Watercolor Wings and Cottage Garden sentiments
I love this simple layout. You could use it with just about any stamp set, but with the Watercolor Wings butterfly by Stampin’ Up!, the Daffodil Delight scalloped circle looks a bit like the sun. Here are some details on my easy birthday card.
- Colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Sweet Sugarplum – so fun and cheery!
- The butterfly is first offstamped in Sweet Sugarplum Ink, meaning that I inked up that bold background image, then stamped onto a scrap piece of paper, then onto my cardstock. The overlay is full-strength Sweet Sugarplum Ink. I added the butterfly body with Black Memento Ink. While we do carry a framelit to cut out the butterfly, I chose to paper snip around the image so that I could include the body.
- A good investment for your crafting supplies is the new Stampin’ Up! Layering Circles Framelits. Not only can you create regular circles, but you can also create scallops – and both come in 8 different sizes, for a total of 16 dies!
- Another great investment is the In Color Designer Series Paper Stack. With 40 sheets, 4 of each of 2 double-sided designs in all of the new In Colors, you’ll be able to create lots and lots of cards and scrapbook pages with all of the colors on hand.
- I love the little accents in the top right corner – they’re the White Perfect Accents, Sweet Sugarplum Enamel Circle and a small Rhinestone Jewel.
- My sentiment again is from Cottage Greetings (I use this one all the time!). If you don’t have this stamp set yet, please pick it up. You won’t be sorry! Lots of fun greetings for all of the occasions you love best. In fact, here’s the same card using the “congrats” stamp.
- When adhering the butterfly, I used a strip of Dimensionals down the center so the wings were loose and look like they’re fluttering.

Pretty Petals and a great layout
I love having a super sketch to start out my card designs! And the folks at Mojo Monday have a great new sketch every week. Here was the sketch for last week:
- See how quick and easy your cards come together with a wonderfully balanced layout? I’ll tell you a bit about my card in case you want to duplicate it.
- Another fabulous tool to quick and easy cards are the designer papers from Stampin’ Up! This card features Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack, which comes in a 6″x6″ packet – 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. The possibilities are endless! I chose the butterflies and then simply built my color scheme around that paper. And the little butterfly is punched out of another pattern using the Bitty Butterfly Punch. Here are some of the other terrific patterns:
- And here’s a link to view another card I made using Pretty Petals – click HERE to view.
- The 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon has been a terrific addition to our new Annual Catalog. Here I’ve used Pacific Point to coordinate.
- The heartfelt sentiment comes from Watercolor Wings stamp set. It’s my most favorite new stamp! Who wouldn’t like to receive a card acknowledging how precious life’s moments are with them!
- All three circles come from Stampin’ Up! Punches – 1″, 1-3/4″ and 2″. The Pacific Point and Old Olive cardstock circles are run through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder for some added texture.
- My accessories continue with a small Pearl and Rhinestone, as well as some Gold Thread behind the sentiment.

Watercolor Wings and Bold Butterfly Framelits
I’m sure by now you’ve seen lots and lots of samples using the coordinating products Watercolor Wings stamp set and the Bold Butterfly Framelits by Stampin’ Up! But really, the possibilities are endless! And you save by purchasing both in a bundle!
- I’m totally hooked on the new 2015-17 In Colors. I just can’t get enough of them! And in my opinion using Basic Black with them just makes them pop. I tried using the Tip Top Taupe as the card base and butterfly, and it just wasn’t as pretty. Check out another card using 2015-17 In Colors and Basic Black HERE.
- I began by running a strip of Delightful Dijon cardstock through the Big Shot with the brand new Elegant Dots Embossing Folder. Another great one to use would be Fluttering with the embossed butterflies.
- Rounding the corners on the Mint Macaron cardstock softens the look and coordinates better with the Watermelon Wonder cardstock circle which was cut with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch. The leaf that’s stamped tone on tone comes from World of Dreams stamp set.
- Now for the fun part – creating our butterfly! I ran Basic Black cardstock through the Big Shot with the Bold Butterfly Framelit. Then I used the framelit to trace a butterfly on the Watermelon Wonder Designer Paper. I cut it out by hand with my Paper Snips and glued on the Basic Black piece over the top with a 2-Way Glue Pen. After gluing, you can go back and trim more paper off if necessary. I stamped the antennae on the circle then adhered the butterfly to the circle with one Dimensional in the center.
- This beautiful sentiment is contained in the Watercolor Wings stamp set. I love what it says and I love the font! I stamped in Black Memento Ink – my black ink of choice for most projects.
- Now for some accessorizing! The sweet resin flower is from the new In Color Blossom Accents – 4 each of all 5 colors in a package!
- The four black shiny circle accents are White Perfect Accents colored with a Sharpie. You can color them any color you choose, and they’re self adhesive.
Do you love the 2015-17 In Colors as much as I do? Why not join my In Color Club – details can be found HERE. But hurry – there are only two weeks left to join!
