I am so glad that Stampin’ Up! now carries the Big Shot and for the Texture Plates and Textured Impressions Folders. They add so much to your cards. You can take a plain piece of cardstock and make it look so elegant very quickly.

For this card we used Tea Party DSP, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Whisper White CS and the Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder. I did use the Certainly Celery Twill Tape that was in last year’s SAB catalog because I wanted a wider ribbon on it that I had available. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the flowers that are stamped lightly on the tag are from Vintage Vogue, which is in the Occasion Mini Catalog.

I ended up CASEing all of these cards from ones that were shared on Sudsol, which is a site for demos to share ideas with each other. There are so many times that I feel like I have no MOJO. So I visit Sudsol to get ideas for my projects. Sometimes that is so much easier than coming up with my own. When I CASE a card, I tend to change colors and sometimes even stamps sets that I use.

For this card, rather than stamping the butterfly from Great Friend and then having to cut it out, I used the NEW Beautiful Wings Stampin’ Up! Embosslits Die to make the butterflies. I love this new die. It is so cute and makes embossed butterflies so quickly.

This card is done using the Big Shot and some punches. The background texture is from the Backgrounds 1 Stampin’ Up! Texturez Plates. The leaves were made with the Little Leaves Sizzlits Die. The flowers are from the Simple Flower Embosslits Die. Then I used the Trio Flower Punch for the flower centers. The final touch was to punch some Whisper White with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.

This card was so fund to make. I used our Sketch Challenge in Sudsol for last week to design this card. The background is stamped with the NEW Vintage Vogue stamp set. The edge of the tag was punched with Pinking Hearts Border Punch. I really love the beautiful border that this punch makes.
