#tgifc200 On the Wings of Inspiration - Bunches of Butterflies

Hello Friday!  We have survived our second week of the "Snowpocalypse" and it looks like we may be entering week 3...gross!  Doesn't Mother Nature know it's baseball season?!?!  
It's a good thing we have a spring-feeling TGIF Challenges for our 200th Challenge this week.  It's all about butterflies!  I can't wait to see the bright and colorful butterflies soon!

Stampin' Up! has provided us with some beautiful coordinating products in this years Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs!  The Butterfly Gala stamp set and Botanical Butterfly DSP are so GOOD!  I love that they punch pairs up with some of the DSP images.  I know the punch is unavailable at this time, but rumor is that it will be in the 2019-2020 annual catalog.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Botanical Butterfly DSP, Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Set ~ Butterfly Gala, Incredible Like You 

Other Supplies ~ Butterfly Duet Punch, Petal Burst Embossing Folder, Faceted Dots, Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon

I am so sad that they Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil paper is no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration reward.  Maybe this is another great product that we will see again in the annual catalog...fingers crossed!  I used a bit of the Grapefruit Grove under my sentiment and for a little added touch to my butterfly.  Swoon!

The Grapefruit Grove Faceted Dots were just right for tying everything together on this fluttery-butterfly card!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm sending warm wishes to everyone who is suffering through this late winter and I hope you'll send some my way too!

Happy Stamping!

So Glad We're Friends ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to Monday Montage!!!  We have another fabulous hop in store for you this week!  Make sure you click on the links below so you don't miss any of the creations...we promise you will love them all! 

What do you do when your BFF isn't able to make it for a visit due to the stupid flu virus invading your house and horrible winter conditions?  You spend the day FaceTime stamping! And that is just what Wendy and I did this weekend.  It wasn't quite the same as stamping together in the same room, but it sure makes you thankful for technology when you can't be together in person! My crazy family made sure to make Wendy feel like she was here too by popping in to my craft room every so often to say hi :-)  I think we both managed to make 3-4 cards during our marathon FaceTime crafting time...yay for us!  

I haven't given Incredible Like You much attention since coming home from OnStage, so I pulled it out and put it to good use with this splashy background that I've had sitting on my desk for a few weeks.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Glossy White, Grapefruit Grove

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove, Granny Apply Green

Stamp Set ~ Incredible Like You

Other Supplies ~ Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Silver Metallic Thread

The layout for this creation was inspired by the latest Fab Friday Challenge. Such a fun sketch!

Next stop on the hop is my friend Cathy...I always love all of her awesome creations! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on backwards to the amazingly talented Amy...her stamping style is amazing!  

Thanks you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Incredible Like You - Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek

Hello stamping friends! I'm back from sunny Orlando in freezing Walla Walla!  I had high hopes of posting while I was at OnStage, but due to the fact that I was having too much fun, it didn't happen.  I hope you'll forgive me!

Stampin' Up! spoiled us with some awesome prize patrol giveaways and I'm sharing one of my favorite stamp sets from the upcoming Occasions Catalog.  The Incredible Like You stamp set pairs with a beautiful project kit that I can't wait to get my hands on!  Until then, I will share what I've made with the stamp set.

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Gold Glimmer

Ink ~ Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Coastal Cabana, Memento

Stamp Set ~ Incredible Like You

Have a terrific Tuesday!
