Butterfly Gala - Waterfront - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up! 2019

#loveitchopit 

I love using the blends to colour the butterflies.  Just choose colours from the paper and colour!

It was hard to decide whether to use very vanilla or whisper white for the die cut from Stitched Label Framelit.  White seemed too bright so I went with very vanilla;  I'm not crazy about it; oh well ;)

The sentiment is from Waterfront and that's some old Pool Party seam binding ribbon.

Get out your paper and chop it!

Butterfly Gala - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

#loveitchopit

Two little butterflies from Butterfly Gala were added to this Attic  Boutique Designer Series Paper (2012).  I had stamped a few sentiments a long time ago for another project and didn't end up using, so I just grabbed one and then added a few tiny pearls....and called it done!

The butterflies were coloured with Blends alcohol markers and covered with Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.

Working on another a quick and easy card with this stamp set and paper...so check back!

In the meantime visit my on-line store

New catalogue launches tomorrow, June 4th.

Getting some use out the Butterfly Gala stamp set and punch that I just purchased recently.  I love this set.  I am adding the butterflies to several of the cards from this 2012 paper Attic Boutique.  Blends markers make colouring them so enjoyable...for an non artsy person ;)

I used Flirty Flamingo card stock and retired Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim.  The butterfly is mounted on a die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  On the butterfly there is a diamond shape rhinestone from the Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems.

Having fun using old and new.  I think my next pack of paper I shop will be current, but first I want to finish up with Attic Boutique!

See you soon

Itty Bitty Greetings - Petals & More Thinlits - Attic Boutique - Stampin Up!

#loveitchopit

It's also fun when you don't have to do much stamping!  I tried something a little different here.  The Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper is covered in Mod Podge and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds.  It is very sparkly!

Texture was added to the card base with the Subtle Embossing Folder and the white side accent is from the Petals & More Thinlits.  

My sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and punched out with the Classic Label Punch.  I use this punch a lot!!

I hope you are inspired to use up old paper/products while incorporating our awesome current products.  Give it a try!

The count down is on!  New catalogue goes live June 4.

Butterfly Gala - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

#loveitchopit

Another quick and easy card with the 2012 Attic Boutique DSP.  Once again the paper does all the work.  This time, Butterfly Gala makes an entrance; coloured with Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo Blends alcohol markers.  There is a little bit of shimmer on the wings from the Wink of Stella.
I can tell I will be using these butterflies a lot!  They were easy to colour and and easy to punch out.

The sentiment (I can't remember the stamp set this was from) - I found it in my stash of pieces I've made in the past but didn't end up using.

Three tiny pearls were added to finish off the card.

Petal Palette - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

This sweet little bird is from the Petal Palette stamp set which is retiring as of June 4.  It looks perfect with this already retired paper from 2012 Attic Boutique.  Another #loveitchopit card aimed at using up paper that has been sitting around since....well, 2012!

The sentiment is also from the retired set Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon is a lovely accent to this soft and pretty card.

Love What You Do - Happy Birthday Gorgeous - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

I am once again working with the #loveitchopit method of creating cards.  Today's card is using some Designer Series Paper from 2012 called Attic Boutique.   I had 6 full sheets (which is all now in 5.25 X 4 inch pieces) of this paper left and ended up using the one I liked the least!

Co-ordinating colours included Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede so I used the Love What You Do stamp set and stamped the image in Soft Suede.  Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight Blends were used to colour my image.  I also had some retired Stitched Poly Ribbon so I  cut the edge and pulled a few strands to make a bow for the flowers.   My sentiment is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous which is retiring in just a few days.

It was a slow start to getting this paper used up.  I was having a hard time figuring out how to use the paper designs. So I just decided to play and let it take however long it takes.  Now to clean up and try another!

Afternoon Picnic - Botanical Butterfly - Stampin' Up!

I am on a mission to try and use up some really old designer series paper.  It's a slow mission ;). Still working on the same pack of Afternoon Picnic I was using May 12.  You can see that post via the link below.

https://turtlecreations-papercrafts.blogspot.com/2019/05/loveitchopit-afternoon-picnic-cards.html

Circle Punches made this a quick card to make.

In addition to the Afternoon Picnic paper I used an old Paper Pumpkin stamp set called Seriously Amazing from Aug. 2014 for the sentiment.  I had to dig out an older Wisteria Wonder marker for any inking I did.

The butterfly is fussy cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP.

 Lastly, the splatters were from the current set Waterfront which will be carrying over into the new catalogue.

Dig out your old, but always beautiful Designer Series Paper and play along with the #loveitchopit method of delving into unused paper!

Bird Ballad DSP - Stampin' Up! 2019

A little bit of new and old today.  The sweet birds (fussy cut) are from the new Bird Ballad DSP that I purchased during the pre-order.  The new catalogue goes live on June 4.  The Enjoy Today sentiment is from Good Morning Magnolia stamp set that also debuts in June.

Retired Delicate Details Lace Tape was used for the centre of the card; background paper is also retired.

This was a quick and easy card using a simple layout to showcase the birds in the designer series paper.

Looking forward to playing with more of the awesome products coming our way!
