SU! Butterfly Basics Bundle

Say that three times fast – it’s a tongue twister for sure! I made this page using the Butterfly Basics Bundle stamps and dies and a couple of punches.

The bigger butterflies are made with the thinlets, and they cut really easily. I have tried using waxed paper between the die and the paper and without and both ways work well. I love the middle-sized butterfly the best so far.

The stamp set is really versatile and I used the stamps with what I call “the very forgiving technique”. Especially when you use a nature-inspired stamp this technique lets you stamp without worrying about being exact with your stamping. All you do is stamp twice after inking and before re-inking. It also shows some depth. I love that fern stamp!su-layout-1-web

The small butterfly coordinates with the small butterfly punch and I really love that there are always new designs that work with previous products. The other punch I used is the Hearts Border punch.su-layout-2-web

Here is the photo of the clear bundle – it’s 15% off when you buy the stamps and framelits together. Check out the quote, I’ve not heard it before but I really like it: “There is nothing in the caterpillar that tells you it is going to be a butterfly.” What project could you use that quote on?

New Bundle from Stampin’ UP!

petal-potpourri-2-webThese flowers are from the new stamp set Petal Potpourri and they are punched with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. You can save 15% if you buy them together as a bundle. I like how you can easily layer the dot and smaller flower to add dimension to your project. The dot and small flower coordinate with punches also to make things quick and easy all the way around (1/2″ circle punch and 1-1/4″ circle scallop punch).
