Dec 29, 2018 | Butterfly Gala Stamp Set
I’m really happy with the splash of colour in this card. I have been creating samples for the launch of the Occasions Catalogue on 3 January and wanted to do a bright card using the fabulous Brusho Crystals to get an intense colour (I think I succeeded!) and the Butterfly Gala Bundle (stamp set and duet punch.
I used all colours of Brushos in the Stampin’ Up collection except the green as I wanted a brighter green so I mixed blue and yellow and I think I achieved Granny Smith Green. The Brusho was applied to Shimmery White Card although it is hard to see in this pic.
The Butterflies were coloured with an aquapen and inks:
Blueberry Bushell, Granny Smith Green, Mango Melody and Lovely Lipstick.
I created the rectangular frame using the Stitched Rectangle Framelits which are also new in the Occasions Catalogue. They have stitching on BOTH cut edges although it is hard to see here.
The greeting is in the Butterfly set and has been embossed in White.
I’d love to know what you think of this card

And another Butterfly Gala card.
Colours are Highland Heather, Black and Whisper White. Can you see that I have used a different butterfly and a different greeting from the set? I’m not sure what style you would call this one, but I like it. I used Highland Heather and an aquapen to get the colour under the greeting. I rather like that effect. Hope you like this simple card. It came together in a flash.

Dec 19, 2018 | Butterfly Gala Stamp Set
Can you count the number of new products used on this card? Lots!!!
Colours are Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White and Basic Black. I have also used the luscious Pinewood Planks 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
So have you found all the new stuff? Firstly the Stamp Set, called Butterfly Gala. It is a new 18 piece photopolymer set which allows for 2 step stamping and will be found in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. There are 4 pairs of butterfly designs and several greetings, including the one used here and it has a coordinating punch, the Butterfly Duet Punch. These will be available as a bundle which forms part of the Gingham Gala Suite, and includes co-ordinating Gingham DSP, sequins and White Flax ribbon.
The butterflies have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured in Grapefruit Grove, the same colour as the Organdy Ribbon. This is a SaleABration offering for 2019 and includes 5 colours of ribbon.
And, last but not least, the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. These were used to create the Black frame. I love them already. Maybe you can’t see in the photo but there is stitching on both the inside and outside edge. The frame was created with 2 nesting dies.
I finished the card by adding a rhinestone and Wink of Stella to the butterflies.
So, that’s 4 new products coming in January.
I hope you like the card. Thanks for looking. I’d love to know what you think!
