Hi, The stitching on the Basic White card (#159228) and the Bermuda Bay card (#131286) is achieved with the Stitched With Whimsy Dies (#155314). However these dies don’t actually cut, they only do the stitching. As I wanted to cut the card parallel to the stitching, rather than just a rectangular card, I lightly marked around the outside of die onto the card with a pencil, then cut the pieces, then used the die to do the stitching. I stamped the butterflies from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set (#154424) onto the White “stitched” card, using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). I coloured the images with a variety of Stampin’ Blends - Calypso Coral (#154881), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Mango Melody (#154888), Bermuda Bay (#154878), Pool Party (#154894), Night Of Navy (#154891) and Granny Apple Green (#154885). After colouring, I cut the butterfly image with a Fluttering Die (#154318). These are cut in one piece with the one die. I attached the Bermuda Bay card & Basic White card to the Basic White base card, then attached the cut out butterflies with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) above where I had cut them out. “Birthday Wishes” is from the Butterfly Wishes stamp set (#149346) and stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096). I used the Messages Die (#154422) to cut the sentiment and this was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Lastly I added the Flowers For Every Season Gems (#153645) to the body of one butterfly and to the card. Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing. “Love what you do and share what you love.” lesleyjendra.stampinup.net [email protected]

Old Olive with Boho Indigo and Berry Blessings Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the 31st 2020/2021 Colour Creations Showcase by members of the Art with Heart Team - our second blog hop this year. This week we are focussing on an amazing muted green called Old Olive. As its name suggests it is a muted olive green colour that can be found in the Stampin' Up! Regal's collection. This is such a great colour for leaves. As an Aussie, I look at various gum trees and think 'Old Olive' is the colour of the leaves. It is a colour that goes well with numerous other colours. Old Olive can be found in Stampin' Up!s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads, re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends; Water-colour pencils Assortment 1, numerous Designer Series Papers, including Ornate Garden, Hydrangea Hill, Ice Cream Corner & Fine Art Floral; in a couple of ribbons and in the Hello Dear Friend Card kit. I decided to play with watercolour for this blog hop and was delighted with the way Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink reacted. Apart from being lighter (being diluted) it was also brighter. The photos don't pick up the true colour on the cards. I had trouble with my photography today as it took me longer to find some satisfaction in the arrangements and addition of various elements so the outside lighting and shadows were problematic. I'll try to rephotograph and re-upload tomorrow. I purposely kept some elements the same on both cards to bring some compatibility between the cards, however, numerous differences ensure each card is individual. As you can guess, both cards use Old Olive and as mentioned, both cards include water-colouring techniques. Both cards also have an Old Olive card base and use the same Stitched Whimsy die. I love this new set of dies from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue. CARD 1: My first card started with the creation a water-colour background on Shimmery White card-stock using Seaside Spray Classic Stampin' ink with a medium Water Painter. Once almost dry, this background panel was dry embossed with a Subtle 3D embossing folder. Dry embossing over a panel that has been water-coloured helps flatten out the panel. The second largest Stitched Whimsy die was used to add stitching imprints. Two extra pieces of Shimmery White card-stock were also water-coloured; one just using Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink and the other using Old Olive, Garden Green and Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' ink for a different leaf. Three leaves from the Boho Indigo dies were used to cut two of each of the larger leaves from the extra pieces of water-coloured card-stock and one-and-a-half twigs of tiny leaves were cut from Old Olive card-stock. The larger vase from the Boho Indigo stamp set was stamped in Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' ink and die cut with the coordinating die. Some Linen Thread was wrapped around the neck of the vase and tied in a bow. Following experimentation with the arrangement, the vase was popped up on Dimensionals. The leaves were arranged and adhered with a mix of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Dimensionals. One of the sentiments from the Boho Indigo stamp set was stamped on White card-stock (I still have Whisper White card-stock but Stampin' Up are in the process of changing to Basic White card-stock). The sentiment was fussy cut, trimming off the top line of the greeting as I wanted a narrower sentiment. It was positioned with Dimensionals. The card front was adhered directly to an Old Olive card base. A piece of Whisper White card-stock was added inside the card. Two of die cut leaves were added, adhering flat to the card inner. The same vase used on the card front was stamped on the front of a C6 Whisper White envelope. The card was finished with paper flowers from the Boho Indigo Product Medley pack. I accidentally knocked a bead off one of the flower centres so decided to remove the beads and add small Basic Pearl Jewels that were coloured with a Light Pretty Peacock blend. CARD 2: The second card also started with the creation of a water-colour background on a panel of Shimmery White card-stock. Only Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink was used with a Medium Water Painter from the Water Painter set. To add a little more interest to the background the long thin leaf spray from the Berry Blessings Sale-a-bration stamp set was stamped partially on the water-coloured area with Old Olive Classic Stamping' ink. Once the water-colour background had dried, it was dry embossed with a 3D Subtle embossing folder and further imprinted with the second largest Stitched with Whimsy die. Apart from flattening the water-colour panel, I so love the subtle texture and the effect of the stitching lines. Some Old Olive ink was mixed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and lightly splattered over the background, before being adhered directly to an Old Olive card base. Using the Sale-a-bration Berry Blessings stamp set the outlines of both leaf stamps were stamped on Whisper White card-stock in Old Olive ink. The berries were stamped in Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' ink. (I also stamped the blueberries in Pacific Point ink but decided when arranging the pieces to only use the blackberries.) Initially, I had hoped to watercolour the leaves and berries but "life happened" and I needed to undertake the colouring away from my workstation, so I reverted to colouring with Stampin' Blends - a much more portable option. I used the Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss Combos with the Color Lifter. The leaves and berries were fussy cut, shaped and then arranged on the water-colour background. The pieces were adhered with a mix of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Dimensionals. The design needed something to lift it, so little flowers were punched out of white card-stock with the Confetti Flowers Border punch. Various sizes of the little flowers were scattered over the card. The smallest Basic Pearl Jewels were added to the centre of each flower. A Whisper White card-stock panel was added to the centre of the Old Olive card base. A sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink and a fussy cut leaf spray and berry were added to the card inner. A C6 Whisper White Envelope was also decorated with fussy cut leaves and punched flowers. A dot of Old Olive ink (using a Stampin' Write Marker) was added to the centre of the flowers. I tried to add either natural Linen Thread or Braided Linen Trim but they really didn't add anything - so no trim on this card. Thank you so much for spending time with me. 😘 Catherine Proctor is the amazing host of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase.

Hello & welcome to my sixth and last Sending Smiles series card post for now. I'm sure you'll see more of this fab bundle along the way, but for now take a look at this bright and happy card. Background Some of my fave papers (Butterfly Kisses & Tahitian Tide from the In-Color stack) create a fun look of grass & sky. Flower panel The leaves are stamped on white card in Parakeet Party ink, then I added some Watercolor Pencil shading, blended out with a Water Painter. You could use a Blender Pen too. The flower heads were stamped in Polished Pink and Daffodil Delight ink then I added addtional details with Watercolor Pencils in slightly darker shades (Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral & Granny Apple Green). The largest Stitched with Whimsy die frames the scene, fussy cutting around the stitched effect to create the wavy border - the Whimsy die only creates the stitching, it doesn't cut the outline. It is easy to cut though as the edge of the die embosses the card so it's easy to cut around. Sentiment - The two Sending word dies are cut in Starry Sky and Vellum. I like the soft translucent look the vellum gives. I've stamped the love & hugs sentiment in Starry Sky, & snuck in more lovely butterflies. So that's the last Sending Smiles card share for now. Thanks for visiting today and I hope you've enjoyed seeing the different looks and techniques shared. Do try them yourself too as it really is a fantastically versatile bundle.

Hello and welcome to my blog! I hope your here to get some inspiration for creating cards! For this card I combined the Waves of Inspiration Bundle with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Now I love the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper but I wanted to use a different color palette so I created my own design for the background. Hope you like this idea and will recreate it!

I love the images and sentiments in the Nature's Prints Bundle. I decided to use them to make a monochromatic card featuring the new Parakeet Party In Color. I sent this card along with some prizes to a couple of my customers who played along with the In Color riddles that Stampin' Up! posted before the new In Colors were revealed. My customers did a good job guessing the correct names and colors. I did use the Stamparatus to make this card too so that I could properly line up my images and cut out sections.

These puffins are so cute. I made this card using the Party Puffins Stamp Set. I also used the Stitched With Whimsy Dies just to make it fun!
Old Olive with Boho Indigo and Berry Blessings Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the 31st 2020/2021 Colour Creations Showcase by members of the Art with Heart Team - our second blog hop this year. This week we are focussing on an amazing muted green called Old Olive. As its name suggests it is a muted olive green colour that can be found in the Stampin' Up! Regal's collection. This is such a great colour for leaves. As an Aussie, I look at various gum trees and think 'Old Olive' is the colour of the leaves. It is a colour that goes well with numerous other colours. Old Olive can be found in Stampin' Up!s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads, re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Stampin' Blends; Water-colour pencils Assortment 1, numerous Designer Series Papers, including Ornate Garden, Hydrangea Hill, Ice Cream Corner & Fine Art Floral; in a couple of ribbons and in the Hello Dear Friend Card kit. I decided to play with watercolour for this blog hop and was delighted with the way Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink reacted. Apart from being lighter (being diluted) it was also brighter. The photos don't pick up the true colour on the cards. I had trouble with my photography today as it took me longer to find some satisfaction in the arrangements and addition of various elements so the outside lighting and shadows were problematic. I'll try to rephotograph and re-upload tomorrow. I purposely kept some elements the same on both cards to bring some compatibility between the cards, however, numerous differences ensure each card is individual. As you can guess, both cards use Old Olive and as mentioned, both cards include water-colouring techniques. Both cards also have an Old Olive card base and use the same Stitched Whimsy die. I love this new set of dies from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue. CARD 1: My first card started with the creation a water-colour background on Shimmery White card-stock using Seaside Spray Classic Stampin' ink with a medium Water Painter. Once almost dry, this background panel was dry embossed with a Subtle 3D embossing folder. Dry embossing over a panel that has been water-coloured helps flatten out the panel. The second largest Stitched Whimsy die was used to add stitching imprints. Two extra pieces of Shimmery White card-stock were also water-coloured; one just using Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink and the other using Old Olive, Garden Green and Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' ink for a different leaf. Three leaves from the Boho Indigo dies were used to cut two of each of the larger leaves from the extra pieces of water-coloured card-stock and one-and-a-half twigs of tiny leaves were cut from Old Olive card-stock. The larger vase from the Boho Indigo stamp set was stamped in Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' ink and die cut with the coordinating die. Some Linen Thread was wrapped around the neck of the vase and tied in a bow. Following experimentation with the arrangement, the vase was popped up on Dimensionals. The leaves were arranged and adhered with a mix of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Dimensionals. One of the sentiments from the Boho Indigo stamp set was stamped on White card-stock (I still have Whisper White card-stock but Stampin' Up are in the process of changing to Basic White card-stock). The sentiment was fussy cut, trimming off the top line of the greeting as I wanted a narrower sentiment. It was positioned with Dimensionals. The card front was adhered directly to an Old Olive card base. A piece of Whisper White card-stock was added inside the card. Two of die cut leaves were added, adhering flat to the card inner. The same vase used on the card front was stamped on the front of a C6 Whisper White envelope. The card was finished with paper flowers from the Boho Indigo Product Medley pack. I accidentally knocked a bead off one of the flower centres so decided to remove the beads and add small Basic Pearl Jewels that were coloured with a Light Pretty Peacock blend. CARD 2: The second card also started with the creation of a water-colour background on a panel of Shimmery White card-stock. Only Old Olive Classic Stampin' ink was used with a Medium Water Painter from the Water Painter set. To add a little more interest to the background the long thin leaf spray from the Berry Blessings Sale-a-bration stamp set was stamped partially on the water-coloured area with Old Olive Classic Stamping' ink. Once the water-colour background had dried, it was dry embossed with a 3D Subtle embossing folder and further imprinted with the second largest Stitched with Whimsy die. Apart from flattening the water-colour panel, I so love the subtle texture and the effect of the stitching lines. Some Old Olive ink was mixed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and lightly splattered over the background, before being adhered directly to an Old Olive card base. Using the Sale-a-bration Berry Blessings stamp set the outlines of both leaf stamps were stamped on Whisper White card-stock in Old Olive ink. The berries were stamped in Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' ink. (I also stamped the blueberries in Pacific Point ink but decided when arranging the pieces to only use the blackberries.) Initially, I had hoped to watercolour the leaves and berries but "life happened" and I needed to undertake the colouring away from my workstation, so I reverted to colouring with Stampin' Blends - a much more portable option. I used the Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss Combos with the Color Lifter. The leaves and berries were fussy cut, shaped and then arranged on the water-colour background. The pieces were adhered with a mix of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Dimensionals. The design needed something to lift it, so little flowers were punched out of white card-stock with the Confetti Flowers Border punch. Various sizes of the little flowers were scattered over the card. The smallest Basic Pearl Jewels were added to the centre of each flower. A Whisper White card-stock panel was added to the centre of the Old Olive card base. A sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink and a fussy cut leaf spray and berry were added to the card inner. A C6 Whisper White Envelope was also decorated with fussy cut leaves and punched flowers. A dot of Old Olive ink (using a Stampin' Write Marker) was added to the centre of the flowers. I tried to add either natural Linen Thread or Braided Linen Trim but they really didn't add anything - so no trim on this card.
