Retiring products continue to sell out and many more are showing as only limited supply. So today I decided to start a slightly different series where I highlight a retiring product through previous projects. Today I'm starting with the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set which is likely to sell out soon. First, here's a fun gift tag featuring the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch. For more details of this project see my blog post Fighting butterflies. Next I ... VIEW POST
Bringing Back Butterfly Gala
It seems ages since I last made something using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set. I suppose I have been a little distracted by the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, but that's really no excuse. Today I saw this week's Just Add Ink and Global Design Project challenges and Butterfly Gala immediately flew to mind. So I simply sat down and started to create. OPEN SPACE I wanted the butterfly panel to be the focal point so opted for a very plain background. I began with a card base of Thick ... VIEW POST
Fairy Celebration And Butterfly Wings
This week the What Will You Stamp? Challenge is #WWYS218 - Butterfly Gala. This is a really lovely set that's being carried over into the new Stampin' Up! 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue. Butterflies are so pretty and I can't wait to see them now that the warmer weather has finally arrived. I've no doubt you'll see lots of butterflies from the rest of the WWYS Design Team so as usual I opted for something a little different. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to ink up Fairy Celebration one last ... VIEW POST
Bride & Groom Gift
I think I'm in love with the Well Written Dies. They're the ones with lots of different words that coordinate with the Well Said Stamp Set. One of the best things about these dies is that they come out of the dies really easily. What's more, unlike some other words dies I've seen, these ones are totally readable. In fact I've been playing with this set and now have a stack of words just waiting for attention. So I picked up bride & groom, and set to work. PRETTY INSIDE AND ... VIEW POST
Butterfly Duet Punch Is Back
I love butterflies and was so disappointed when the Butterfly Duet Punch went out of stock. I'm happy to report that it's now available again, as is the Butterfly Gala bundle (more about that later). So this morning I couldn't resist pulling out the stamp set and punch to make a colourful birthday card. HAPPY BIRTHDAY This card was actually a happy accident as I found ready-made pieces that seemed to really go together. First up, in the case with my Happy Birthday Thinlit I found ... VIEW POST
Fighting Butterflies
I'm having one of those days and it's only just past 8am. I was trying to decide what to make and had in mind a feminine gift tag. The problem was that I've been a little fixated on the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set just recently. As well as making a variety of projects for my blog I've also been working on an article for Inspiration Canada. This is a monthly newsletter that's sent out to every Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I've been part of the writing team for almost 5 years. Anyway, in the ... VIEW POST
