Hi Stamping Friends!

Some of my favorite stamp sets in the 2015 Annual Catalog are the Host Sets!  There are 5 stamp sets at the back of your catalog (p179-181) that are exclusively available to stampers who host a party or class!  All of the sets are at discounted prices, but you must have a minimum workshop order, or individual order, in order to select these sets with the Stampin' Reward dollars you earn.

If you want one of these for yourself for FREE, be sure to contact me to schedule a private class or virtual catalog party right away!

Today's cards spotlight the lovely Floral Wings Host stamp set!  If you love butterflies, this catalog is filled with butterfly stamps & dies, and they all work so well together!  This is another set you'll want to add to mix & match with your other butterfly sets!

Stylish Stripes Floral Wings Cards

Floral Wings is a pretty, two-step stamp set that creates a fabulous focal point with delicate floral accents!  I spotlighted the bold butterfly image on these two cool cards, and you can make one of them if you attend my "Last Thursdays" card class next week!

Background Basics—I started with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Pool Party that I texture embossed with the Stylish Stripes folder.  I adhered that to a Whisper White card base. 

Washi Tape Layer—I added a Basic Black 5-1/4" x 3/4" strip across the background for a little contrast.  To give it a little pattern, I adhered one of the tapes from the Everyday Chic Washi Tape down the center.  The tape pattern closely resembles the one that's on the butterfly!  Love it!

Floral Wings Stamping—The butterfly is "two-step" image has blank spaces that you fill with the flowers stamp and then the leaves stamp—so it's really a "three-step" stamp! 

Floral Wings Focal Point—I stamped the butterfly image in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White.  Then, I stamped the flowers in Pool Party and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz. The image is die-cut with the new Bold Butterflies Framelits. 

Vellum Butterfly & Accents—I used the same Bold Butterflies Framelits to die-cut the smaller butterfly layer from Vellum card stock, and I adhered it with a Glue Dot.  I decorated the center with a Pool Party punch-out from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, also adhered with a Glue Dot.  It's topped with one of the new, silver, Metal-Rimmed Pearls with a convenient, self-adhesive back.

I popped up the butterfly over a Whisper White die-cut from the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.

Did You Know? The Bold Butterflies Framelits are designed to work the the original Butterflies Thinlits!  The solid medium size Bold Butterfly die-cut is perfectly sized to match the intricate butterfly from the Butterfly Thinlits.  And, the small intricate Bold Butterfly matches the solid butterfly from the Butterfly Thinlits.  This gives you all kinds of versatility for layering!  Too Cool!

Sweet Sentiment—I added a sweet And Many More greeting at the bottom on a 1/2" wide strip of Whisper White card stock.  It's stamped in Memento Black Ink, trimmed to size, fish-tailed on the ends and popped up with Dimensionals.

Inside—I brought the pretty flowers inside the card using the same flowers that go into the butterfly, along with a long, leafy vine and individual rose stamp. 

Two Cool—My second version features the same elements in a different, darker color combination.

Focal Point—This time my card has Rose Red and Old Olive accents.  The sentiment is from the same And Many More set.

Inside—I stamped the long, two-step vine across the bottom and added the small individual rose everywhere there was an "empty" stem.  What a delightful border!
