Stamp Set Feature Day Four Week Four with Floating & Fluttering! - Debbie Henderson, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

It’s Floating & Fluttering Day #4! I am halfway through Week 4 already. Are we having fun yet? I don’t know how many weeks I will be doing this yet since it’s something new I started with our new Mini Catalog. I know for sure that I have a few more weeks lined up for you though!

Warning: Very long post with lots of inspiration….7 cards today! I hosted my monthly Online Facebook Workshop this month and I knew I was going to be featuring this bundle so I saved all of my workshop projects for today’s post. By the way, my next Online Facebook Workshop will be on Thursday February 4th. Come join us!

I showed my attendees how to start with a Clean & Simple Card and step it up twice for two wow cards. My third card includes a fun fold so make sure you scroll down to see them all. I have the instructions listed for all three cards with the featured bundle:

Card Base #2: Blackberry Bliss Cardstock 9-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Score at 3-3/4″ and 6-1/2″ and fold in opposite directions to create the Z Fold. Fold on the first score line and use the Detailed Trio Punch to round the inside top corner over both layers. Use the punch to round the corner on the top right. Add adhesive to the back of the last scored section and glue to the inside of Card base #1 about 1/4″ from the right edge. Add adhesive to the front section on the left only about halfway and glue to the front flap.

Front White Layer: Stamp the sentiment at the top right using Blackberry Bliss Ink. Stamp the cluster of butterflies using Seaside Spray Ink. Color the leave with Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Light. Stamp the diecut butterflies on Seaside Spray using Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Glue to the front of Card Base #2.
Inside White Layers: Stamp the small butterfly images to the both layers using the same ink colors and glue to the inside of Card Base #2.

This was the first card I demonstrated. When starting out my workshop, I try to demonstrate a tip, technique or card fold. This is the Clear Medium Envelope Shaker card. I love how easy these are to create! I used the Garden Wishes Bundle:

Here are the layers I used:

Card Base: Gorgeous Grape Cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
Layer #2: Soft Sea Foam Cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″. Stamp the sentiment and images using the Garden Wishes Stamp Set and Shaded Spruce Ink. Place the cardstock layer inside a Clear Translucent Medium Envelopes, Sprinkle some Flowers For Every Season Gems. Seal the envelope to the back and also add clear tape to fold over the top edge to the back. Glue to card front using Tear & Tape.
Diecuts: Use the Dandy Wishes Dies to cut flowers and leaves using Basic White, Gorgeous Grape, Shaded Spruce and Purple Posy Cardstocks. Glue in layers at the bottom right-hand corner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Ribbon: Tie a knot using the Purple 3/8″ Tricolor Ribbon and glue to the bottom of the flowers.
Bling: Glue some of the clear Flowers For Every Season Gems to the center of each flower.
