It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! Such a pretty color combination for you to try this week!

CUTEST CREW

I haven’t used these little birds in the Cutest Crew stamp set, so thought some colorful birds would be fun!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lost Lagoon was embossed with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and added to the front.
Two 1/2 x 4 trips of Golden Glow and Highland Heather cardstocks were added to the front.
The Scalloped Blooms circle was cut from Basic White cardstock using the die and stamped with the greeting in Basic Black Hybrid Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The row of birds was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Golden Glow, Highland Heather and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the Die and added to the bottom of the scallop circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added at the bottom right of the birds.

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is butterflies!

CUTEST CREW

I looked and looked for butterflies in my current stash of stamps. These Cutest Crew butterflies were so little that I didn’t think I could make an entire background with them…then I thought about a butterfly wreath! It worked!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cute as a Bug DSP was added on the front.
1/2 x 4 strips of Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Highland Heather cardstocks were added to the center area on the front.
I placed a scrap 2″ circle in the center of the 3-1/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Basic White. I used that as a guide to stamp my Cutest Crew butterflies around the circle using Basic Black Hybrid Ink, then removed the circle.
The butterflies were colored with Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.
The greeting from Cutest Crew was stamped with Highland Heather Ink in the center.
A double length of Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the wreath with a Mini Glue Dot.
A trio of Pearlized Faceted Circles were added to the background for a little sparkle.

Isn’t that fun??? I love it! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
