Butterfly Basics

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Hello there, 
today I want to share with you a very simple card  that I created using the the "Brick Wall" Embossing Folder and the "Watercolor Wash" Stamp Set.
I have seen different variations using this type of technique and thought it would be fun to try with the ferns in the Butterfly Basics stamp set.


This card was a big hit at my last card class as everyone seemed to like it.  They were surprised how easy it is to create.  

I like it's simplicity and how it can be used for a variety of needs.

Instructions:

You stamp the ferns with Always Artichoke onto Sahara Sand first and then embossed it with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. Next you ink up the Watercolor Wash Background Stamp with Crumb Cake ink and stamp it over the embossed Sahara Sand Cardstock.  It's that simple, but it looks much harder.  I stamped the "Think of You" with Always Artichoke on a piece of 1/2" wide Sahara Sand and fish tailed the one end and attached it with dimensionals.  I also added Very Vanilla cardstock on the inside and stamped with a couple of ferns. (sorry, forgot to take a picture)

Products used:
Stamp Set:  Butterfly Basics, Watercolor Wash, Colorful Seasons 
Ink:  Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake
Cardstock:  Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand
Accessories:  Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Carols of Christmas

Welcome to Punchin' Up! by Cathy

Peace On Earth
(this says it all)

Today I want to share with you a card I created using the New Stamp Set "Carols Of Christmas" and the "Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies". 
This is such a stunning card with the different layering dimensions, glimmer and sparkle. 


I stamped the saying "Peace on Earth" first then I cut the double and single trees from the Whisper White card stock before I embossed it with the Softly Falling embossing folder.  I put Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper behind the double tree cutout and Copper Foil behind the single cutout.
I cut out a single tree out of Copper Foil and the small Dazzling Diamond tree is the left over middle part from the double tree die. (I had previously cut out many Dazzling Diamond double trees for another project and could throw away the middle part as it looked like little trees to me.)  I layered the double Whisper White trees with dimensionals, along with the Copper tree   and the small Dazzling Diamond tree. Then topped it off by adding a couple Pearl Basic Jewels.  

Let me know what do you think?

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Carols Of Christmas
Ink:  Soft Suede
Cardstock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White
Paper:  Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper, Copper Foil Paper
Framelits/Thinlits:  Card Front Builder Dies
Accessories:  Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals
