tgifc368 Challenge – Symbols of Fortune & Brilliant Wings
TGIF! It’s time for a SKETCH Challenge!
I love this sketch! When I took to my craft desk to create, I first grabbed my tray of “trash”, aka my previous pieces that didn’t make the cut. I pulled out the a gingko flower die-cut that I leftover and based my card on that. The project uses products from the Symbols of Fortune Suite Collection, the Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set, Brilliant Wings Dies, and the NEW Stylish Shapes Dies.
My favorite part of the Symbols of Fortune Suite Collection is the Color Combinations! It speaks directly to my creative heart.
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Sahara Sand Cardstock. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Layer and adhere the following together as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue:
- Evening Evergreen Cardstock – 1/2 x 5
- Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Paper – 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
- Soft Succulent Cardstock – 1 1/2 x 4
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Mini or Standard) to crop a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the gingko flower from the Good Fortune Dies. Use a Sponge Dauber to add a pop of color with Calypso Coral Classic Ink. Adhere to the the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Crop a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the 2-5/8″ stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals…strategically positioned behind the butterfly die-cuts.
Crop a piece of Basic White Cardstock and a piece of Evening Evergreen Cardstock with the Brilliant Wings Dies. Add Soft Succulent Classic Ink to the wings of the Basic White Butterfly with a Blending Brush. Adhere together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen Classic Ink onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Crop with the Stylish Shapes Die. Snip the end at a slant with Paper Snips. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Embellish with Polished Dots.

Pals Blog Hop – NEW 2022-2024 In Colors & Sweet Songbirds Bundle
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is New 2022-2024 In Colors. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
This adorable 4 1/4 square card showcases the Sweet Songbirds Bundle and the gorgeous Starry Sky 2022-2024 In Color (and a little pop of Parakeet Party).
How much do you love the NEW 2022-2024 In Colors? My favorite? It’s a toss up between Parakeet Party and Starry Sky…and that is a volatile answer. Ask me tomorrow and you will probably get Sweet Sorbet or Tahitian Tide.
Begin by cutting a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4.
Adhere a 3 3/4″ square of Basic White Cardstock to a 4″ square of Starry Sky 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop a piece of Vellum and a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the 3″ and 2 1/4″ circle Stylish Shapes Dies.
Adhere the Basic White circles as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color small circles with the Starry Sky and Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Blends on the back side of the Vellum Cardstock. Add drops of 90 percent Alcohol. Move around with an air tool until you have your desired result. Adhere to the white circles with a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp the Sweet Songbird images in the following colors:
- Birds: Starry Sky
- Beaks & Feet: Crushed Curry
- Signs, Branch, Nest: Soft Suede
- Leaves: Parakeet Parade
- Eyes: White Pen
Stamp the sentiments in Versamark Ink onto the wood signs. Cover with White Basics Embossing Powder. Set with a Heat Tool.
Crop the one bird and wings with the coordinating Songbirds Punch.
Snips the remaining images closely with Paper Snips.
Adhere all as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with White Classic Matte Dots.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created!
Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on June 8th. Our theme will be “CASE the Catalog” when our Design Team creates a project found in the new Annual Catalog and CASE it with their own creative twist.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
