Great day in the morning! Or should I say evening since it is actually evening for me and time for a brand new Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop! For this one we pulled out all the stops and will be showcasing all kinds of Stampin' Up!® products.
For my first card, I embossed some Pool Party Core'dinations Paper using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder then, sanded the dots. I was going to add some color to the dots but decided I wanted to showcase those cute flowers made with the Floral Fusions Sizzlits. I'm liking that little die. I'm not wild about the ribbon since I tried to age some Pool Party Seam Binding. The photo doesn't do it justice but it did add a bit more contrast to the overall card. And, the oval used to stamp the Oh, Hello sentiment from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set, was punched from one the tags on a sheet from the Etcetera Designer Series Paper. It worked perfectly with the Extra Large Oval Punch.
Stamp Set: Oh, Hello; Ink: Night of Navy; Card Stock: Night of Navy, Pool Party Core'dinations, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry, Etcetera Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools: Deocrative Dots Embossing Folder, Extra Large Oval Punch, Floral Fusions Sizzlits, Itty Bitty Punch Pack Flower, 1/2" Pool Party Seam Binding, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine
When I ordered the Etcetera Designer Series Paper, I wasn't sure I would like it. I've changed my mind. All of the different designs you see here are from that paper collection, even the flower I made using the new Spiral Flower Die.

I'll have you know that all the gold is not in California! It's all over my third card. I love those Gold Foil Sheets. The other day I came across this butterfly HERE and wanted to give it a try but with a Stampin' Up!® twist. Our Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape looks really good made into a butterfly. I purposely didn't add a sentiment since I'm not sure just what occasion I'll be using this card for.

I love all your projects, Marsha. Every one is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMarsha, I NEED to know how you made that butterfly!! :) And the Decorative Dots on the Gold Foil - to die for! All your projects are just fabulous, as usual. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your projects!!! What a unique butterfly! !
ReplyDeleteAwesome projects...they are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeletewow - what a great collection of projects, and your washi butterfly is truly inspired!
ReplyDeleteOh, my - that gold card is stunning! I love that Washi Tape but never thought of making a butterfly out it. Love how you highlighted the Etcetera DSP. I never even looked at it, now I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteCool idea with the butterfly!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards!!! I'm really in love with the new SAB embossing folder too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat textures! I love them!
ReplyDeleteWOW, you sure have been one busy lady. Love them all, Marsha. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love all of these cards! Now I have to buy the spiral die and the etcetera paper. That gold card is a wow!
ReplyDeleteEtcetera is one of my favorites, too! Love your little flowers, and the gold card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun cards in so very different styles makes choosing a fav just a tad tricky. Love the shabby chic feel of the first (the floral fusion die really is a fav of mine), the color and pop of the second really sets up for the grand finale of the golden butterfly card. I'm so glad you shared the link for the butterfly. Now I can give that a try myself. Brilliant using vellum for the base of the Washi Tape. In person I bet it gives it more of the rice paper feel traditional washi has. Thanks for hopping yet again Miss Marsha...see you round the 'cooler!
ReplyDeleteMarsha, your cards make me think of Spring and those are such welcome thoughts. I love the simplicity of the Floral Fusion flowers on your first card and the elegance of the Spiral Flower die bloom on your second card. They're each just perfect for the card you've used them on. I hadn't thought that I'd like the Etcetera DSP but it has surprised me. I like happy surprises and love your card. The final slow of gold is dazzling! I, too, love the Gold Foil and am glad it continued from the Holiday catalogue. That Decorative Dots embossing folder looks completely different used on the foil, doesn't it? My only complaint is that you've tantalized me with that butterfly but haven't included the instructions. It's on my CASE list but I'm not sure I can do that without some guidance (hint, hint). Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBTW that's a show of gold, not a slow of gold. Sorry.
