Stampin’ Up! Floral Wings in Silver & Gold

I used the Stampin’ Up! Floral Wings Host Exclusive stamp set to create my card to share today.  And with the background calling for two strips across it, I couldn’t help but add some of the Sale-a-bration Metallics Glitter Tape that will be available starting tomorrow!

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #223.

I started by adhering strips of the silver and gold Metallics Glitter Tape (Sale-a-bration item available Feb 16) to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

I stamped the outline butterfly image from the Floral Wings stamp set (Host Exclusive item) in VersaMark ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, sprinkled it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  Then I stamped the flower image from the Floral Wings stamp set over the butterfly image in VersaMark Ink, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I stamped the leaf image over the flowers in Wild Wasabi ink, then cut the butterfly out with the matching Bold Butterfly Framelits die.

I adhered a few Glue Dots on the back of the butterfly die cut, then looped some Gold and Silver Metallic Threads and adhered them to the Glue Dots.  I adhered the butterfly die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then I pulled a strand of Whisper White Baker’s Twine through a Vintage Faceted Designer Button, tied a bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot to the butterfly.

I stamped the banner image from the You’re So Lovely photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a Whisper White card stock panel, sprinkled it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Floral Wings stamp set on the banner in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I cut the banner out with the matching Large Numbers Framelits Die and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the leaf image from the Floral Wings stamp set in Wild Wasabi ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock, then stamped the flower images over it in VersaMark Ink.  I sprinkled the flower images with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed them before adhering the panel inside the card.

You can find a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.

I do have one more little thing to share…my daughter wanted to make a chocolate cake with powdered sugar sprinkles for Valentine’s Day.  We decided to try out the Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits die to see if it would work as our stencil, so we cut a few from wax paper, placed them on the cake and sprinkled the powdered sugar.  It worked!  She was quite proud of her masterpiece and the cake was yummy too!  🙂
