NEW VIDEO TUTORIAL: Lighting the Way Firefly Card!

Have you seen the Lighting the Way Bundle? It’s adorable! This set is all about fireflies. Both the stamp set and the coordinating dies have three different sizes of fireflies, and the stamp set even has some circles to use as the lights the fireflies emit! There’s also a nice lantern die.

For my card I decided to use the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper (FREE with your order of $50 or more during Sale-a-Bration!). I cut a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of the paper that just happens to have an area of yellow (Daffodil Delight) that could look like the light of the firefly. I positioned my large firefly so that the yellow on the paper is at the lower part of the firefly 🙂 To see how I did this, watch my video tutorial below.

I really love the dies in this Bundle. Why? Well, for the mini fireflies they give you three of the same dies so that you can cut three at a time – love it! And, the largest firefly is not a stamp but is a combination of dies that allow you to really put together a firefly with colors of your choice.

Look closely at the large firefly: the body itself is Daffodil Delight but all you see is the lower section with the embossed lines; the wings are cut from Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered to the body; then the upper body is cut from Rich Razzelberry cardstock and adhered in the center to the body. When you’re done, you have a darling tri-colored firefly!

The branches are stamped in Old Olive ink and cut with the coordinating die. They are tucked behind the circle (cut with the Layering Circles Dies) which is stamped with the sentiment using Rich Razzleberry ink. A bow of white Baker’s Twine is also tucked under the circle. And then the mini fireflies are scattered around and adhered with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
