New- All Aflutter stamp set and paper punch from Stampiin' Up!

 

Hi Stamping friends!! Today I played with the new All Aflutter stamp set with coordinating paper punch. I love a stamp and punch bundle! So fun! This new bundle comes out on May 5th, along with a bunch of other new fun things!! 

I picked colors right out of the  Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper. This paper is so pretty with soft pastels in watercolor washes of patterns on one side, and bold black and white patterns on the other.  

I chose to use Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight  for my butterflies.  

I created the frame with the Stylish Shapes dies. There are 5 sizes of squares. I used the largest square and the middle sized square to create the frame. I flipped the center cut out over and used the black and white side on the inside of the frame. I used Dimensional Adhesive strips to pop the frame out a bit.  

 The sentiments are stamped in Versamark on Basic Black cardstock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. 

 I added some Bakers Twine bows in black on the white card base and white on the black card base. I also added some fun enamel dots called 'Array of Dots'. 

 

 

 

 

  

I couldn't decide on a card base color. I almost choose Pool Party, but then decided on Black or White.  I still couldn't choose so I made one of each.  I still am not sure which one I like better!  

Let me know which one you like better in the comments on my Video! 

 

These products are part of the next catalog which comes out on May 5th. I will have links to the catalog here on May 5th so be sure to check back!

Using Decorative Masks with Bleach

 Hi Everyone! Today I would like to share some cards I made while playing around with  the Decorative Masks and Bleach.  I used bleach on  a card a very long time ago and I figured it was time to do it again.  Of course as soon as I got it into my head to try it, I realized I was out of bleach.  So, the next time I was out at the store I picked up a bottle and later sat down to use it.  I got everything out and ready, cardstock cut and applied the bleach with a sponge.  I thought I would see instant change as I remembered happening before, but nothing happened.  The cardstock looked wet, but it did not change color.  I waited a bit to see if it would change eventually, but no.  Then I noticed something on the bottle of bleach.  'Color Safe'   What?!? How did I not know about color safe bleach?  I was so surprised. I am always so careful about dealing with bleach near the laundry for fear of splashing any on fabric.  Now my laundry is safe, but I couldn't do my craft project.  Next time I was at the store, I looked more carefully at the bleach and bought one that is called 'Splash-less'.  It is a bit thicker to reduce the chance of splashing and accidentally ruining my clothes! And, It is not color safe so I can do my craft projects! YAY!
I finally got to do the card that was floating around in my head for weeks.  The way the bleach reacts to cardstock is different from one color to the next, so try it out on a scrap piece first.  Notice how lime-yellow the Tranquil Tide cardstock turns.  The Balmy Blue turned a soft not quite white/not quite ivory color. I made a short video with tips and tricks to the cards.

 
My cards use Oh So Eclectic stamps and dies, I love the layering possibilities with this collection.  The sentiment is from Love What You Do.  I hope you like this idea and give it a try.
