Beautiful Wings Embosslits – A Stamping Journey

A little while ago I got together with my stamping buddies, Andrea and Leonie N. for the weekend. Well it probably amounted to 24 hours that I was there for but boy did we cram a lot of creating in that time! It’s amazing how much you can create when you don’t have those little interruptions such as family. 🙂 I want to show you some of the projects we created. I won’t give you too many details of the cards. It will take too long.

I played around with my “Reason to Smile” set.

This is a framelit card. This card was inspired by one I saw in my blog travels. It used the “Field Flowers” set but I just changed this around a bit. I stamped the flower 3 times and then again on scrap Vanilla card and cut out the flower. I raised this up off the card with dimensionals. I will try and put together a tutorial on creating this Framelit card. Just give me a bit of time for that. 🙂

This card was CASED by Maureen (I think???) from MamaMo Stamps. I love the butterflies and the debossing using the ‘Elegant Lines’ Embossing Folder.

Here’s another CASE from Maureen. I first embossed some Vanilla cardstock using the Houndstooth Embossing Folder. I then punched out 3 flowers with the Blossom Punch. The centres and greeting from ‘Sincere Salutations’ were stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink. A very simple card but I think effective.

This is a quick one layer card I CASED from Leonie. I stamped this one in Tangerine Tango. This is such an easy card – maybe 5 minutes MAX!! I stamped one flower on scrap white card and punched it out using the Blossom Punch. This was raised up off the card using dimensionals.

‘That is enough for today. I will post some more from our stamping day next post.

Hope you can stop by again soon,

I have been wanting to show you this for a little while. Over the recent school holidays Carlie and I found these letters in a discount shop. It was good to find our own letters. I undercoated them in White paint. Carlie decided to paint her’s with coloured paint spots but when it was done she didn’t like it, so I had to sand it all back and repaint it in white again. I think she has lost heart now so it could be some time until she has it finished. So, I will show you mine.

Here is a side-on view.

I have used the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper. The white doily is cut from one of the pieces in this pack. The butterflies are cut with the ‘Beautiful Wings’ Embosslits and the swirls from ‘Swirls Scribbles’. I added some pearls to finish it off. I was happy with the way it turned out. It now sits proudly on a shelf in my craft room.

Just a quick update on my swaps for Convention. I haven’t had a chance to get back here all week. I have been working really hard. I can now say they are ALL DONE. I managed to get 85 completed. It is a bit short of my original goal but that will have to do. I still need to put the recipe labels on them and bag them BUT they are finished! (I am so relieved let me tell you. I was getting a bit over it!!!). I will show you what I have come up with next week.

Thanks for stopping by. Stop in for a visit again very soon. You are going to have to now aren’t you because you want to know what my swaps look like!!
