Colourful Papillon

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

This stunning card was inspired by Andrea Walford.  I used the brayer to create the beautiful shades of colour on the front and medium panels.  I then used the Circle Framelits to cut the different sized circles and stamped butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set in Staz-on Ink.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  Although you can't really see them in the photo, I put three little rhinestones in the centre of each butterfly and one on either side of the greeting.

Strawberry Slush Meadow

The top card was one of the cards we made at my launch party.  I stepped it up a bit to give to a friend recently.  The colours used are Strawberry Slush and Whisper White.  The stamp is the beautiful Wildflower Meadow and it was dry embossed with the Wildflower Meadow Embossing Folder.

To step it up, I added a greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and punched it out using the Word Window punch.  I then layered it on a Modern Label.  I also added several Rhinestone Jewels to the flowers, bird and the greeting.

Mosaic Madness

We made this card at my recent launch party.  It is CASEd from one of Andrea Walford's cards, a very talented demonstrator from Canada.

It uses the new In-Colours of Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe as well as Whisper White.  The stamp sets are Mosaic Madness and Label Love.  The punched out greeting was with the coordinating Artisan Label punch (buy this punch and Label Love together and save 15%).  The embossing in the background was done using the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.

Book to Look Cake

I made this card stock "cake" for my launch party that I held lately.  Anyone who booked their own party could choose a "slice" and inside was a voucher which they could redeem at their party.  I used Very Vanilla card stock, Raspberry Ripple 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and some flower trim.  The design of the cake was from a video posted by Sam Donald, a demonstrator in the UK.

Decorated Tea Light

I decorated some battery-operated tea lights and placed them on the tables at my husband's 40th birthday party.

I used Indigo Baby and Pool Party card stock with some Pool Party DSP around the sides.  I used three different punches: 1-1/4" Scallop Circle, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle and the small one on top is from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  I also put the small Pearl Basic Jewels on the small circles at the top of each candle.  I made about 20 of these.

Wildflower Meadow

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

The Wildflower Meadow stamp and matching Embossing folder (look closely - you'll notice that the image is raised) make it so easy to make a quick card.  I made this one for my husband who recently turned 40.  I thought it was appropriate for a male and he seemed to like it.  The greeting is from Label Love and was punched out using the coordinating Artisan Label Punch.

The colours used are Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White.
