It’s Friday which means it’s video time with Friday Flicks. I couldn’t help but use the gorgeous To A Wild Rose bundle. I am so sad this is retiring. I love the layering you can achieve with the stamps and having the dies to match to get your different flowery effects.
This is today’s card.

It’s come to that time when we start saying Good-Bye to our favourites. The Retiring List is now out. It’s your Last Chance to get them.
I have all the details below. I know I’m sad to be saying Good-Bye to some. But it makes space for other great products to come.
**Firstly, when you check the list don’t be alarmed at the size of it. Some items are being reconfigured such as the stamp set cases. New sets will now come with a printed image on the outside as well as the inside back cover and the stamp sets won’t have images on the clear sheets the stamps are stuck to.Â
**Â Some bundles as in stamps/dies or stamps/punches are listed as retiring but only as a bundle. They may still be available individually in the next catalogue but buying them now as a bundle saves 10%.
See them all in my Store to see all the items shown -> HERE.

The other day I decided to play just because. No creating for classes, blog posts, Youtube, Challenge cards, Thank You cards. I just decided to pull out a set to create. I very rarely do that. (Maybe I should do it more too).
It was grey and rainy here and has been for some time. By looking at the weather it’s going to be raining for some time still. That doesn’t matter when you can just pull out card and ink and play.
I grabbed the Under My Umbrella stamp set. Maybe because it was raining. Here is the card. I was surprised it didn’t take long to put together.
The images were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.
You can find the Under My Umbrella stamp set in my store -> HERE. Don’t forget the Umbrella Punch too. That makes cutting the umbrellas out so easy. You do need to fussy cut the boots.

Have a happy day. If it’s raining where you are keep safe and dry.
Today’s project and video is a little different. I have a cute Mini Treat Bag for you. It’s using the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper. I also have a couple of other versions in this design.
You can check the video below and I have the measurements further down so you can refer back to it.
Here is the Mini Treat Bag.
Notice the bottom edge? I diecut the “hatch” type die on it. Whether you stamp or diecut on this you will need to do this before you assemble the bag.
I added a detailed Diecut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies set cut in Mint Macaron. I diecut a stitched circle with the Stitched Shapes Die between the butterfly and bag to help separate the 2 so the butterfly doesn’t get lost on the bag.
Here is the video. If you receive this post by email the video may not show so be sure to head to my blog to catch the video or heat to Youtube.
I made 2 other versions too. A sweet one with the Dandy Garden Suite. It’s a great way to use the dandelion paper. Also one with the Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper.

This is one of the cards we made in today’s Butterfly Brilliance class.
This card really showcases many of the products in the Butterfly Brilliance Collection. The gorgeous Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the details in the Butterfly Wings dies. You can see on the white card the embossed “hatching” lines created with one of the dies and the small white square has the “dots” background. They create really cool effects for your projects.
Have you got any of these products yet? They are so lovely. I’m sure you have butterfly dies BUT have you got those cool embossed type dies?
In Australia? You can find them -> HERE in my store. Please use the Host Code: 4WESFNXP.

AND don’t forget this month you can extend your Sale-A-Bration bonuses. Grab one of my extra stamps or papers when you order over $90.
How cool are these large butterflies in the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp?? And I say Stamp (singular) as this is one big stamp.
Just a tip: It’s a good idea to use the Stamparatus for this big beauty. It’s great to be able to re-stamp if it doesn’t work well the first time. And it is so much easier to handle as it is quite large.
For this card I stamped the butterflies on white card using the Stamparatus and then coloured it with the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blends. You can make your own background paper!
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the dies are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.
Check the embossing on the black sentiment mat. It has these little “hatched” lines that you can emboss in to your card. This is with one of the Dies in the Butterfly Wings Dies set. I added some Magenta Madness ribbon which still tones in well.
You can’t see on the black card mat behind the butterflies but I embossed the piece with the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder.
The Butterfly Brilliance is an early release bundle. They will continue on in the new upcoming catalogue.
The Papers that you can get with this release are only for a limited time so be sure to grab those VERY SOON.They are beautiful.
