Butterfly Brilliance Special Offer!

Here is my last Butterfly Brilliance creation using the die cut butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. I have seen many cards created with an opening for the butterfly on several sites, so here’s my take on this concept. I die cut the butterflies from the DSP and then used the scraps of DSP left over on the sides of my card. The center portion of the card is an 11″ long by 3.25″ wide piece of basic white card stock, scored at 5.5″. The “slot” is punched with the “Classic Label” punch (don’t punch all the layers at once, they are too thick!). Sadly, the “Classic Label” punch will be retiring with the release of the NEW 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. So, don’t delay, order yours today!

“Retiring” List Released by Stampin’ Up!

On Wednesday, March 24th, Stampin’ Up! released the “Retiring” list of products. To make room for new products in the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, sadly, some current items must be retired. These items are only available while supplies last, so don’t delay ordering your favorites before they are gone! Not all, but many items on this list are discounted for even greater savings! My apologies for the delay in getting this list posted, I was having technical difficulties!

Spring Butterflies!

Here are two more card samples created from the Butterfly Bijou DSP, which I am sad to report is no longer available as Stampin’ Up! sold out of their inventory! Good news though, you can stamp all six butterflies at once with the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and then die cut them out all at once with the Brilliant Wings Dies! Add color to these beauties with your choice of medium, Stampin’ Blends, Markers, Watercolor Pencils, Water Painters or Blender Pens and Ink or even the new Blending Brushes from the January – June Mini Catalog! I have one more card to share, so come back in a few days to see this additional sample!

Butterfly Bijou card samples

The largest butterfly card uses Basic White, So Saffron and Basic Black cardstock. The So Saffron layer is textured with the “Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder”. The butterfly is mounted on a “Stitched Shapes” square and has double layered dimensionals under the wings to give them a “lift”. The greeting is from the “Peaceful Moments” stamp set and is mounted on a label created with the “Lovely Labels Pick a Punch”. To finish the card, I added some Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, Matte Black Dots and a touch of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the butterfly wings.

The second card uses a strip of the Butterfly Bijou DSP (recently sold out) on Basic White card stock. The right side of the panel is textured with the “Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder”. This greeting, also from the ‘Peaceful Moments” set is stamped on a “Stitched Rectangles” die and placed on dimensionals. Both butterflies are mounted with dimensionals and I added a bit of glitz with a touch of Wink of Stella on the wings along with a few “Artistry Blooms Sequins”.
