You Move Me Bundle

The Stampin Up You Move Me Bundle is super cool.  Unfortunately it is no longer available for sale in the SUp new 2018-19 catalog. But I have seen these sets on EBAY and you can buy it there.  I've been wanting to make cards using the set since I got the set.

 It was not a simple thing, however!  One thing you must know, it is imperative that you practice with the stamps and try to line up the two corresponding images (either the butterflies or humming birds) and see how to get it right.  Make sure you cut the window die first too, so you can see how your stamping works.  I did use the Hampton Arts Stamp Platform and it helps to make sure I'd lined up the images properly.

I used the Lawn Fawn 6" X 6" Perfectly Plaid- Spring to cut one of the windows out of.  I actually ended up cutting that window die out of the navy blue solid paper so it shows up better.  It was not as nice when I used the lighter colors for the window die.  It was hard to decide if I wanted to have the cards open up to the side or at the top, but finally it was decided that the side fold on the card bases is the way to go.  

Using the dies was a problem as they were manufactured exactly opposite to the stamped designs!.  But, no worries I just held the stamped paper up to the light and taped the dies onto it .  I'll also apply to the Co to get my refund for this nearly useless die set.

Did I already mention that you MUST practice with these stamps?  I  did, ok, don't skip this part!  Use scratch paper to do it and keep it handy to stamp off the color first before using the smallest of the two images (either the butterflies or humming birds)

The final cards also used a few of the smaller die cut embellishments from the set and they turned out nicely.   I did add some sparkle wit the Wink Of Stella pens I own to the stamped images to make them shine.  I found a couple of Unbranded butterfly dies that could go well also.  

The end results of all my efforts:
