I have exciting news to share with you today: Stampin’ Up! has a fabulous bundle from the new 2021 Annual Catalog (available May 4th) that you can order March 2nd! Today’s card is my first sample using Butterfly Bouquet, but my head is swimming, or flying, with ideas.
Brilliant Wings
I began by experimenting with the Brilliant Wings Dies. There were so many, it was hard to decide. Look at the possibilities!
On top of that, the dies can be used to crop the six butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper.
Plus, you can stamp the butterflies from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set in any color, and then use the one-piece die for cutting. I used Memento Black Ink for this first try, and will color them with Stampin’ Blends. Are you beginning to see the many possibilities?
For todays card, I used one of the individual dies, along with the one-piece die, to cut from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper. By cutting a square of designer paper, to accommodate the butterfly, I was able to use the one-piece die as an individual die. I used the one in the lower left-hand corner in the pictures above.
I glued the butterflies together, just on the body, molding the wings with my fingers, so they could fly.
For their background, I used the large Potted Succulents Die to cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock, trimming the top for an interesting border. This was attached with teeny, tiny pin dots of Liquid Glue, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “May the new life of Spring bring you joy” is from the Springtime Joy Stamp Set. It was stamped in Stazon Black Ink, and cut with a potted Succulents Die.
I attached the sentiment and butterflies with Dimensionals, added three Whale Of A Time Sequins, and my first card with this new, exciting set was complete.
Do you love it? I must tell you, the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper, and paper I used for photography, Natural Touch, is only available until May 31, or while supplies last. So, order early to avoid being disappointed.

“Hey there”
I began today’s card by stamping the donkey in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cutting him from the paper along the lines. I used Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends for coloring the donkey, and a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend for the flower.
The donkey is standing in Basic White Cardstock cut with the largest Layering Circles Die, The Garden Green Cardstock vine was cut with a Birds & More Die, and a second cut with the Largest Layering Circles Die, made it fit the white circle perfectly.
For the background, I used the largest Ornate Layers Die to cut Regals 6″X6″ Designer Paper in dotted, Garden Green. This was layered on a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Hey there, friend,” is from the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set, stamped in Garden Green Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die.
After elevating the circle, the donkey, and the sentiment, on Dimensionals, my card was complete.

This is one of many Easter cards I’ll be making with the two stamp sets on page 22 of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. You can see the complete sets, Springtime Joy and Gift Of Hope, in my Product List below.
Little Chick
I began by stamping the cute, little, chick in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I cut him from the paper, and colored him with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, and Pumpkin Pie for his beak.
I love the new Stitched With Whimsy Dies, and thought it would make a good frame for my chick. By using a Layering Squares Die (2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″) to cut the Basic White Cardstock, I didn’t even have to measure.
After cutting, I used Pool Party Ink with a Blending Brush to add a little color.
The band across the middle was made with 6X6 Subtles Designer Paper in a Pool Party dot, cut with an Ornate Layers Die, and again, no measuring. I backed it with black & white True Love Designer Paper to give it a 1/16″ border at the top and bottom.
The background is Fine Art Floral Designer Paper in a Pool Party, brushstroke pattern, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing it to the Pool Party card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I stamped the sentiment.
“Wishing you the blessings of…” is from the Gift Of Hope Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink.
To complete the sentiment, I used a Word Wishes Die to cut the word “Easter” from Pool Party Cardstock. I doubled it for thickness, and glued it to the card front.
The card was complete, after adding a few Woven Threads Sequins to the chick’s square.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
