Soft Green Foiled Butterflies

As I search for inspiration for our new foiling products, I keep an eye out for interesting color combinations! This one caught my eye! I love aqua and teal colors! This one uses Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock! But, there is also some Coastal Cabana in the butterflies! I just LOVE the Swiss Dots for a sparkly background!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Lost Lagoon: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (Butterflies); 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for inside); 1 1/2" x 4" (sentiment)

To Make this Card:

Foil one White layer with Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die and Gold Foil.
Adhere Lost Lagoon layer, and foiled layer to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, Hot Foil the Butterfly Flight Die in Gold Foil onto quarter sheet of White.
Color, using masks. Start with Coastal Cabana, a blending brush, and mask #1. Then, switch to Lost Lagoon with mask #2, and finish with Pretty Peacock ink and mask #3.
Now, you can die cut your "butterflies".
Select a sentiment to foil in Gold Foil. Die cut with corresponding die.
I decided to make this a "Landscape" card, so I started with the sentiment first. Then, added the largest butterfly, shaping it a bit with a bone folder! I then had to decide how many other butterflies I wanted to use. I chose the 2 smaller ones! I adhered them with a strip of Tear & Tape down the "body" center.
I finished the front with retired Tinsel Gems.
For the inside, after adding a White layer, I chose one of the remaining butterflies and added it to the inside. I saved the other for another project.

Cutest Crew Clean & Simple Card

I just love the color coordination of this card! I saw this and knew it would be perfect for my Senior stampers! And, I always try to create one card using some of my retired products, so this fits the bill there, too, as it uses the retired Painted Illusions POTM paper!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet, 3" square (circle), 3 pcs @ 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Painted Illusions DSP (ret): 3 pcs @ 2" x 3", 1/2" x 4" (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" square (circle punch)

To Make this Card:

Run one White piece through Soft Waves Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, adhere 3 DSP pcs to the 3 Pretty Peacock pcs. Arrange onto card front as desired.
Now, die cut circle from Spotlight on Nature Dies and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
Punch circle from White with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
Then, stamp "birds" and sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink. Color with Granny Apple Green and Lost Lagoon Blends, and adhere to Pretty Peacock circle.
Add to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.
Finish outside with scattered Wave gems (ret). Or, the Array Dots!

Boutique Blossoms Layered Card

I've probably had this bundle since the current catalog came out. The flower is just stunning as is the coordinating DSP! However, i just hadn't gotten around to using it! This is a version of a card I found from demonstrator Cindy Elam (of course, with my own twist). We will be doing it in my Senior Center Class...and maybe my monthly class as well!

Measurements:

Crisp Cantaloupe (N): 1/2 sheet
Bloom Boutique DSP (N): 2 7/8" x 4 3/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 2 1/2" square (flower); 3 1/8" square (smooth circle); 3 3/4" square (embossed circle); 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scrap (label)
Lost Lagoon: scraps

To Make this Card:

Adhere DSP piece to folded Crisp Cantaloupe card base. Attach it clear over to the left of card.
Next, take Scalloped Blooms Dies and die cut one, larger White one with no stitching, and the next smaller size with stitching.
Emboss the larger, scalloped circle with the retiring Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Stamp outline of "rose" onto piece of White, in Calypso Coral. Color in with Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral Blends. Die cut with corresponding die. Add a little Wink of Stella to the flower.
Die cut 2 "leaves" with Boutique Blossoms dies and Lost Lagoon Cardstock.
Adhere largest, scalloped circle to front of card, to the left, as shown. I used squares of the Adhesive Foam Sheets.
Next, add the smooth, scalloped circle with square of the Adhesive Foam Sheet.
And, lastly, I added the flower.
Then, tuck the leaves under the flower.
Add a Crisp Cantaloupe bow, as shown.
For the label, stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink. Die cut with die from the Sweet Words and Labels Dies. Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish front with new Glossy Garden Dots.
Finish inside with stamped rose buds in the in corner, colored with Blends, and a strip of the gorgeous DSP.
