Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery & Brilliant Wings with Video Tutorial

Posted on February 19, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning and happy Friday! Only a few days left for Sale-A-Bration, y’all – so…if there are still some of the free goodies you’re wanting – now’s the time!

I’ve also got my Butterfly Bouquet Special Bundle – with some add-ons! – available for you to order. Check it out down below! 🙂

Speaking of Butterfly Bouquet, I’m a little obsessed with the Brilliant Wings die cut butterflies right now! If you were able to join me for my YouTube live yesterday, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me – and getting another peek at them! If not, here’s the replay!

For this one, I paired the Brilliant Wings butterflies with sentiments from the Art Gallery Bundle – including the cool die cut sentiment from Floral Gallery! – and a bit of Fine Art Floral DSP. Take a look-see:

The layout for this one – although it’s not a mini slim card – comes from the current Mojo Monday sketch challenge!

Here’s a cool thing. This particular design in the Fine Art Floral DSP is an exact match to the design in the Golden Garden Specialty Acetate! I’ve used that here to add a little pizzazz to this card! You can get 6 card fronts from a 12″ x 12″ sheet of both papers!!

I cut a piece of the Fine Art Floral and the corresponding piece of the Golden Garden Specialty Acetate, then I stacked them up (aligning the pattern) and cut the center out with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

I adhered the frame and cutout piece of the Fine Art Floral DSP to a Terracotta Tile mat using Liquid Glue. Then I adhered the acetate piece using my Fine Tip Glue Pen – putting little dots of glue only behind the printed parts of the acetate.

I cut a piece of Basic White with the largest square Stitched Shapes Die and popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Next, I cut the big sentiment from Floral Gallery in Terracotta Tile – then adhered just three of the words to the square with Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Terracotta Tile Scalloped Edge Linen Ribbon around the bottom of the panel, securing it in back with Glue Dots.

From a piece of the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP (coming on 2 March), I used the big die in the Brilliant Wings die set (also 2 March!) to cut 6 butterflies. I used a couple of smaller detailed dies to cut three Petal Pink butterflies and a single Terracotta Tile butterfly. I adhered the detailed Petal Pink die cuts to two of the DSP butterflies and the Terracotta Tile detailed cut with Liquid Glue.

Then I adhered the butterflies to the card front with Liquid Glue – and tucked a Stampin’ Dimensional under them as needed to support them!

Finally, I added a few Champagne Rhinestone Jewels and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped an Art Gallery sentiment in Terracotta Tile on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped the big flower (this is a three-step-image!) – the large image is Petal Pink then the second and third step images are stamped-off-once Terracotta Tile! 🙂

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Terracotta Tile mat and into my Petal Pink card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got more of the pretty Art Gallery flower on the front…

….and more of the Fine Art Floral DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! Yes – yes, I CAN figure out how to put a butterfly from the Butterfly Bouquet bundle on almost any card! 🙂 And they look awesome with the gorgeous and stunning Fine Art Floral DSP with some sentiments and images from the Art Gallery Bundle, don’t you think!?

Et Voila! I hope you like!

Finn Fan Fix

After getting off the treadmill in the morning, I’m a little sweaty. And a little pissy cuz…treadmill! Bleh.

And yesterday morning I was also just tired – hadn’t slept enough the night before.

So…it was a little (by which I mean a LOT!) envy-inducing to find…

Totally sacked out.

Treadmill schmedmill, says Finn. That’s just silly, Mom! 😂

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 11, 2021 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a color challenge to work with today and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I thought that the colors we had to choose from – we got five and were to pick at least 3! – would be a perfect opportunity to show off the pretty Tranquil Thoughts bundle. So..that’s what I did! Take a look-see:

And – here’s our challenge badge – you can see I picked Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight and Highland Heather.

And I borrowed some inspiration for the layout from the sketch challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches.

I started with a piece of Seaside Spray paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP that I matted on Highland Heather cardstock for the card front.

Next, I cut a smaller Basic White panel. Using my Blending Brushes, I first blended Seaside Spray ink around the edges – letting it come in to the center, but leaving it mostly open. Then I followed up with some Highland Heather blending.

In the middle of the panel, I stamped a Tranquil Thoughts sentiment in Highland Heather. Then I adhered the panel to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using the big die in the Tranquil Die set, I cut two of the cuts in Misty Moonlight. I stacked them together with Liquid Glue – then popped them over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: don’t be shy with the dimensionals – use them generously, and cut some little pieces to support the smaller leaves. 😉

I looped some Misty Moonlight/Silver twine (from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack) into a loose figure-8 and adhered it to the card front with Glue Dots.

I had a blue butterfly (squint yer eyes, I’m pretty sure it’s Misty Moonlight. And…some other color pretty darned close!!) in my bowl of dies cuts. This is cut from some of the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ DSP cut with the big die in the Brilliant Wings Dies. These are both coming on 2 March! He was just calling me – so…on he went with a little Liquid Glue.

I used my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush on the wings of the butterfly – and around the edges of the big die cut – like a shadow on the card front. Finally, I added some Opal Rounds and the card front was done!

On the inside, I used several of the leaves images in Tranquil Thoughts in Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray around the edges of a Basic White panel. Then I brushed Seaside Spray and Highland Heather around the panel with Blending Brushes.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Misty Moonlight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got more of the Tranquil Thoughts leaves on the front…

…and more of the Seaside Spray 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila! I know – you probably figured I’d use Rococo Rose and Old Olive with this set. But…I really like how it looks in these colors, don’t you? Tranquil Thoughts has some really pretty sentiments – love the fonts and the words! – and the die cuts in the bundled Tranquil Dies are wunnermus! The possibilities are endless with this bundle!!

I hope you like!
