One More Butterfly

Yes, I know the weather is changing and I should be thinking about fall and the pending holidays. And I am. Really! However, my favorite butterfly die set called Butterflies Thinlits Dies is on sale this week for 25% off, so I couldn't resist making this post with a sample using it. All products Stampin' Up! See details below about how to receive a free gift from me with an online purchase by midnight of 9/17/15. (That's tomorrow night, so hurry!)




I used Tip Top Taupe ink to create the watercolor background, then stamped a few of the fern images from the Butterfly Basics stamp set, before stamping the same image with Versamark ink and  embossing it with Stampin' Emboss powder in white. The piece of vellum under the butterfly was punched with the Decorative Label punch.

Holiday Catalog and Gift With Purchase

The 2015 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog went live on 9/1/15. However, this is the first chance I have had to blog about it. The catalog is fabulous...filled with wonderful samples and new toys to play with. Tons of bundles are available to save you dollars! Click here to take a look at the catalog or use the link on the right. See details below about how to receive a free gift from me with an online purchase. 




My first card (one on the left) was inspired by a piece of artwork I saw on Pinterest. The card on the right was just a natural deviation on the same idea. I just love minimalist canvas art and pin lots of them to go back and drool over. All products Stampin' Up! unless noted. When I saw this one, the texture reminded me of the new Woodland Textured Impressions embossing folder. 

Inspiration art:



My cards:





This look was simple to achieve. I simply masked areas I wanted to emboss on Whisper White cardstock. I tapped Versamark on those areas, them covered that entire area with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder before heat setting. After the area was cooled, I embossed that piece of cardstock with the Woodland Textured Impressions embossing folder. I adhered the words and the sequins with the new "must have in your stash" Fine Tip Glue Pen. I love the look!
