Spring Projects

I'm ready for spring weather!  Here are some projects I 've been working on with the Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper

SPRING Banner & Treat Gifts

I embossed the edges of the Scalloped Circle (punch) with a mixture of Iridescent Ice & Clear Embossing Powders for a little extra shimmer.  The other punches I used were the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" circle punches and Eyelet Border punch.

I added the Beyond the Garden DSP to On Board Sheets and cut the butterflies with the Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die.  The butterfly wings are stamped with the coordinating Fabulous Florets stamp set in VersaMark ink.  The Lovely Letters Alphabet stamp set added for an elegant look to my banner. 
The ribbons are 3/8" Taffeta in Daffodil Delight and Whisper White, and
5/8" Satin in Daffodil Delight. 

I just love how Stampin' Up! color coordinate so easily! 

I used these Pirouline chocolate wafer tins to wrap the Beyond the Garden DSP around. 

The flower toppers were made by punching 6 Scallop Circles of card stock in the coordinating DSP colors (Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo) and running them through the Crimper several times (like 10-12 times) and crumpling them up, flatting back out and inserting a Flower Brad (which also coordinate!) with the Paper-Piercing Tool. 

For the ribbon, used the brand new Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon (available April 1!), Everyday Enchantment Ribbon (hurry! only available with Sale-A-Bration, which ends March 31st!), and Melon Mambo 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon.

I also made some card sets...

After cutting out the Whisper White Top Note die cut and embossing one edge with the Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with the Big Shot, I stamped the image with the Fabulous Florets stamp set and embossed the flower with Melon Mambo EP, cut it out and adhered it with Dimensionals.  I also cut along the right side of the embossed image on the Top Note to show off more of the pretty Beyond the Garden DSP.
