Painted Blooms DSP.  The ribbon is from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack. from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

8.       To make the butterfly:  Use the Magnetic Platform in the Big Shot.  Put down cutting pad, then dryer sheet unfolded and then folded in half, the 4 ¾” x 4” Pacific Point cardstock, the large butterfly thinlet, and the other cutting pad.  Run it through the Big Shot.  Most of the little pieces will stick to the dryer sheet instead of your butterfly, but if they do they will easily come out.  Dryer sheet can be used over about 3 times.  Attach Pearl Basic Jewels to your butterfly and attach to the belly band with Glue Dots.

Butterfly Basics

This card was inspired by a card that Cindy Elam posted on Pinterest, only I used different colors.
The stamp set is from Butterfly Basics. The butterfly is from the Butterflies Thinlet Dies which can be purchased as a Bundle from the Occasions Catalog 2015.  The Designer Series Paper is called Painted Blooms from the Occasions catalog.  The main card base is Rose Red and so is the ink and butterfly.  We did this card at my recent stamp camp too.

Painted Blooms DSP and Butterfies Thinlets

Today I bought a 12" x 12" white frame at my nearby craft store and then came home and inserted this beautiful Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!.  I cut out two Butterflies from the Butterfly Thinlets from Rose Red and Blackberry Bliss and another small Rose Red butterfly and attached it to the outside glass with Glue Dots.  It is now hanging in my living room making me think of Spring.  Love it!
