Special Reason Bundle by Stampin' Up!

This is a gorgeous bundle (which saves you 10% by bundling) that will give you so many variations when you use the framelits.  And the stamp set gives you many choices for the sentiment.  The set is retiring effective May 31/17 so if you decide you would like to own it, just know that the clock is ticking.




The two cards I created are similar but different and the shading is done using the Stampin' Write Markers in the same shade as the flowers are stamped with.  I recommend diving right in and getting the whole set.  You will be surprised how much you use them once you have them.





I started by stamping a selection of flowers and leaves.  If you ink once and stamp twice you'll get a nice variation in shading.  After I'd die cut everything, I just played around till I found the layout I decided to use.  Some parts use dimensionals and some don't to give the whole card some depth.  My best advice is to just play and isn't that the best part of card making.




This photo is not a complete card because I just wanted you to see that you can cut the flower right into the card base and choose the colour or even watercolour a background for behind it.

Butterfly Cards - Stampin' Up Butterflies Thinlits/Bold Butterfly Framelets

What could be more fun on a quiet Sunday than to make these three cards by creating watercolour backgrounds on watercolour paper, using inks from stamp pads and the aqua painters. Truly, it's just playing and it's so simple, fast and easy and really sets off the glimmery butterflies beautifully.

The Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack is from the Stampin' Up Sale-Bration Catalogue and was available free with a $60 purchase.  The availability ended on March 31/17.  But, the first person to place a minimum $60 order with me by May 10th/17, by clicking on any of the supplies below to be taken to my store,  will get a FREE pack of the Glimmer Paper Assortment from me.

Cupcakes & Carousels Stampin' Up! Stamp Set

I am absolutely in love with this stamp set!  Effective May 31/17, it is retiring so if you'd like to own it, move quickly.  Don't leave it till the last minute as it may sell out before then.  The Designer Series Paper Stack that goes with the stamp set is one of my favourite and it makes it so simple for you to create beautiful cards. How adorable is that carousel horse! And the colours are absolutely delicious!

Here are four cards that I've made using these stamps and paper.  If you love them too, click on the supplies below the cards and you'll be taken to my store to make your purchases.
