My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

SUOC#276 - Favourite Stampset Current/retired


 



Omgoodness it's time for the SUOC#276  and this time it was to use your favourite stampset whether it is current or retired, and I'm so pleased to say that one of my favourites has actually carried over to the new catalogue YAYYYY this makes me so happy. So it had to be done and I had to use it and use some of the new colours and dsp.
I've used a normal size card base but I've cut it so that it opens from the side instead of the bottom, just means you cut the short side of an A4 sheet of card and score on the long side instead of the other way round!
I've used Pale Papaya for the card base and the inside of card layer and then I've used a piece White cardstock and a smaller piece of the beautiful Hand Penned dsp for the front of card layers. 
The lovely die cut rectangle was cut out using the Nature's thoughts dies along with everything else that has been stamped and die cut.
For the Evening Evergreen pieces under the corners of the rectangle I've cut 1" square pieces (2) and then cut them both into triangles before attaching to the reverse side of it using glue. To give this section more depth but not adding dimensionals I've cut a second rectangle out and then attached it to the reverse side of the first one, sandwiching the green corners in between them both and then glued this flat to the card front.
The ferns have been stamped using Soft Succculents ink in first and second generation, this can be done before the rectangle is glued to the card front, but to be honest I just did it when it was attached. The butterfly is stamped using Pale Papapay ink straight onto the rectangel using second generation ink and then first generation for the one tha is die cut out and attached over the other one using glue.

It gives a very soft shadow look to the butterfly.

The feathers I stamped in second generation Garden Green ink, die cut out. The flower is Pool Party ink first generation stamping, this is the only thing I attached to the card front usinga dimensional, and then I just tucked the feathers underneath after giving thema curve using the Bone Folder.
The sentiment is stamped using Evening Evergreen and then using the Snips I've cut them out so they are all individual words, curved two of them with the Bone Folder and glued them all into place.
All that was left for me to do then was to add a few of the really beautiful In Color jewels and the card was finished.


I loved how this card finished up, but then this is one of my absolute favourite stampsets and as I've already said I'm so happy it carried over into the new catalogue!

Hope you enjoyed my card for today and would love if you popped over and took a look at all of the wonderful creations from the other design team members over on SUOC#276
