Today's project is from Sunday's shoebox swap that my upline hosted for her team. I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately a few people were unable to make it last minute but the 3 of us had a good time! Lisa provided dinner and then we made our projects. I will share the other projects later this week!

Whenever I am stuck on a project for ideas, my go to place for inspiration is Pinterest. The theme for the shoebox swap was to use products from the Occasions and/or Sale-A-Bration catalogues.

To create the butterflies I stamped them on Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink then used a sponge dauber to put Smokey Slate ink around the end of each butterfly wing and then Daffodil Delight in the center. The stamp set is designed perfectly as the large and small butterfly are attached together as one stamp and then the Butterfly Duet punch lines up with both butterflies to punch them out. You can purchase this bundle and save 10%!

Supplies
Stamps: Butterfly Gala
Colours: Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Smokey Slate
Accessories: Butterfly Duet Punch, Tin Tile Textured Embossing Folder, Pearlized Doilies, Silver Pearls, Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration items)

Botancial Butterflies

December 18, 2018

Wanted to share a non Christmas project with you today. I love this simple card. The Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper has the butterflies ready for you to punch out. This paper will be available starting January 3rd.

I recommend quickly cutting around each butterfly before punching so that you don't punch others one as well. This will make your paper go further. It is hard to see in the pictures but the Whisper White strip was sponged with White Shimmer Paint to give it a pearlized look.


Supplies
Stamps: Butterfly Gala
Colours: Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper, Tailored Tag Punch, Butterfly Duo Punch, Pearls, White Shimmer Paint, Stampin' Dimensionals

Butterfly Gala Card

November 29, 2018 in , ,

At the crop last Saturday I used new product from both the 2019 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogues. You can start purchasing and earning rewards from these catalogues starting January 3rd. I was able to make 5 cards at the crop, it doesn't sound like much but between gabbing, colouring with the Blends (so relaxing) and other stuff I thought I did really well! You will see the other cards later this month.

I decided the card needed to use colours from the Brights colour family since it was for my niece's birthday. Thankfully I had lots of cardstock with me to make the choice easier since my first plan to use Gorgeous Grape didn't work with how the designer series paper was coloured in with Stampin' Blends. The new Botanical Butterfly designer series paper is in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue and can be earned with a $60 purchase. One side of this pretty paper is coloured images and the other is black and white (perfect to add your own splash of colour!).

Supplies
Stamps: Butterfly Gala
Colours: Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Stampin' Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Tailored Tag Punch, Butterfly Duo Punch

Welcome to our November blog hop with Global Stamping Friends! Our theme this month is circles. My card has a few circles on it, I used the Layering Circles Framelits and the Tin Tile Embossing Folder that has circle patterns. And because it's November with Remembrance Day coming I choose Poppy Parade for my flowers.


Next week is Stampin' Up!'s Onstage in Orlando, Florida! I'm so excited and almost all packed, my swaps are done and so looking forward to seeing almost 7,000 other demonstrators from around the world! Even better is that I will get to meet a few others that participate in this blog hop while at Onstage! If you would like to see pictures and updates from Onstage you can follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp and Instagram: www.instagram.com/FromWhereIStamp
