Last Chance for Butterfly Brilliance Bundle

All the savvy Stampin’ Up! crafters know that bundles are one of our best ways to save. A number of bundles from the 21-22 Annual Catalog are retiring, but their components will continue to be in the catalog. What does this mean? It means you have just a short time to save 10% by purchasing the bundle before it is no longer available.

Butterfly Brilliance is a perfect bundle for getting a lot done in a single turn of the Stamp Cut and Emboss machine. The stamp is a large format, and the images fit into a single die yielding 6 butterflies with one crank! I tried the butterflies with both Stampin’ Blends and Watercolor Pencils, and was surprised how much I preferred the pencils.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Watercolor Pencils Dragonfly Garden
  • Stamps: Butterfly Brilliance, Dragonfly Garden, retired sentiment
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Brilliant Wings dies, Blending Brush, Watercolor Pencils (sets 1 and 2), 21-23 In Color Jewels, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The image is stamped in Sahara Sand. I found the pencils easier to use on this detailed image, and I liked having the ability to shade even in a very small space. By layering colors I could create transitions, and I had a great time choosing colors for this never-found-in-real life butterfly.

To keep the focus on the butterfly, I used a Basic White panel on a Basic White card base. The panel is popped up on dimensionals, as is the butterfly.

This is the version with the Stampin’ Blends. Do you see the difference? What do you think?

I’ll tell you what I think. Blends or pencils, you need this bundle before the chance to save is gone!

January 2022 DIY: Rainbow of Happiness

It’s a drizzly afternoon to end the year, and I’m just finishing my January 2022 DIY Easel Calendar: how could I not choose Rainbow of Happiness to start 2022? It so seldom rains on the dry south side of Maui that we always consider rain a blessing.

  • Stamps: Rainbow of Happiness, Island Vibes (SAB 2022.1)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Soft Seafoam, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Bermuda Bay, Midnight Muse
  • Accessories: Baby Boss, Brilliant Rainbow dies, Stampin’ Write marker, Tombo Multipurpose Glue, my DIY Easel Calendar PDF

I’ve given up trying to print these at home. My little printer has generated so much frustration that I’ve decided to leave this job to the pros and have it printed at a local shop. Why be frustrated when there’s an alternative? I’m looking for ways to make my way a little easier.

We don’t have a stamp that says aloha. Every once in a while there will be one in the catalog, but it never seems to stay for long. Besides, I wanted to curve it, and I wanted to have an entire phrase. Don’t be afraid of hand-writing, my crafty friends! It’s the ultimate personalization.
