How to Stamp Watercolor Wings Butterfly set - Video Tutorial
June 08, 2015
I had SO much fun stamping with this amazing Watercolor Wings stamp set... You could probably guess that this would be one of the very first stamp sets I was going to use in the new Stampin' Up! catalog.. right? If you guessed that.. you are right! :)
Today I have a VIDEO for you to show you my tips for stamping this amazing Butterfly stamp set.. enjoy!
Click the photo below to watch the video, or, you can watch it on YouTube here.
I found it helpful to stamp some little color combo "cheat sheets" for myself and label them so that I would remember what colors I liked together.. you can see them all below in this post.. feel free to copy them!
In my video above, you can see how I have die cut the butterflies in different ways with the Stampin' UP! Butterflies Framelits and the Bold Butterfly Thinlits.
You can combine them in so many different ways to get so many fun looks!
Butterfly Color Combo TIP: Search on Pinterest or Google for "butterflies" and then use photos as your color combo inspiration!
Find the Watercolor Wings stamp set on pg 75 of the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! catalog

They are all so beautiful! I think the wisteria wonder is my favorite. It's so unique!

They are all just gorgeous! I would have a hard time picking a favorite, but I've been leaning to a lot of yellow and orange lately.

Patty, thanks for the color combos. I never know what colors to put together. You make stamping so easy . . .

Thank you for making this video. It is so informative! I was skeptical of the stamp set, but now it is on my list of must haves. I like the Bermuda Bay one also. What a boon to understanding how it all goes together this is! Plus your video on how to cut these butterflies out is very, very helpful. You're the best!

Patty, Thank you so much for the video about stamping the Watercolor Wings stamp set. I received mine last night and was a little frustrated because I couldn't figure out a good color combination or get the three stamps lined up correctly. I wondered where I could find help and then woke up this mound found this through Pinterest. You are the absolute best!❤️

Thank you Patty. I learned a great deal from watching your video, which by the way I have embedded into my blog post. I wanted to give you credit for the "how to" and didn't want to reinvent the wheel. The samplers were very helpful, and I have cased some of them, and made some of my own. Thank you, thank you.

I have fallen in love with this set. Thank you for this video because I wasn't sure how to use it. I do have one question: How do you use that little butterfly stamp right below the 3 dot stamp? It's to the left of the row of borders, above the bottom right butterfly. Is it meant to be layered with that bottom row of butterflies? I'd love a sample showing how to integrate that stamp.

Thank you for the inspiration, Patty. I did one in Pacific Point and Black and I LOVE it!!

Hi Patty - Great ideas ! Can't wait to try them. Can the self adhesive fun foam be easily removed from the clear block ?

I found your tutorial on PInterest and I LOVE what you did with the stamp set and dies. My favorite one was the butterfly with the Pool Party color combo and the use of the intricate die. I am going to share this link with all my stamping friends so they can see how awesome this video is.
You do a great job of showing the product and what it can do without spending a lot of time talking and not saying anything like many other videos out there. You had everything ready ahead of time including the project sheets and ink pads. *SO AWESOME!* I have seen far too many videos where I had to fast forward through most of it just to get to the point of the video. haha! I didn't fast forward through yours at all! I've subscribed to your videos and will be checking them out. Thanks again!
