Card for my Grandtwins!!

  

 

My daughter had twins (Boy and Girl) in February and they were premature, so we just had the baby shower for her this past Saturday.  This is the card I made for her baby shower which is called a Double Slider card.  I learned how to make these from a video from Julie Davison. HERE   The sets I used were Something for Baby and A Dozen Thoughts.  Something for Baby has the Framelits to match called Baby's First.  The colors I used were Wild Wasabi, Perfect Plum and Marina Mist.  The ribbon I used is the 5/8" Striped Cotton Black Berry and the Baker's Twine in Old Olive.  I used

the Tear and Tape to hold it together on this one.  Fast Fuse works very well too once I learned how to use it correctly from the Stampin' Up! video FAST FUSE VIDEO

Watercolor Wings in Purples

This is another Watercolor Wings cards that I made using the colors Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Blackberry Bliss for the 2-step stamping.  I used Whisper White cardstock  for the base of my card, and Blackberry Bliss for the top running it through the Fluttering TIEF in the Big Shot.  The bottom is Perfect Plum and I stamped Happy Birthday from the hostess set called "Happy Birthday, Everyone" on the bottom Perfect Plum cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I wrapped the 5/8" Blackberry Bliss Striped Cotton Ribbon around the middle. I double layered the butterfly to make him pop up more and added him with Dimensionals.  I also attached Metallic Silver Thread with Glue Dots for his feelers. On the inside of my card, I used the "Remembering Your Birthday" which is perfect for birthday card verses.  This would make a perfect card for someone who loves the color purple as well as butterflies.

POP-UP Diorama Birthday Card

This is another Diorama Card I made but with the stamp set Build a Birthday and Sprinkles of Life.  The ink colors I used are Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Soft Suede, and Memento Black.  I used the Itty Bitty Accents Flower Punch, Rhinestones, 1-3/4" and 2" Circle Punches.  I made another one just like this one for a swap but used different colors and forgot to scan it.  You can view how to make this type card HERE

Watercolor Wings in Blue/Greens

Just love this set called Watercolor Wings with 15 Photopolymer stamps.  It coordinates with the Bold Butterfly Framelits #138135 which you can purchase as a bundle to save 15%.  It also coordinates with the  Butterfly Thinlets #137360.  The background is Whisper White using the new Fluttering TIEF.  My favorites Stampin' Up! colors seem to be Pool Party, Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay as you might have noticed. The stamp set is a two-step stamping technique and very easy to do with the Photopolymer stamps and Clear Blocks a, d, e and g. If you would like to own this set, you can go to SHOP NOW and/or purchase it HERE
