Hi Stamping Friends!
We had our monthly Team Meeting last night and it was so much fun! We shared so many awesome ideas and inspiration! The best part was our sneak peek Holiday Catalog tour allowing team members to get a closeup look at upcoming holiday products! I heard over and over that this was the best Holiday Catalog ever! Woohoo!
It was also the first meeting that I offered Virtual Meeting Kits to our out-of-town stampers, so they could also enjoy the prize giveaways, table favors and make & takes! I love our Too Cool Team members from near and far, and I'm so excited to be able to share some of the fun with those who are unable to get to the local meeting! If you're a stamping enthusiast, don't miss out on the fun next month…Join My Team today!

Watercolor Wings Little Moments Matters Cards
I created today's projects as part of our Too Cool Team swap! It features the gorgeous Watercolor Wings two-step stamp set with coordinating Bold Butterflies Thinlits, and uses the refreshing combination of Lost Lagoon and Mint Macaron!
CASEd from Julie Davison at Julie's Stamping Spot.
Background Basics—The 4-1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Mint Macaron is stamped with a sentiment from Watercolor Wings in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I wrapped some of the 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the top, then adhered it to the Lost Lagoon vertically-folded card base.
Doily Details—I cut a Tea Lace Doily in half and adhered it with SNAIL so that it was tucked underneath the ribbon. TIP: Just add the adhesive to the solid center and not the intricately cut border, so that no sticky comes through.
Two-Step Butterfly—I stamped the large solid butterfly image from Watercolor Wings in Mint Macaron, onto Whisper White card stock, then stamped the dotted image over the top in Lost Lagoon. These colors were made for each other! Just lovely! I die-cut the image with the Bold Butterflies Thinlits.
Finishing Details—I die-cut the delicate vellum butterfly with the Bold Butterfly Thinlits and adhered that over the top with a Glue Dot. Don't forget to bend the wings up to make them flutter! I adorned the butterfly center with a Metal-Rimmed Pearl for a dressed-up, finished look! Love those pearls! The butterfly is adhered to the card base with Dimensionals.
Pop-Up Card Idea—If you like this card, which I CASEd nearly exactly from Julie Davison, then be sure to check out her Julie's Stamping Spot site to see how to create a Too Cool circle pop-up card! She is so talented!
Two Cool—I switched up the same elements to create a horizontal version. I still like the first one better, but that awesome butterfly looks great on any card!
