TSSC 355 - Butterfly Basics

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Butterfly Basics, which is in the Occasions Catalog. There are coordinating framelits, which are available with the stamp set as a bundle. Although the framelits are really cool, I didn't use them on this card because the stamp I chose matches the Bitty Butterfly punch.
 
Supplies:
Stamps: Butterfly Basics
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi
Punches: Bitty Butterfly, Scallop Tag Topper
Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing Folder

Here's this week's sketch. Use it to inspire you!

What really makes this set is that there are sayings that are appropriate for each image. In fact, that's what sold me on this set. Here's the inside of the card:

SAB Products of the Week

I shared in a previous post about the Stampin' Up! blog feature Sale-a-Bration (SAB) product of the week. They are great for getting a feel for the products available for free during SAB. Funny thing, though - I've noticed they are coming out more often than weekly.

I'm sharing one project each from 3 different posts.  The product name is a link so you can go to the respective blog post and see all of the other great ideas there.

Love Cards

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd share a couple of love cards. The stamps are from the photopolymer set, Countless Sayings 1. Don't look for the set in your catalog, though. It's only available online, while supplies last. The washi tape is retired, but Beach House has a roll of Real Red washi tape which would look cute.



I entered these cards in the Late Night Stampers February Challenge. The theme is Valentines/Hearts/Love.

SAB Product of the Week - Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP

Get this beautiful Specialty DSP FREE with $50 purchase (before shipping and tax) through March 31, 2015! Shop here. Current Hostess Code: JKWWAVAW
Last week at Stamp Club I showed the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP. I think the white on white is beautiful for elegant projects, like wedding cards or favors. Then I tried to explain how you could color the DSP and when you wipe off the ink, the glossy parts are white again. My explanation wasn't very clear, so I was thrilled when I saw this post on the Stampin' Up! blog:

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week-Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper

So without further adieu, we want to introduce you to this week’s Sale-A-Bration product of the week—the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper.
