Butterfly Gala Stamp set with Butterfly Duet Punch and Flowers for Every Season DSP

Hello Creative Community! 

Are you dreaming of summer? This cold has me thinking of when we will see the butterflies again! The Butterfly Gala stamp set allows you to create so many different, beautiful butterfly images. Additionally there is a coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch which allows you to pop them on your card using dimensionals. I also used the versatile Flowers for Every Season designer series paper in all of the cards. This paper includes 4 each of 12 double-sided designs that highlight the 20-22 in colors, but can be used easily with SU standard colors as well. 

This first card was so fun to make. It was part of a Stamping with the STARS sketch challenge, which has become one of my favorite card designs to create. 

This next card was made for a friend who was having a challenging time. I had several left over butterfly punched designs in my stash so it was quick and easy to put together. I added some layers of paper, popped the butterflies and added the sentiment. The card brightened her day when she received it!

These last two cards show how adding the small butterfly (plain or stamped) to any design creates a sweet touch to the card. It coordinates well with the Lovely You stamp set which I used to make a DIT background paper. The Flowers for Every Season designer series paper was also added in both cards. I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch to create the layered the sentiment in the yellow card. 

Following are many of the products used in making these cards.  If you have any questions on the product list or how the design of these card samples, feel free to contact me.

Lovely You Stamp Set + Lovely Labels Pick A Punch Bundle

 

Hello Lovely Crafters! 

I made several projects some using the Lovely You stamp set + Lovely Labels Pick A Punch Bundle for a customer event. The Lovely Labels Pick A Punch works so well with many stamp sets and allows you to pick 2 types of label designs and 3 different widths of each allowing for coordinated layering. Sherry Roth, a Canadian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator created the below tip sheet when using the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch that gives you ideas on how to create the layering. You can head to her site to see the video as well.

I created a notecard holder and designed notecards (5" x 3 1/2") to go into the holder. Below are the dimensions of the notecard holder. Use any sort of hole punch to insert your ribbon. 

I then selected a variety of colors to use on different images from the Lovely You Stamp and randomly stamped them onto Basic White card stock to create my own designer paper. This paper was cut into 4 1/2" x 3" and adhered to 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" card stock from a variety of colors, which was then adhered to the note card. 

I then created 3/4" labels using Basic White card stock and the Lovely Label Pick A Punch. The sentiment was stamped in ink matching the same cardstock layer. That same cardstock color was then used to add a 1" layer using then same pick a punch label design. I then added a bow using the Braided Linen Trim. Approximately 4 cards and their envelopes fit into the holder. 

Using the same DIY designer card stock, decorate the front of the card holder and tie with a ribbon. These card sets work great for gifts to teachers, thank you gifts, etc. It's always nice to have cards on hand to send someone a note to cheer them up. 

 

This next card reminds me of a window flower box. It also shows the versatility of how this stamp set can be used with a variety of colors to create beautiful, happy images. Stitched So Sweetly Dies were used to create the layer of rectangle boxes. 

This next card was a CASE (copy and share everything) from Akemi Geary. It was so beautiful I had to try it for myself. The beautiful white floral effect is created using White Embossing powder. So simply, yet so elegant! 

Last but not least I created a slimline card using the Stampin' Up! beautiful purple colors. I just used one image and the layer of squares were made with the Stitched Shaped Dies.  

I hope you enjoy my display of  the projects I made using this bundle. I have other cards I've made using the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch and the beautiful message sentiments that you'll see in future blogs as well. Below is a partial list of some of the products used in making these projects. Click on a photo and it will take you to my store. Happy creating!
