Super excited to be involved in another great Blog Hop, with
the beautiful and talented ladies from the “Creative Inkers” Team.
This Blog Hop show-cases the Occasionals 2015 brochure, but I
just had to add in a sneaky peak of the gorgeous “Irresistibly Yours” Specialty
Designer Series Paper, and the “Best Year Ever” stamps set, both available for
FREE in the Sale-A-Bration brochure, with each $110 Stampin’ Up! purchase.
You are now at Blog Hop #14, and may have just come from
visiting with Sharon de Vos, to check out at #16 Debbie Lamb, click here
This first card is in shades of Blushing Bride and Strawberry
Slush.
It features the gorgeous “Painted Petals” stamp set, which was
the first stamp set on my Wish List when the new Occasionals brochure, which
stated on the 6th of January.
The Blushing Bride cardstock has been scored using the Simply
Scored Scoring Tool, to give it an elegant look.
Classic Stampin Pads used throughout the card are Garden Green
and Strawberry Slush.
For the Tag, I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and Project
Life Corner, along with Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, which has been backed with
Strawberry Slush cardstock.
The Tag has Venetian Crochet Trim that has been secured/stapled
with the Handheld Stapler, and some pink twine has been tied in a bow and secured
with a Glue Dot.
The finishing touch is the Pearl Basic Jewel, which has been
coloured with the Melon Mambo Blendabilities, and anchors the card nicely.
For the card insert, a strip of Strawberry Slush cardstock has been added,
which has been punched using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.
The flowers have been stamped in Strawberry Slush and Garden
Green, and the sentiment in this card has been placed on the lower right corner.
This is a sweet little card, which I have already given away
to a number of friends.
Wah-lah … "Painted Petals" card done!
My second card features the “Butterflies” Framelits, along
with the “Best Year Ever” stamp set and “Irresistibly Yours” Specialty Designer
Series Paper.
The card base is Bermuda Bay, with layers of Coastal Cabana
and Pool Party.
The words “YOU made MY DAY” are stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.
The Tag is made using the Angled Tag Topper Punch, and the “Irresistibly
Yours” Specialty Designer Series Paper has been sponged with Coastal Cabana ink.
Two butterflies have been cut from Bermuda Bay and Coastal
Cabana cardstock, using the gorgeous new “Butterflies” Framelits. They are layered and secured to the Tag, and
a flower has been placed on the centre of the butterfly.
I have two different cards pictured, as one has Seam Binding Ribbon in Pool Party tied through the Tag loop, the other has the SAB2015 "Best Year Ever" Accessory Pack Polyester Ribbon in Coastal Cabana.
The finishing touch is the Pearl Basic Jewel, which has been
coloured with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities, and anchors the card nicely.
For the Card Insert, the words “Best. Year. Ever.” are stamped
on Naturals White cardstock in Bermuda Bay ink.
The stamp set “Best Day Ever” also has a lovely splotchy
circles stamp, which I have used in the lighter colour of Coastal Cabana.
Wah-lah …Butterflies Card done!
