Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies bundle is full of pretty pen drawn butterflies and sweet sentiments and I paired it with the colorful Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a Thank You card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a color challenge this week and I used all of the colors – I love how the Full Of Life DSP blends the colors in those little circles!
I embossed a Summer Splash panel with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Summer Splash card base. I adhered a panel of Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Melon Mambo mat and wrapped it with Summer Splash ribbon and tied a bow. I adhered the DSP panel to the card with liquid glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Lemon Lime Twist card stock and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes circle die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots.
I used the die from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies dies to cut a Basic Black panel. I brushed Wink of Stella on the butterflies to give them sparkle – I just wish it showed up better in the pictures. I adhered the butterflies to the card with bits of black dimensionals and finished the card with Lemon Lime Twist dots.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the small butterflies from the Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set using Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Berry Burst inks. I inked up each butterfly separately and wiped the stamp before stamping the next one. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal..
The Stampin’ Up! Sketched Butterflies bundle is on the Last Chance products list so it’s only available while supplies last. Be sure to check out the Last Chance list to see the retiring items from the current Annual and Mini Catalogs.

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle is such a fun set with stamps and dies featuring radiating circles and cheery sentiments. I had to pair it with the colorful Full Of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for a birthday card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.
I adhered a panel of Full of Life 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered the layered panel to the front of a Blueberry Bushel card base. I kept this flat since the rosette adds lots of bulk to the card front. I used the rosette die from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go dies to cut two sections of Full of Life DSP and folded along the score lines (it’s so easy!). I adhered the ends together and flattened it out. I used hot glue in the center to hold the rosette – this worked so much better than the last time when I tried to use liquid glue. But I did use liquid glue to adhere the rosette to the card – lots of liquid glue!!
I used the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle to make a cover for the rosette center. I used the pinked circle to cut Daffodil Delight, the angled petal die to cut a section of Full of Life DSP and the curved petal to cut Blueberry Bushel card stock. I layered these and adhered them together with liquid glue and adhered it to the card with lots of liquid glue to cover the rosette center.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set using Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White and cut it out with the short, fat Stylish Shapes banner die. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I made a loopy bow from white baker’s twine and tucked it under the rosette, adhering it with glue dots. I finished the card with glossy dots.
For the inside panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go stamp set using Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White. I stamped the sparkles in the corner using different color Stampin’ Write markers and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Such a cheerful and colorful Birthday card! The rosette does add a lot of bulk to the card front, so it can’t be mailed, but it’s sure to bring a birthday smile. After making this card, I’m imagining using the rosette from the Stampin’ Up! Round We Go bundle with holiday designer series paper to make backgrounds for Christmas ornaments and fancy tags. Stay tuned!
