Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Easter Wishes!

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! He is Risen! Happy Easter to you! This morning we will be at Sunrise Service in a few minutes, then a breakfast at church, then Sunday School, then Easter Worship Service, then home for our family dinner and Easter Egg Hunt! Yay! Family time is the BEST!!!! Hope you get to spend your day with your loved ones!

Quickly before I head to church I want to share some of the gorgeous butterfly swaps I received and snapped photos of at last weeks' St Louis Stampin' Up! Regional.

And last but not least my dear friend and downline, Linda Reaney! She combined Papillion Potpourri stamped butterflies with Elegant Butterfly punches and Bitty Butterfly punches, then added "happy birthday" stamp from the Sneak Peek New Catalog Set we received at Leadership, Sketched Birthday!

That's it for today! Hope your day is filled with fun & family like mine will be! I have the Easter baskets, eggs, and candy all ready to go and most of my dinner is ready to put the finishing touches on when we get home from church, so it should also be relatively stress-free!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up!Technique: Spotlighting with the Swallowtail!

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday Stampers! Today I want to show you the second card for the Techniques part of my class tomorrow. This card uses the Swallowtail single "background" sized stamp and the butterfly punches to create the "spotlighting" effect:

While the Spotlghting technique is not new, I have never seen anyone use a punch other than a cirlce or a square. Truth be told, this is a technique that I actually woke up thinking about a few weeks ago, so I'm very glad to have a chance to get this idea down on paper! I used the Elegant Butterfly and the Bitty Butterfly punches to achieve this effect.

I finished off the inside with the butterfly stamp in the Sale-a-bration set, Bloomin' Marvelous, and a phrase from You are Loved.

Seems my stamping lately has been dominated by Island Indigo, but I love this color! I'm definitely going to miss it when Stampin' Up! retires this color at the end of May.

That's all for today! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!
