Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set – Stampin’ Up!

Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set – Stampin’ Up!

Today’s greeting card features the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set – Stampin’ Up!(123759 – catalog item number – clear mount).  I love butterflies, so the Papillon Potpourri is one of my favorite stamp sets.

The card base is made with a piece of the new In-Color Strawberry Slush Card Stock.  Using VersaMark Ink (102283), I stamped a background stamp onto the card front.  It was  covered with White Embossing Powder  (109132 – catalog item number) and heat set. (I love any kind of embossing).

I think the butterflies in the above picture of the card appear to be hovering over the card with their shadow showing underneath.  I have to give the credit for the effect to my camera (lol).  Oh, wait….maybe it was the person behind the camera creating the effect.  Regardless, I think those wonderful Stampin’  Dimensionals (104430 – catalog item number) played a role as well!  Don’t you just love the 3-D effect on greeting cards?

Look closely at the layers on the card.  You also may want to look at the card front in the picture below.  It appears as though I cut out the pieces using a framelit from the Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003 – catalog item number).  Well, my framelit doesn’t have the two “bump outs” on it, does yours?

I did use the framelit from the Apothecary Accents, but I did not use it to cut out the paper that forms the layers.

How often do you start making a card with one intent and then the card ends up being completely different?  That’s what happened on my card.

I first stamped the butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set onto a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock.  I had planned to add some other elements to that piece of card stock, but then I wasn’t happy with it.

I wondered if I had a framelit that would fit around the butterflies, and if so, I would use that to cut out the piece.  Well, the framelits that I have are either too big or small.  As usual, I didn’t let that defeat me.  I wanted to use the Apothecary Accents framelit, so I decided to lay it around the butterflies and trace around the inside with a pencil.  I couldn’t trace across the two small butterflies, so I decided to go around them.  I “fussy cut” out the framelit, which resulted in the two bump outs.  You needed to know all of this, right?

I then traced the outside of the framelit onto a piece of Strawberry Slush Card Stock, allowing for the bump outs.  As for the bottom layer that is the Pool Party design from the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper (130141), I free-handed it.

Notice the little flowers at the top right and bottom left of the Whisper White Card Stock.  They are from a stamp in the Hostess Morning Meadow Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed the card and my rambling.  You can leave a comment by clicking on the “chat bubble” at the right of the post’s title.  I love to get comments!

Soho Subway Designer Series PaperThe new Stampin’ Up! Soho Subway Designer Series Paper  (DSP)  (130140) is featured on this Happy Birthday card. 

Soho Subway Designer Series Paper

The design used on the card is my favorite of the designs within the DSP.  The colors for the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper are Crisp Cantaloupe (a new color), Early Express, Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, and Very Vanilla.

The card base is a piece of the new Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock (In Color – 131298), and the second layer is a piece of the new Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock (In Color – 131296).  The third layer is the Subway Designer Series Paper design.

I made this card for a very special friend, Lin, for her recent birthday.  The sentiment, “Happy Birthday to you!” is from the new Label Love Stamp Set (130622 – clear).  Label Love Stamp SetThis stamp set matches a new punch, the Artisan Label (130920).

The top portion of the card spotlights a butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set (123759 – clear).  You will note that the butterfly is two different ink colors; Crisp Papillon Potpourri Clear-Mount Stamp SetCantaloupe Classic Ink (a new In Color – 131176) and Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink (another new In Color -131174).  I used the Rock and Roll Technique with the stamp image before stamping it onto Very Vanilla Card Stock.

The mats for the image were made with the Window Frames Collection Framelits (129021), using the Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock and the design from the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper.  This picture is a closeup of the butterfly and mats.

As stated above, the sentiment is from the Label Love stamp set.  It is matted with Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock.  The bow that rests above the sentiment is an old Stampin’ Up! ribbon that matches perfectly with the Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock.  It is the old Groovy Guava Double Stitched Ribbon.   This picture is a closeup of the ribbon and sentiment.
