STAMPIN' UP! VERY VINTAGE BIRTHDAY CARD WITH SPRINGTIME IMPRESSIONS BUTTERFLIES

I have used the lacy, partial doily, stamp from Very Vintage in a couple of ways on today's card.  Firstly, I stamped on Balmy Blue card, using the stamp inked first in Balmy Blue ink, then in Crumb Cake ink.  Using Crumb Cake ink, stamped off  a couple of times on scrap paper first, I repeatedly stamped the same image on the white die-cut label.  (NB:  The label is part of the Stitched Seasons framelits die set that will be available to purchase in August.)

Two butterflies were cut using the Springtime Impressions die.  I adhered the Crumb Cake butterfly directly on top of the Balmy Blue butterfly.

Can you see the ornate Balmy Blue piece, die cut using Delicate Lace edgelits?

STAMPIN' UP! TROPICAL CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD IN PURPLE

I have had a bit of play time in my craft room this weekend, along with doing some shopping, and attending a (somewhat hilarious) tea cosy exhibition.  All up, it has been a good weekend!

I've mixed things up a bit with Tropical Chic, and made our gorgeous purples the stars of the show on today's card.

After die-cutting the leafy window in my main Gorgeous Grape panel, I embossed the cardstock with the new Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder.  The delicate vines that I've adhered around three sides of the window are cut using the Botanical Tags dies.  I have found a relatively mess-free way of gluing delicate diecuts, is to squirt some Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue onto a silicone craft mat.  Using a sponge, pick up a small amount of glue, and dab it onto the reverse side of the die cut.  It makes a bit of a mess of the silicone mat, but not your card ... so, a happy outcome!

Listed below are the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, and you live in Australia, you can go direct to my online store by clicking on one of the thumbnail images below.  I would love for you to shop with me, if you don't already have your own Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

I hope you've had an enjoyable weekend, too, and have lots to look forward to in the coming week.

STAMPIN' UP! VERY VINTAGE SYMPATHY CARD IN SOFT SEA FOAM

Soft Sea Foam is new to Stampin' Up!'s colour range.  It is a beautiful pale green, evoking thoughts of calm.  For this reason, I have used it on a sympathy card.  I have kept the colour palette very simply, pairing Soft Sea Foam with Very Vanilla.

Very Vintage, the stamp set that provided the gorgeous focal floral image, is available as a Stampin' Reward for any order over $250.

The gorgeous stitched shapes that contain the main image are from Stitched Seasons Framelits ... look out for them in August, when they'll be available to purchase as part of a special promotion.

I flagged the ends of my sentiment strip using the Tailored Tag punch - quick and easy, if you don't feel like using Paper Snips!

I have listed below all the current Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  (The indicative value of Very Vintage shows, but you cannot purchase it unless you've earned Stampin' Rewards with a qualifying order.  The price of Stitched Seasons Framelits is shown, so you know what to expect when they become available for purchase in August.)  If you'd like to buy them for yourself, I would love for you to shop in my online store ... just click on any of the thumbnail images.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend, filled with things and people you love.
