STAMPIN' UP! SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES WEDDING CARD FEATURING DAFFODIL DELIGHT

 

In this week's Colour Creations blog hop, our feature colour is Daffodil Delight.  Yellow is not a colour I gravitate towards in my crafting, so it has been a bit of a challenge for me to have Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight to work with these past couple of weeks!

I have created a wedding card in white, with touches of Daffodil Delight and gold.  I have used Thick Basic White card for all my white layers.  I like to use it when I'm colouring with Stampin' Blends Markers, and when using a 3D embossing folder (and intricate dies).

I stamped the large butterfly, and two smaller ones, on Thick Basic White card using Versamark ink.  After sprinkling white embossing powder over the stamped images, I melted the powder with my heat tool.  I used Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the butterflies, then cut them out with co-ordinating dies.

In my close-up photos, you can see some of the detail in the two Thick Basic White layers that are matted on Gold Foil.  The top layer was die-cut using a Delicate Forest Die, that creates a leafy arched aperture.  On the next Thick Basic White layer, you can see some of the Distressed Tile embossing.

 

On the bottom of the two layers, I gold heat-embossed the sentiment, from Something Fancy.  I then partially embossed this panel, using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.  

Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots were added to REALLY bring out the yellow on my card!

I added some white baker's twine to the bottom of my card front, wrapping two lengths around the layers before adhering them to the Thick Basic White card base.  With another two lengths of twine, I made a bow, and added it with Mini Glue Dots.

Inside the card, I added a white-embossed sentiment on Daffodil Delight card.  I cropped the sentiment with the long label from the Delicate Forest Dies, running it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine twice, to cut it down to the size I needed.

HOC WEEK 8: STAMPIN' UP! HUMBLE HOME CHRISTMAS CARD

 

Every Monday night, until late November, a group of us (all Stampin' Up! demostrators in Australia) is sharing Christmas projects, to inspire you to use Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous products in your Christmas crafting.

I have combined two of my favourite Christmas bundles - Humble Home, and Peaceful Season - to create the card I'm sharing tonight.  The super-festive background paper is from the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper pack.

I don't think I'll ever tire of these beautiful sentiments ... how nicely they stamp, and die-cut, and co-ordinate with one another.  I stamped "Christmas" in Garden Green ink, and cut it out with the co-ordinating die (although I now see my placement of the die was a little "off" - whoops!).  The second line of the sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink, and was cut out using a Delicate Forest Die. 

Here's a closer look at one of the little houses, and the Garden Green embossed card strip.  I embossed the pattern on the Garden Green card using the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder.  I then flipped it over, so the debossed side is showing, and inked the edges with Garden Green ink.

The houses were stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink, on Thick Basic White card.  I coloured them using Stampin' Blends Markers in Pecan Pie and Real Red, with Daffodil Delight used for the window light detail.  The wreath was coloured with my Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends, and dots added with the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker.

I mounted each house onto a Basic White circle cut with a Stylish Shapes Die.  The Real Red hearts were punched out using the Humble Home punch.
