Painted Glass Coastal Cabana butterflies

Painted Glass Sneak Peek

Today I am sharing with you a sneak peek of some new product which will be available in the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue from the 1st June. The stamp set I am using today is called Painted Glass and is absolutely gorgeous, I especially love the really old fashioned manuscript style font.

Method

I began with a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼”, inked up the delicate little butterfly stamp in Archival Basic Black ink and stamped it randomly down the entire strip. I then took my Coastal Cabana Marker…….yes y this gorgeous colour which was one of the 2013 – 2015 In Color‘s is now coming back into the Brights color family as part of Stampin’ Up!’s colour revamp . I was so happy when I found I still had the marker and a small amount of the cardstock in my collection. Anyway, I digress……I coloured in parts of each butterfly using the Coastal Cabana Marker.

I added the stamped panel onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock 5⅞” by 2½” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive then adding the whole piece to the front of a Coastal Cabana card base again using Tombow.

Taking another piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 1” I stamped the beautiful sentiment in Archival Basic Black ink roughly in the centre of the piece then trimmed the cardstock, using my Stampin’ Trimmer, so that the sentiment would sit over the butterfly panel. The sentiment was then added to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals.

I stamped another butterfly onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using Stampin’ Up!’s  really sharp Paper Snips. After colouring in part of the butterfly with my Coastal Cabana Marker I added some Basic Rhinestones to the butterfly body and added it to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Such a pretty card using one of our returning colours. Hope you like it.

Spring/Summer cards and a lidded box

Easter/Spring Adult Education All Day Event

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to my Adult Education Easter/Spring themed event on Sunday 25th March. I am sharing today the projects they made. I had set up 5 project tables where they made either 2 cards or a simple lidded box + the sweet little bird house featured in the post on the 23rd March.

On arrival each lady was given a pack containing all the pre-cut cardstock layers and card bases they needed to complete the card projects and during the day they moved from table to table making all the projects. The lidded box was pre-scored for them and just needed to be trimmed, put together and decorated. They did use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the cardstock for the birdhouse and assembled this from scratch.

At the table featuring the Watercolor Wings set they were able to try out 4 step stamping using the new Stamparatus  stamp positioning tool which was a resounding success, everybody loved it! They also used the sponge brayer plus an embossing folder and Big Shots to die cut lots of pieces. They also used the Stampin’ Blends on a couple of the projects and really enjoyed using them.
