The Spot Challenge #161 - Color Challenge with Stampin' Up! Positive Thoughts Simple Stamping Square Card

 Good Tuesday Morning!  Now that I have retired from my day job, every day seems like a Saturday!  I have a fun card to share with you today for The Spot's Color Challenge.  If you click the challenge graphic below, you can see what the rest of the Design Team has created with these fun colors!



I loved these colors!  Fresh Freesia is one of the new In Colors and is such a pretty light purple and  Granny Apple Green will forever be my favorite green!  

 

This week's card is square and truly is just simple stamping and layering.  Even though the beautiful Positive Thoughts stamp set has coordinating dies (Nature's Thoughts Dies), I just fussy cut that butterfly because I wanted the butterfly stamped under it on the card front to show up.  I stamped the fern branch in Granny Apple Green and the flower in both Magenta Madness and Fresh Freesia onto a panel of Basic White.   The sentiment was stamped onto the top in Magenta Madness.  I liked that the sentiment was partially stamped over the flowers and fern leaves!   I stamped the butterfly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the card front as well as onto Watercolor paper (Fluid 100) in Black Stazon.  The butterfly on the Watercolor Paper was watercolored using Fresh Freesia and Magneta Madness Ink. After I fussy cut the butterfly, I attached the body with glue dots and added Dimensionals under the wings so that they were raised up.   The Basic White Card Front measured 4" x 4" and was layered on a 4-1/8" x 4-1/8" Basic Black.  I used my Black Stampin Write Marker to add some black splatters to the card front and then some black twine across the lower part of the layered card front, tied into a bow on the left side.  I used Dimensionals to then add it to a Magenta Madness 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" card base, scored at 4-1/4".  Super Simple Stamping but so cute!

Thanks so much to stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

OSAT Blog Hop #simplestamping


Hello and Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope your day is special and full of love! Not only is it Valentine's Day but it is also time for the  February One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop!  If you've already been hopping then you should have landed here from the very talented Candy Ford's blog.  If you are starting at my blog, please make sure you hop all the way through and take in every bit of awesome inspiration!   This month's theme is #simplestamping.  I had a little trouble making up my mind what to do for this one so I'm going to share both cards and treat box with you today.

My first card used both the Petal Palette Stamp Set for tone-on-tone stamping and the sentiment and the Butterfly Gala Bundle for the butterflies.  


It was a super simple card with a black 11" x 4 1/4" half sheet of Basic Black Cardstock scored at 5 1/2 for a top folding card.  My stamped panel was Lemon Lime Twist with tone-on-tone stamping in Lemon Lime Twist Ink.  I stamped the butterflies in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto more of the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and then used the Butterfly Duet Punch to punch them out.  I curved the wings with my bone folder and adhered the bodies of the butterfly with Multipurpose Glue and put a mini dimensional under the wings so they would have dimension.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card front in Memento Black Ink.  Finally I added a few splatters to the front with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to finish it off.

My next card and treat holder featured the Butterfly Gala Bundle and the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper. 



This was super easy as there was minimal stamping.  I used the beautiful Botanical Butterfly DSP as my focus on the card.  I did layer a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock behind it before adhering to a Heavy Whisper White Top Folding Card Base.  The sentiment from the Butterfly Gala Bundle was stamped onto Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out the sentiment.  I added a small amount of snail adhesive to the back of the punched sentiment and ran a few loops of Whisper White solid twine behind it.  I then added some dimensionals to adhere it to my card front.   For my treat box, I started with one of the Silver Mini Gable boxes.  I layered on Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock on all 4 sides and then more of the Botanical Butterfly DSP.  The tag was cut from more of the same DSP.  I cut the Banner End with the Triple Banner Punch and used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch for the top.  I added another Butterfly stamped on Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then punched out and adhered with Multipurpose Glue.  I tied it to the top of the Gable Box with more of the Whisper White Solid Twine.
