Here is another card made with the Stampin' Up!™ set called Papaya Collage. I embossed the leaves with Wild Wasabi embossing powder on a panel of Summer Starfruit. The butterflies were embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder and cut out. The paper flower was die cut with the Fun Flowers Bigz die using First Edition Designer Series Paper, sponged with some Cherry Cobbler ink and distressed; an antique brad holds the layers together. The card base is Soft Suede. When it is used on the Summer Starfruit paper, the Wild Wasabi embossing powder almost looks like the retired Stampin' Up! color Sage Shadow.
Well off to bed, I have worked 39 hours in the past 4 days and my everything hurts! I am off tomorrow and I am sleeping in until... well just until I feel like it! LOL!
The card base of this card is one of my favorite neutrals, River Rock. It was an In-Color from Stampin' Up!™ that was retired and brought back during the Color Renovation a couple of years ago. When it retired I purchased 3 packs just in case...and I just opened the last pack.
I embossed the frame and bird from Papaya Collage with Pewter embossing powder and the flower with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. And yes I did fussy cut the frame.
Just a quick card today! I CASE'd this card from someone-I just can't remember who...so if it is yours just let me know and I will give you credit. I used two of the new In-colors from Stampin' Up!™, Gumball Green and Midnight Muse. The stamp is from the Stampin' Up! set called Papaya Collage and was stamped 3 times without re-inking. Gumball Green is a nice bright updated green.
So, how hot is it in your neck of the woods??? It's tooo hot here in Kansas City. Over 100 degrees several days in a row and looks like it is going to stay that way for a while! We need rain too, my garden is parched. Tried doing a rain dance but...nothing! I heard that if you sleep with a spoon under your pillow the next day it will snow so maybe if I sleep with a fork under my pillow it will rain?? Or maybe I will just wake up with a headache?
The main image is the rose stamp from the Stampin' Up!™ set called Papaya Collage. It was colored with Riding Hood Red and Gumball Green Stampin' Write markers and stamped on Naturals Vanilla paper. The little flowers were punched with the Boho Blossoms punch (such a handy punch!) The doily was cut with the Paper Doily Sizzlet Die. I know lots of crafters have had trouble with this die because there are lots of little "hanging chads" and it does take a little bit of effort. However, it is called crafting and should require a little effort on our part, I mean remember the days when we folded our paper and cut out hand-made snowflakes???
I put packing tape across the face of my die, (yep, packing tape across the foam side of the sizzlet) sticky side down and that helps the doily come off the die more easily. Anyway, I like doilies and I like being able to make a doily out of whatever paper I choose!
I spritzed the entire card with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz™. 
Yummy! New stamps, new colors, new toys!!! This is my newest stamp set called Papaya Collage from the new 2012-2013 Stampin' Up!™ catalog. I used Stampin' Write markers to ink the rose stamp, cut it out and used Dimensionals™ to pop it up. There are three of the new In-Colors on this card, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit and Raspberry Ripple. Here is my inspiration card, made by Sandy Mathis.
I can't wait to emboss the frame stamp-I'm thinking Pewter embossing...
