Sparkly Four Feathers

I found this beautiful card that was featured at Convention. I knew I had to make my own version of it!

I changed up the placement of the sentiment and feathers a bit. I wanted to use the sentiment from Kinda Eclectic, but it was too tall to put on top of the feathers. It would have completely covered most of them! Instead I made it a banner and placed it at the bottom of the card. I also changed the colors, but kept the idea of a sparkly feather for the center. The feathers and the sentiment banner are all popped up on dimensionals to give visual interest.

Sea Street Non-nautical Colors

Two more cards from Friday night's crafting session. These two I CASEd directly from the source. I really enjoyed the design and the non-nautical colors. Both cards feature paper from the Moonlight DSP stack. Really loving those color combinations. And I was excited to use the Sea Street stamp set with something beyond red and blue.

My version

I love how this one turned out. I CASEd the card, but slightly changed the placement of the pieces, the patterns for the banners, and the octopus ink color. I love the appearance of water with the Lost Lagoon patterned pattern and the Hello Honey fish add just the right about of visual interest for the octopus.

Card #2

My version

For my second non-nautical color card, I loved the clean and simple look of the original card so much, I had to CASE it. I changed up the sentiment and didn't add the background stamped image. Overall I adore this card. I love the combo of Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, and Basic Gray. Very cute and easy!

Kinda Eclectic Swap Card

My Stampin' Up demo FB group decided to do a new catalog swap for June-July. We all had to pick one new stamp set to highlight in our cards. We then had to use that stamp set to create the same card to send to all the other demos participating (7 in this case). All materials used had to be current SU products.

I choose to use Kinda Eclectic. Flipping through the new catalog for the first time, Kinda Eclectic immediately caught my eye. The set is a bit abstract, but with a great variety of shapes. Even before I received my stamp set, I knew I wanted to incorporate some type of shine. I tried heat embossing on the gold foil paper, but it didn't turn out very well. I scrapped that idea and went with staz-on ink onto the gold foil. I love that the stamp isn't completely solid. The entire effect of the card is very rustic.
