Clean & Simple Blog Hop; Pretty Pop-Up dies

Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop!  The theme is Clean & Simple projects. 

Control freak welcome Save

You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog.  I'm sure you loved her unique projects. 

For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects.  I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project:

It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink.  These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.  

I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers.  To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool.  I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies.  I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers!  Ha!

I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper. 

I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.

The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer. 

You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below:

  • Don’t miss out on our best deal!

    I want to ask you 3 questions:

    1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
    2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
    3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early?  And order products early too?!

    If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening.  I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I'm also sharing how I got started.

    Here's a link to the event.  Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on. 

    For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here.

    I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses!  They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it.  Ever!

    Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class!  And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

    Here are their most popular reasons:

    1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
    2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
    3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else. 
    4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else. 

    Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What? 

    The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!

    Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice.  You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies.  Go here to get yours!

    She used Petal Pink & Gray Granite card stock. I believe she used Black Memento ink for the stamped images.  The pretty image is colored in with Blends markers; so pretty!
