Stampin' Up! Punched Posies and Decorative Label Punch
Something new is in the air. And with it we must bid farewell to our “heart” felt color challenges. The countdown has begun to an exciting new Pals' look and challenge and I've joined their design team. During the coming months you'll see some exciting challenges sure to peak your interest and keep you coming back for more. BUT, this week our challenge is a colorful one of Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight. Of course you can use a neutral in there to balance it out and get some contrast. As I was on my morning walk the other day I noticed a telephone wire lined with birds. Everyone of them was exactly the same and facing the same way. It reminded me of a Stampin' Up! set. (Only I would look at a bunch of birds and think SU!) Here's my interpretation...
Stampin' Stuff:
Stamp Sets -
- Punched Posies Clear Mount (120030 - Summer Mini Level 2 Hostess Set)
- Smarty Pants (115070)
Ink -
- Tempting Turquoise Classic (100814)
- Melon Mambo (115656)
- StazOn® Jet Black Ink Pad (101406)
Paper -
- Whisper White Card Stock (100730)
- Daffodil Delight Card Stock (119683)
- Melon Mambo Card Stock (115320)
- Daffodil Delight Card Stock (119683)
Accessories -
- Black Brads (119736 - Neutrals Assortment)
- Basic Rhinestones (119246)
- SNAIL Adhesive (104332)
- Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
Tools -
- Butterfly Punch (119848)
- Decorative Label Punch (120907 - Holiday Mini)
Putting It Together Tips:
- It's almost impossible to light rhinestones in a picture so they look like rhinestones and not silver brads. Suffice it to say that the Melon mambo butterfly has rhinestones - not brads - all over her body!
- I wanted the Tempting Turquoise bodies to match the rhinestone body without using brads, so I opted to use the dot stamp that comes with the Hostess set. I repeated the theme with the black brads in the lower right corner.
- Stamping the butterflies in the same color ink as the paper gives they some texture without looking to cluttered with color.

Congrats on joining the design team! What a funny lot we stampers are ... I often see something and ponder if it can be translated into a stamping project ... inspiration is all around us if we will just look! :-) Love the card.

I always wondered about how best to use this sentiment. Never thought of butterflies. Very nice design and execution.
