Stamp Off Butterfly Gala with Poppy Parade

Hey Stampin friends!  Susan, Buffy and I are back
for a Stamp Off Rectangles challenge.  Stampin' Up! has many products that  work for this challenge.

I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies, to 
create a DSP backdrop for the sentiment.   The Peaceful 
Poppies DSP has many rich colors that allow you to
coordinate with preferred colors.  My fav colors are Poppy 
Parade, and the wonderful Noble Peacock Foil,
so that is how I designed my rectangles card!

I used the sentiment from Butterfly Gala and cut it out
with another Stitched Rectangles Die.

I hope that this card has given you some creative inspiration,
and urge you to check out the wonderful cards
created by Buffy and Susan!

Lastly, be well.

Inspiring Irises

I am happy to say that Inspiring Iris will be moving
forward to the 2020-21 SU catalog.  I love this set because
it is a quick and easy way to send an uplifting card.
In this example, I stamped the Iris and then colored them
with Retiring In Colors using the "smoke" stamp from 
the Geared Up Garage set (also moving forward to 2020-21).
I realize that there are stamps to color the Iris, but 
sometimes you have to deviate from the obvious plan!

Butterfly Wishes

Butterfly Wishes on page 16 in the 2020-21 catalog.
I like this set because it has an "artistic" look to it.
You can add the butterflies, to add a 3D layer.
It's a good thing!
