VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies Card Ideas

As I am writing up this blog post, I'm realizing that the Stampin' Up! Sketched Butterflies stamp set and dies have just sold out. That is the fate of all our Last Chance Favorites that are being discontinued, so make sure to get what you want before they are gone!

Although you can't buy the same stamp set and die set, I hope that you will be inspired by these cards and will recreate them at home using a similar stamp set.

6 Stampin' Up! Flowing Flowers Cards + Sunday Stamping Creative Challenge REVEAL Video

In last week's episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie, we challenged each other to make cards with the same supplies we used to design our own cards. My sister Aimee LaCroix-Slocum joined us for this special challenge episode, so we had three sets of supplies to work with.

We set up some challenge "House Rules": Use any stamp set, inks, tools, etc to create your card. You can die cut/punch from any of the pieces, but you must use EVERY piece as listed and you may NOT use any additional cardstock/paper pieces. Embellish as desired.

Mom (Susan LaCroix) and I added another layer to the challenge by choosing to using the same stamp set for all three cards. Here are the cards that I made using the Flowing Flowers stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. This first card was my design. I used the 2021-2023 In Color Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the rubber stamp to create this multi-colored image. See what Mom & Aimee made.

Measurements

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Soft Succulent Cardstock
• 2-1/2" x 5" Pale Papaya Cardstock
• 4 1⁄4” x 2” Polished Pink Cardstock
• 3" x 3" Heart & Home DSP
• 2 1⁄2” x 3⁄4” Basic White Cardstock
• 3 1⁄2” x 1⁄2” Basic Gray Cardstock

I created this pocket card using Mom's supplies. Her card base was 4-1/4" x 11", so I scored at 1-1/2" and 5-1/2" to create a pocket with a small flap that folds down. I love that all three of us created a different fun fold with this card base! See what Mom & Aimee created.

I was a little hesitant about the supply list that Aimee sent us! I love the bold colors she took from the Waves of the Ocean Designer Paper, but I wasn't sure about the three small pieces. I love the way the card turned out! Aimee and I used a very similar layout, but our cards look very different! See what Aimee & Mom created.

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie (& Aimee!) to see the reveal and watch us each demonstrate our own card!
