We began the creation using one of of the new Core colors, Lemon Lolly. It's a bright crisp yellow that definitely filled an opening in the Stampin'Up! rainbow of colors.

We layered the leafy bar and the daffodil bar of flowers near the bottom of the front layer.  The bars are simply ingenious ways to position the die cuts in fun and quick layers as we've done here with our spruce leaves and the Lemon Lolly daffodils.

We've topped that off by winding the Lemon Lolly sheer silver-edged ribbon around the top layer and tied a sweet bow.

The background of the white layer is embossed with the crosshatch embossing folder that is one of the 3 folders in the Basic 3D embossng folders--one of the Online Exclusive products.

We've topped off all this loveliness with three brushed brass butterflies that are just the right size for our images.

Stop back by next week to see what stamp set we are featuring then!

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Today we're Creating a Birthday Card Using Stampin'Up! Bright & Beautiful Notecards & Envelooes. Tuesday we created a cute Get Better Soon card with these...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card

Today we're using the second preprinted design fro the B&B Notecards...this one blends the new colors: Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twst and Azure Afternoon. You may have noticed that these colors also predominate in the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper...this creates a collection of products making it super easy to design a card.

Here's todays card...

Brithday

and a bit closer

Brithday cu

Since the background is already so colorful we just began the decorating and embellishments right away.

We cut 2 medium balloons (Beautiful Balloons dies) --one from the designer paper we used on Tuesday and one from Azure cardstock.  A small balloon was die cut from the Berry Burst Soft Shimmer paper...all the balloons were attached to the card front with dimensionals to make them pop up.

We cut two arrays of stars (Wanted to Say dies) from Berry Burst and Granny Apple Green to accentuate the coordinating colors already in the card base and die cuts.

Now here's the super fun part--we die cut the Happy Birthday script from More Dazzle and let me tell you--it doesn't sparkle in the photo but just wait until you see it live and the sparkle is totally awesome!

And the card needed nothing more!

I'll give you step by step directions for today's card below followed by the supply list.

Feel better cu

We added a layer of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper which complements the color in the notecard we selelcted.

Then we grabbed that bold and fun die set--Wanted to Say. It has all the frequently used greetings..and we chose Feel Better Soon--when you need a Get Well Card you usually need it quickly.  To make the Lemon Lolly script pop--we used an underlayer of Night of Navy---not only does it provide great contrast but it also makes the script "pop up."

Using a couple of star dies from the Beautiful Balloons dies we tucked them in beside the script to provide a bit more interest and pizzazz.

Stop by Thursday and see what else we created with these notecards.

Creating Another Stunning Card with the New Stampin'Up! Softly Sketched Stamp Set

Today we're Creating Another Stunning Card with the New Stampin'Up! Softly Sketched Stamp Set. Tuesday we created a little black and white cutie...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

Although black and white is quite a striking combo especially with this type of stamp we decided to try out a lovely soft color base to support the image we chose today from the Softly Sketched set. Here's today's card...

Cabanaand a bit closer look...

Cabana cu

As you can see we remained steadfast in using our Stazon black ink. When I have an image that I really want to stand out in "blackness" or has a large surface area...I tend to use the Stazon Jet Black. I find that this ink does a superb job of coverage and appears to be a deep dark black.  However, if you are using the Blends alcohol markers you will be using the Memento Tuxedo black ink to pair with the alcohol in the Blends.

I gravitated back to the crosshatch embossng folder--again, so it would remain in the background but yet add sufficient interest to the card front that it doesn't become boring.

We increased the layers under the image--it's a fun way to highlight an image that really takes minimal time and has a dramatic effect.  

Instead of using the matte black dots as we did Tuesday we used a bit of sparkle by adding he Basic Jewel Rhinestones...which add just a bit of glam to the entire image.

Stop back by next week to see our next project.
