Paying Tribute to the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Butterfly Duet Punch...

It's time to say good by to the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and the Butterfly Duet Punch. This is your last chance to snag this beautiful stamp set and coordinating punch before they retire for good.  Below are all the projects I have made over the years using using this stamp set and punch.  Boy, I guess I do love my butterflies.  : )

 

Sneak Peek 2021-2023 In Colors with Wild Rose Background Stamp

I thought it would be fun to make a card using the new 2021-2023 In Colors.  I stamped five different sheets, each with a new in color using the Wild Rose Background Stamp.   Then I cut strips measuring 3 1/2" x 7/8" and layered them on Vellum Cardstock which looks so pretty against the Smoky Slate Cardstock. 

Details:

• Smoky Slate Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Vellum Cardstock:  5" x 3 3/4"
• Each strip measures 3 1/2" x 7/8" (just under 1")

Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle - Subtles Designer Series Paper

Today's card was made using the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle which includes the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and the Sunflowers Dies.  I used cardstock and designer series paper from the Subtles color family.

Details:

• White Cardstock card base:  4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and embossed using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder
• The top stencil layer of the sunflower was cut using Highland Heather Cardstock and Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
• The layer underneath was cut using the Highland Heather DSP , Pear Pizzazz DSP and So Saffron DSP from the Subtles 6x6 Designer Series Pack
• The 'Let's Celebrate You' sentiment was stamped on So Saffron Cardstock using Early Espresso Ink

Organize It Friday - Tip #9: Die Cut Pieces

I love finding new ways to organize my stamping supplies... and I love sharing these tips with you.  

This is my drawer of die cut pieces.  When creating a card or project, I often try out different tags and layers.  I keep the extra pieces I don't use in a draw for future projects.  When I have time, I use my White Cardstock paper scraps to cut out more pieces and replenish.  It's great to have a stash of die cut pieces ready for stamping... it's a huge time saver.  

I store the die cut pieces in this clear acrylic make-up divider I purchased from Home Goods.  It helps to separate the different shaped die cuts and sits perfectly in my desk draw.
