More Easter and Nature’s Perfection
I couldn’t stop using the fun rose template that is part of the Artisan Embellishment Kit in the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog. If you missed it, you’ll find another version HERE. I’ve also explained how to use Sponge Daubers and Stamp Pads to create the background on that first card. This one uses Real Red roses on a background of Old Olive.
- I die cut two Basic Black cardstock pieces for this card. The “happy” comes from the Hello You Thinlits, and the sweet edging is a piece from Finishing Touches Edgelits, both used with the Big Shot.
- The butterfly and the row of flowers are both stamps contained in Nature’s Perfection, a newly added stamp set to the Sale-A-Bration offering this month. Spend $50 (before tax/shipping) on any Stampin’ Up! products, and choose this beautiful stamp set free!
- I wanted the butterfly to have the same softly colored feel as the stenciled roses, so I stamped in Black StazOn Ink then used my Sponge Dauber and Real Red stamp pad to add a splash of color to it. And Stampin’ Up! has a coordinating punch called Elegant Butterfly that will line up with this stamp precisely.
- “Easter” comes from the Indescribable Gift stamp set, also in the 2015 Occasions Catalog.
- I came up with a pretty accent and something different for this card. I used the smallest Basic Black Button in the Neutrals Designer Button packet, then placed the largest Rhinestone Jewel in the center. Fits perfectly and gives the right look to the card!

Welcome, Julia
I've been so fortunate to add several terrific women to my From the Heart Stampers team over the past couple of months, and Julia Hill is no exception! I got to spend some time with Julia at our weekend retreat in April; she had so much fun that she decided to join with Ruth Petrovich in June! I've made this card to welcome Julia to our team.
This card is an example of accidents being a great part of designing! I cut the butterflies from the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die using a piece of Whisper White card stock that was stamped with the Extreme Elements stamp set and Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight Classic Ink. This piece of paper was a "reject" lying on my crafting table from another project. I was going to use it as a background piece but had changed my mind and couldn't bring myself to toss it. It was the perfect touch for this card! Next, I wanted to stamp the base of the card stock with a stamp set and found out that I had loaned it to another stamper! Not to worry! I hadn't used my brand new Decor Stencils Elegant Trio Set or my Frost White Shimmer Paint! Just dab on the shimmer paint over the stencil using a Sponge Dauber and in a few seconds, you have a fabulous background! So when you don't think you have what you want for creating your cards, look around you–you might be really surprised what you come up with!
