Butterfly Brilliance

Butterfly Brilliance was retired in April. This is a beautifully detailed stamp set with a wonderful set of coordinating dies. I actually created these cards before the set retired. I'm just behind in sharing my creations. 

These 3 cards are all very similar. I started by stamping the large stamp with Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock.

Oceanfront

Goodness, I have been missing in action again. I just can't seem to figure out a schedule that will work for me to create, take pictures, edit pictures, upload pictures, and write out the posts. I will try again and pray that I get it figured out soon. Thanks for staying with me. I do have LOTS of projects to share with you. 

I will start with some Oceanfront cards. This set was released in a mini catalog and I just loved it. But like many set, I order them and then they sit and wait for me to get around to using them. Finally Oceanfront found it's way onto my stamping table. 

Lost Lagoon was a color that Stampin' Up! introduced several years ago. When they did the last color refresh I was surprised that Lost Lagoon was not part of it. Then I was surprised again when it came back with this color refresh. Clearly I don't know how Stampin' Up! thinks and works. Well, Lost Lagoon is the card base here. I also used Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

A Fish and a Wish

A Fish & A Wish was not around the Stampin' Up! world for long but it made a splash! Ha! Did you get. my joke? Yep, it was a bad one but I'm good with that.

I used the stamp set called Watercolor Shapes to add the bubbles to the background on and on the main image. The seaweed was stamped a couple of times so that it felt full and abundant. I like the ribbon around the top of the main image but it is not needed.

Sweet Songbirds Scrapbook Pages

The Sweet Songbirds really are a sweet set of images with a coordinating punch. I admit to purchasing this stamp set a while ago and not really creating with it yet. It will be on my desk very soon. Watch for more fun projects with this set to come.

On the Farm

This was a class at home set of cards. On the Farm is an adorable set that has now retired. This was a class from a couple of months ago. These cards were fun to create.
