Feature Friday!

UPDATE!!!
I realized after I posted this I forgot to add all the supplies I used! So you'll find them at the bottom!

Is it really TGIF! I'm still playing catch up! I didn't get these projects done until Friday afternoon, but I'm getting there! We've had so much rain lately it's been hard to figure out when would be a good time to get out and do some weeding. Well I finally got some done before the flood gates opened! We now have a flash flood advisory until Saturday morning.

Ok, back to stamping! Since this is a new month for this Friday, I have a new product to share! This bundle was high on my wish list when the new annual catalog came out but I haven't had a chance to play with it until today! This month's product is Abstract Impressions. I was so sad that all my butterflys had retired and then when I saw this bundle, I was so delighted.

So this is the bundle. There is some patterned paper that also coordinates with this and I did use it on both of today's cards. This really looks like a set you could use for a lot of different occasions. It's all about the colors and how dressed up you want your card.

This is the page right out of the catalog. Some of the projects are simple and some are a bit more work, but all are beautiful!

Here is my first card. I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) both of these cards. Stampin' Up! Artisans did a blog hop last month or in June and one of them did a card like this one but used some different colors. I embossed the shimmery card stock with the floral die and then did a watercolor wash over it. Then I did a die cut of the same die from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper.

Here is a close up of the die and wash. I fussy cut "love". This card went together pretty quickly.

This card I CASED from Linda Van Wely-Zwolle. I'm not sure what she used for the background, behind the butterfly, but I used the new Artisan Textures stamp and So Saffron. I also added the gold metallic thread. This card came together VERY quickly.

Thanks for stopping by. I so appreciate it! You can find all the products used on these cards in my STORE or scroll down to find a list of all the supplies used. Make sure to use this month's new VIP Host Code CXWFSKJF. If you have any questions about making these cards, contact me, I'd be more then happy to help.
