Waterfall Cards

So lately I have really got on this Waterfall Technique card kick.  I really love the movement!  So, here are some examples of the different waterfall cards I made recently.  For a tutorial on waterfall cards, click here to go to Split Coast Stamper's tutorial.

The first two cards show are in the lineup for my first club meeting:).  I am very excited to share these with my new club members.
 This waterfall card was made using Stampin' UP!'s Nature Walk Stamp set.  The colors are Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla.  I was going for a card that could be for either a man or a woman.  I used the Houndstooth Embossing Folder from Stampin' UP!
 I love all of the little monsters from Stampin' UP!'s Make a Monster stamp set and I thought this would be a great way to showcase the stamp set.  The colors for this card are Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White.  The background was done using the Stripes Embossing Folder from Stampin' UP!

Thanks for looking!

I am not putting a ton of directions on these posts in order to save time, but if you have a specific question, leave me a comment and I will get back to you.   I am posting quite a few pictures though so hopefully between those and the list of ingredients, it works pretty well :).
This card uses the new Papillion Potpourri Stampin’ UP! stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly Punch.   The color combination for this card is just all of the new 2012-2014 In-Colors and Whisper White.  I used the new In-Color Dahlias to add a little pop to the Gumball Green butterfly.

Papillion Potpourri Card

Hello everyone!  I have been working on projects using new products from the 2012-2013 Stampin’ UP! Catalog and I wanted to share some of my creations!  Here is another card I’m posting…keep checking back as I plan on posting quite a few more new cards!

I am not putting a ton of directions on these posts in order to save time, but if you have a specific question, leave me a comment and I will get back to you.   I am posting quite a few pictures though so hopefully between those and the list of ingredients, it works pretty well :).

This card uses the new Papillion Potpourri Stampin’ UP! stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly Punch.   The color combination for this card came right out of the Stampin’ UP! Color Coach – what a handy tool!  The Summer Starfruit new In-Color for the 2012-2014 years was the inspiration for making this card.  I also love our expanded collection of Framelits!  They are so easy to store and use and for about the same price as one Big Shot Die, you get multiple shapes.  I used the Bitty Banners Framelits on this card with the coordinating Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set.

Lately, Stampin’ UP! has been encouraging demonstrators to take a card that would be useable during a class or workshop and then “Step-It-UP” using more layers, embellishments, and tools.  So I took this card and “Stepped-It-UP” using Vintage Designer Faceted Buttons (SO PRETTY!), more layers, and a few more tools.  

Papillion Potpourri Card Ingredients:

*All products used are Stampin’ UP! unless otherwise noted*
Stamps:                Papillion Potpourri & Itty Bitty Banners
Cardstock:           Baja Breeze, Summer Starfruit, Elegant Eggplant & Whisper White                         
Ink:                        Summer Starfruit, Elegant Eggplant & Baja Breeze
Tools:                    Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits & Fancy Fan Embossing Folder
Punches:             1 3/8” Circle Punch & Elegant Butterfly Punch
Misc:                     Stampin’ Dimensionals

“Step-It-UP” Version:    Fabulous Phrases, Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons, Whisper White Baker’s Twine, Modern Label Punch & 1” Square Punch

This card uses the new hostess set, A Cherry On Top Stampin’ UP! stamp set.   This card was designed with Make-and-Take in mind so it is simple, but fun.   The Raspberry Ripple new In-Color for the 2012-2014 years gave a nice pop of color for the background using the color spritzer .

 This card uses the new Moving Forward Stampin’ UP! stamp set.   For this card, I was looking for clean lines and a very “boy” card.  I love the way it turned out!  The Midnight Muse  new In-Color for the 2012-2014 years worked great with Bashful Blue to create a nautical theme.

 This card uses the new Everything Eleanor Stampin’ UP! stamp set.  What a beautiful floral set with wonderful elements too!  I wanted a fast and easy to make card for a club so this is what I came up with.  By removing the Large Scallop Edgelit border, this would be a really easy make-and-take as well.  For this card, I used the Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit  new In-Color for the 2012-2014 years.
