PP426 Happy Birthday Butterfly!




I needed more birthday cards in my stash
plus I have wanted to die cut the beautiful Butterfly Beauty
dies....so I combined them for this great sketch today over at 
thepaperplayer.blogspot.com 
I cut the dies in white and layered the two images together
to make the butterfly. I was planning to sponge some color but loved
the all white look. I added a Melon Mambo circle under along with the 
white doily.  I laid those on the Garden Impressions DSP background with pink shades
plus more Mambo card stock before placing on the white base.
I stamped the sentiment from Very Vintage host set 
in Mambo ink on the white banner and finished it 
off with the pearls.

Hope you can play along and 
thanks for stopping by!

Love The InKing Royalty Blop Hop


I am so excited and blessed to be a guest hopper today with this wonderful group!
I am friends with many InKing Royalty members and I know 
they have some awesome projects in store for you on this love hop!

 Welcome to InKing Royalty's January Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word - and this month our projects are centered around LOVE. You're certain to see some amazing ideas for Valentine's Day in the hop, but there are other ways to honor love in the lineup, too. What fun! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.



As soon as I saw the theme for the hop today, I knew 
I wanted to make the card I had designed in my head
with this lovely sentiment!
Yes, it had to be purple!
I started with the white base and added the wonderful 
Gingham Gala DSP in Highland Heather before layering another white
piece of card stock ran through the big shot with the Tufted embossing folder.
I then stamped the three flowers from the Forever Lovely set in Highland Heather
ink on white along with four leaves and cut them with the matching dies
called Lovely Flowers edgelits dies.
I also cut two of the detailed florals from white card stock and added
my flowers/leaves on them. Underneath, I used the sheer ribbon in Heather.
The sentiment from the same set was stamped on white in Heather ink. 
I finished it up with a few pearls on the flowers!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
Windy

    FMS372 Love You Wonderful Floral




    As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I would 
    cut and use the detailed leaves dies on the left 
    which I cut in Fresh Fig. I added it to the layers of a white card
    base and I piece of Pear Pizzazz along with the large strip of 
    Floral Romance specialty paper.
    I then cut the stitched die in white and stamped the
    sentiment from Forever Lovely in Fresh Fig ink.
    I then stamped the large flower/leaf bunch image from 
    Wonderful Romance on white card stock 
    in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it with the 
    matching die from the Wonderful Floral dies. 
     I colored it with my Stampin Blends markers in the light shades
     of Old Olive and Balckberry Bliss.
    I added the Fresh Fig 1/8" ribbon in a bow the 
    my flowers/leaf bunch.

    SAB promo going on now when you 
    spend 50.00 in product you can choose this

    my cupcake bottom in Soft Suede and the top in

    Happy Valentine's Day!


    This is my Valentine's Day card for my classes next week. 
    I made 4 different ones and then came back to
    this first one I made. I wanted to use too many elements from 
    these wonderful dies. I started with a white base and then 
    cut a piece of Lovely Lipstick and used the scallop stitched 
    edgelit die from the Be Mine Stitched thinlits dies.
    I added a layered of white and then some beautiful 
    All My Love DSP for the background.
    I cut the string of heart from Lovely Lipstick card stock
    and added a big stitched Flirty Flamingo 
    heart. I then cut from white and Balmy Blue the 
    scalloped stitched hearts.  I only used the outline in blue
    and stamped on my white heart in Lovely Lipstick ink
    with a sentiment from Meant To Be stamp set.

    Hope you have a beautiful day 
    and thanks for stopping by!

    CTS306 Dream



    So excited to be a guest designer over at Casethissketch.blogspot.com
    this week and get to design a card with my friend 
    Brian King's sketch, too!  Lucky me! 
    I love this Let It Ride stamp set and 
    love coloring the horse! I stamped the horse 
    image on Whisper White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 
    I used the Stampin Blends in Bronze, 
    Soft Suede, Ivory, Call Me Clover, and Pool Party
    plus I used the color lifter.
    I layered the image on a piece of Soft Suede. 
    For the background, I layered 
    the Call Me Clover DSP in a dot print and a 
    strip of Soft Suede card stock on top of a 
    thick Whisper White base.
    I cut the dream die twice- once in 
    Whisper White card stock and once in Pool Party.
    I layered them together just a bit offset. 

    Hope you can come over and play along this week!

    Thinking Of Wonderful Romance



    I did a little casing of Amy K over at 
    for my third card for card classes next week.
    This could be a birthday, wedding, Valentine's, sympathy,
    etc. card with these soft hues.  I like having a card like this in 
    class where my guest can stamp a variety of sentiments
    to fit what they need.

    I started with the Petal Pink base and layered a piece of
    Whisper White ran through the Big Shot with a new embossing 
    folder called Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions 
    embossing folder.  I love the details in the design.
    I then stamped the large floral image on white in Memento Tuxedo Black 
    and colored it with the Stampin Blends markers 
    in Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and light Soft Suede.
     I then cut it  with the matching die and popped it up.
    I stamped the sentiment in same ink and cut it with the oval 
    stitched die in the Wonderful Floral framelits dies.
    Last touch with the make a cut bow with the pretty
    Petal Pink and White variegated ribbon and then a few tiny pearls
    on the flowers.

    Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for 
    stopping by!

    Hello Beautiful Butterfly!


    This is my second card for card classes next week.
    Love the Butterfly Gala bundle- a great 
    stamp set and a matching punch that cuts both 
    of these butterflies out at once!
    I stamped the butterflies on a piece of white in 
    Memento Tuxedo Black and 
    colored them with my Stampin Blends in
    Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight colors.
    I used the Butterfly Duet punch and then layered the 
    large one on a white stitched circle from Stitched Labels dies.
    I added a Heather circle behind.
    I have a Heather base and then a layer of Daffodil 
    then a piece of white card stock cut with the 
    Stitched Rectangles framelits dies.
    I layered a piece of the free Botanical Butterfly DSP
    at the bottom and stamped the sentiment in 
    Highland Heather. I finished it off with a strip of the free
    sheer ribbon in Heather across.
    Loving the purple and yellow together.

    PP424 Good Things




    More butterflies---always a good thing!
    I do not know why the Pool Party ink looks so 
    light for the photo..it looks normal in real life!
    I stamped the butterflies from Butterfly Gala
    in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock.
    I also stamped the sentiment from the same set 
    in Black then I used the three colors to add color 
    to my butterflies. I inked up the "bubbles" from the 
    Beauty Abounds set and stamped over the images.
    I layered the White on a piece of Basic Black (my other color)
    and then added some Gingham Gala DSP in Grapefruit Grove
    behind before adding on the white base.
    I finished it off with some sequins.

    Very fresh and clean/simple today!

    FabFri154 Waterfront Thanks



    Love the Waterfront stamp set...perfect for most colors!
    I grabbed it and thought I could make a scene with this color combo!
    I like how it turned out.
    I started with the Highland Heather for the mountains
     and the thanks at the top. 
    I used Tranquil Tide for the dark trees and then Pear Pizzazz
    for the others. I stamped both Mint Macaron and Lemon for the water
    and then more Lemon for the texture. I then thought the thanks was too light 
    and stamped over it with Tranquil Tide and it now looks blurry but cool.
    I layered the Very Vanilla square on a Mint Macaron square and then 
    added it some Lemon Lime Twist sheer ribbon I got free with 
    the SAB promo going on now through March 31st with Stampin' Up!
    When you spend 50.00 or more you can receive this or several 
    other items you can choose from for free.
    The back ground paper is from Tranquil Textures DSP

    CTS304 Amazing Beauty Abounds



    This set was staring at me as I was starting this sketch challenge.
    A new set called Beauty Abounds and yes more butterflies!
    I stamped the long floral stems twice in Memento Tuxedo Black
    and then colored them with my Stampin Blends markers
    in Mint Macaron and Petal Pink.
    I stamped the sentiment on the bottom in Lovely Lipstick
    and mounted the white background on a piece of 
    Lovely Lipstick card stock for the base.
    I then stamped several butterflies in Memento
    on white card stock,  colored them with the
    Stampin Blends in Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink
    then used the matching die to cut out and pop on 
    my stems!
    Really a clean and simple card.

    Petal Palette Wedding Card




    Last wedding card for the week!
    I might make one wedding card a year so this was a challenge for me!
    I used the lovely Petal Palette set and matching dies for this card.
    I have been hoarding this DSP since last spring and thought it 
    would come in handy sometime. 
    This retired paper is called Bundle of Love specialty DSP
    and has Very Vanilla and gold running through it.
    I layered it on a Very Vanilla base and then added 
    another piece of this paper in blue across the front.
    I stamped the roses in Memento Tuxedo Black 
    on Very Vanilla then cut with matching 
    die after I colored them with the Pool Party and 
    Old Olive stampin blends markers. 
    I cut more leaves and filter with Vanilla and gold foil
    with the matching dies called Petals & More.
    The sentiment is stamped in black on Vanilla it 
    along with the sentiments inside are from a very old retired set 
    called From This Day Forward. I have kept this set for 
    wedding card and sentiments.

    Hope you enjoyed my 4 days of wedding cards
    and come back later for non wedding cards! Haha

    Petal Promenade Wedding Card




    Yes, another wedding card for today!
    I used the beautiful Petal Promenade DSP on the front 
    and most of the work is done! I layered another print behind
    and then some Mossy Meadow card stock before adding on the 
    Very Vanilla base.
    I added the sentiment in Fresh Fig ink and then wrapped some 
    1/2" Verry Vanilla lace trim around.
    I stamped the flowers from the same set called 
    Beautiful Promenade in Mossy Meadow and cut 
    with matching die called Beautiful Layers.
    I stamped the flowers again in Fresh Fig and cut just the flowers by hand
    then layered them on the Mossy ones.
    Inside I added more DSP and a little trim in Fresh Fig along with the 
    sentiment stamped in Fig.

    I hope you have a wonderful day 
    and thanks for stopping by!
    Last wedding card tomorrow-come back over!

    First Frost For A Wedding Card




    Of course, First Frost makes a wonderful and beautiful wedding card!
    I grabbed the designer paper and picked the beautiful print that shimmers!
    It is a soft Mint Macaron and I used that color along with Blackberry
    Bliss and Tranquil Tide.
    I cut leaves and filter from the Frosted Bouquet dies
     in both Tide and Macaron card stock.
    I stamped the roses in Bliss and cut them with the matching dies. 
    I added the Tranquil Tide velvet ribbon which is now retired.
    I stamped the sentiment in Bliss on White and cut it out with the 
    label die in the set and with a layer behind in Bliss.
    The long stem of flower and leaf on the front I 
    used my markers in Tide and Bliss to color then stamp then
    cut with the matching die.

    I thought it made a beautiful card especially for this season.
    Thanks for stopping by and if you like wedding cards- I have 
    another for you tomorrow so come back.

    Meant To Be Wedding Card





    This is day one of 4 wedding cards I designed 
    for a friend last week. I combined on this one the 
    new bundle called Meant to Be in the new Occasions 
    catalog that started last week plus an old set for the inside called 
    So In Love which is now retired.
    I also used an embellishment kit from last spring 
    called Cake Soiree. 
    Love the new paper and its colors called All My Love DSP.
    On the front I used this new DSP along with Flirty Flamingo
    card stock for the base and Lovely Lipstick across the front.
    I cut a piece of Whisper White and used a die from 
    Lovely Flowers to cut the corners
    after stamping the sentiment in Lipstick.
    The flowers and vellum leaves are from the Cake Soiree kit. 
    I added a white die cut rose behind from the Be Mine Stitched dies.
    I finished the front off by adding a little 
    All My Love ribbon in Flirty Flamingo in 1/8". 

    Inside I used the vellum from the kit
    which I colored with my Stampin Blends markers
    in Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick and Old Olive.

    Thanks for stopping by 
    and check out another wedding card tomorrow.

    on Whisper White and cut it along with a Call Me Clover rect die.
    I layered lots of the Animal Expedition DSP together all on a 
    Call Me Clover base. Simple but it has several cute critters

    FF0024 Balmy Blue Butterflies




    When I saw the blue in this challenge over at 
    festivefridaychallenge.com I thought it was a another 
    great chance to play with the Gingham Gala DSP
    and my lovely Butterfly Gala bundle. 
    I added a piece of Balmy Blur card stock to the 
    white base and then stamped the sentiment in Memento
    Tuxedo Black ink.
    I cut the DSP 2" by 5 1/2" and added a white doily
    before layering the Balmy circle and white cut out circle
    on top.  I stamped the butterflies on white in Memento
    then punch it out with the matching Butterfly Duet punch.
    I colored both of the butterflies with my Balmy Blue marker.
    I like how it turned out with this classic sketch.  
    Thanks for stopping by and go play along
     with the challenge this weekend!

    Lovely Flowers


    Playing around with the new bundle called Forever Lovely.
    I needed to do it in purple- well wanted to do it in purple! 
    My fav color!
    I stamped the flowers in Highland Heather and the stems 
    in Granny Apple Green. I added the hearts and sentiment in 
    Gorgeous Grape.
    I cut the corners with die set called Lovely Flowers and layered the 
    Very Vanilla background on a piece of Gorgeous Grape for the base.
    I pooped up a flower and the sentiment also in Vanilla.
    I added the sweet Gorgeous Grape 1/4" mini stripe ribbon to 
    finish it off.
    Thanks for stopping by!
