It's Your Special Day

Hello, and happy Friday! This was a very long week, so it felt good to come home and relax with some crafting. I created my card for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. I created my card by embossing a panel of white cardstock using a Spellbinders starburst embossing folder. I adhered that panel down to my A2 white card base. Using one of the Spellbinders stacking deckled rectangles dies, I die cut a panel and stamped the leaves from Stampin' UP's Kinda Eclectic using Stampin' UP's old olive ink. I stamped the leaves again onto a separate scrap of white cardstock and fussy cut the image out. I stamped the sentiment from a Momenta birthday wooden block collection at the bottom of the panel using Versafine onyx black ink. I then stamped the butterfly from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the flower from Stampin' UP's Petite Petals stamp set onto scrap cardstock using delightful daffodil ink from Stampin' UP. I fussy cut the images out and popped them all up off of the panel using Stampin' UP mini foam dimensionals. I added clear rhinestones from The Paper Studio to the butterfly, the flower, and scattered a few more around the focal panel. I framed the whole panel using some aqua blue cardstock from Hobby Lobby and popped the panel up off of the card using thin foam tape. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Hello, and happy Sunday! Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. To create my card I started by stamping the elements from Stampin' UP's Kinda Eclectic onto a white card base using inks from Gina K Designs that matched the color challenge. I cut the panel down to be slightly smaller than my A2 card base and attached it using 3M foam tape for some dimension. I then stamped the butterflies from the same stamp set using more Gina K Designs inks and fussy cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Friendship Messages stamp set using black ink and die cut the panel down using a fish tail banner die from Jillian Vance Designs. I adhered the banner and layered butterfly onto the card panel using mini Stampin' UP foam dimensions. To finish off the card I added some gem stickers from Honey Bee Stamps Freshly Brewed collection. I love how pretty this card turned out and think it would make a lovely note card set by adding different sentiments. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
