Wings and Sequins

It seems I am making more cards lately that don't have sentiments and today's sample is another of those.  My Watercolor Wings stamp set was collecting dust on the shelves so I decided to make a few cards with it and after playing around with a few color combinations, this is what I decided to stick with.

The ink colors are Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Peekaboo Peach, Wild Wasabi and Rich Razzleberry and I decided to add some Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins for some accents.

Supplies:

Watercolor Wings

Wild Wasabi, Rich Razzleberry, Peekaboo Peach, Berry Blast, Powder Pink ink

Whisper White, Powder Pink, So Saffron card stock

Tutti-Fruitti adhesive backed sequins

Just for You

I love the designs in the Foil Frenzy specialty paper package and decided to use some in the background on this card.  In addition, I thought I would add some embossing with the Perfect polka dots folder on another piece of card stock behind the stamped images.

The Stampin' Blends once again came out to color in the pen images and my sentiment is from the Watercolor Wings stamp set.

Supplies:

Crafting Forever, Watercolor Wings

Memento Black ink

Stampin' Blends

Foil Frenzy specialty paper

Old Olive, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight card stock

Sugarplum Butterfly

I wanted to pair the butterflies in the Falling in Love designer series paper with the butterflies in the Watercolor Wings stamp set and chose to do it with the Custom Tee stamp set and matching T-shirt framelits. 

I added some Sweet Sugarplum glimmer paper from the Sale-a-bration glimmer paper packet and some kraft rope trim that I unraveled. 

Supplies:

Tin of cards, Watercolor Wings, Custom Tee

Sweet Sugarplum, Tip Top Taupe ink

Very Vanilla, Soft Suede card stock

You are So Kind

 

Another single layer card share today using the Watercolor Wings stamp set.  

 

I chose to use Sahara Sand, Hello Honey, and Lost Lagoon inks on the butterfly layers and then I sponged some Soft Sky all around them.  The sponging is difficult to see in the pictures since it is pretty light.

The Little Moments

 

I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with this pattern from the designer series paper pack called Timeless Elegance one day and I made this card using the Watercolor Wings stamp set.

 

My butterfly is stamped with Bermuda Bay, Basic Gray and Basic Black ink and I added some Venetian crochet trim ribbon to complete the card.

August Stamp Club Projects

 

Where does the time go?  Time to share stamp club projects again!  This month I chose to focus on the Farmers Market designer series paper and the colors that coordinate for the layout.

 

The first card shown uses Watercolor Wishes and Big on You (which was in the occasions catalog) but for our club I actually used the Hello Life stamp set sentiment.

 

The second card focuses on the Color Me Irresistible specialty paper and Serene Silhouettes.  The sentiment is from the Watercolor Wishes card kit stamp set.

 

Again, the layout...

 

We always have room if these project look like fun - both in person and virtually, the Stamp Clubs are a blast.  Let me know if you are interested in joining us!

 

Just for You

 

I really love using the crochet trim ribbons on projects and it is really easy to work with which is nice as well.  I chose to add some swirls from the Snuggles and Smooches stamp set to the Pool Party layer of this card and then added some of the Venetian crochet trim ribbon and linen thread over the top of it.  

 

The butterfly is three layers on top of one another stamped using the Watercolor Wings stamp set and the colors Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Tip Top Taupe.  I added a few basic pearls for some dimension as well.

 

Supplies:

Watercolor Wings, Snuggles and Smooches

Tip Top Taupe, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon ink

Very Vanilla, Pool Party card stock

Venetian crochet trim ribbon

Linen thread

Basic pearls

 

Cups and Cups

 

I had an order for some tags for gifts or gift baskets and I knew they wanted little coffee cups that I have made for them before, but they also asked for some tea cups.  I found a template online and cut out a few using some fun designer series paper and then did a little decorating.

 

On the coffee cups, I used the Bohemian Borders and Watercolor Wings stamp sets...

 

I just cut out the diamond shaped image with a paper snips on the tag above...

 

I chose some Sweet Lil' Things dsp for the card above and added some Venetian trim ribbon and an In Color 2015-2017 blossom accent.

 

The last cup is made using retired designer series paper and like the one above, I used a sentiment from Num Num and punched it out with the scallop oval punch.

 

Supplies:

Num Num, Watercolor Wings, Bohemian Borders

Tip Top Taupe Watermelon Wonder ink

Pool Party, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Tip Top Taupe, Delightful Dijon card stock

corner punch

scallop circle punch

basic pearls

Venetian trim ribbon

silver baker's twine

linen thread

modern label punch

 

Little Moments

 

After playing around with the Watercolor Wings stamp set, I think I may "need" to get the Bold Butterflies framelits too since I really don't like cutting out images! 

 



 

I layered two butterflies over the Watercolor Wash stamped image.  You can see I decided to break up that image with a few of the other ones in the Watercolor Wings set as well. 

 

 

For the sentiment I just shortened the Decorative Label punch by cutting off one side.

 

Supplies:

Watercolor Wings, Watercolor Wash

Mint Macaron, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Lost Lagoon ink

Pool Party, Whisper White card stock
