Butterflies, feminine, Stampin' Up!

Butterfly Wings

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a pop through style card. I love butterflies and we have so many to choose from in our current range, but this one is stunning. It is a triple stamp, but it’s photopolymer, so it’s very easy to line them up.

I started with some Lost Lagoon card stock, folding it in half and the the front in half again, but back on itself. Then I die cut the large butterfly framelit but only to the scoreline, as I only wanted the first panel to be cut.

Then I stamped the butterfly two times and cut them out with the coordinating framelits. The first one, I glued to the 2nd panel so the left wing is free through the cut panel.

You can see I have glued the second butterfly on the inside!

The next step was to stamp the dots and with Lost Lagoon ink and add some Bermuda Bay sequins. Lastly, I added some Bermuda Bay Sequin trim and a Pool Party Glitter ribbon bow to the butterfly on the front of the card.

Birthday, feminine, Flowers, Stampin' Up!

Birthday Blossoms

Dear Crafters,

Today I go back to our Annual Catalogue and chose something feminine to work with. Here I used the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and the coordinating Pansy punch!

IMG_5564

My colours are Blushing Bride, Whisper White & Pool Party. I stamped the images and then used my Aqua Painter to colour the flowers. Once dry, I added some Wink of Stella to the centres of the flowers. You can see the shine!

The leaves were stamped and fussy cut and the Pansy Punch makes life easier to cut the pansies!!! These were adhered with dimensionals.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside panel of your card and the envelope!

Circle Fancy Fold card

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a circle fold card. I had seen one on a Facebook page that I am a member of, but there were no instructions, so I went about creating my own.

I started by die cutting the large scallop circle framelit from Lost Lagoon card stock and folding it in half. Then I die cut a smaller circle from the 2014-2016 In Colour DSP stack.

IMG_5570

I then die cut smaller circles again out of Lost Lagoon and Whisper White and adhered these together and then onto the bottom fold of the card.

The next step was die cutting all the leaves and flowers using the Botanical Builder Framelits with Lost Lagoon, Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and So Saffron card stock, glued them together. I added some with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added Wink of Stella to the centres of the flowers, I think you can see it in the photos?! I also added some basic pearls to 2 of the smaller flowers.

Isn’t this different? I love trying new things and not just our usual A5 cards all the time, but it still fits into our C6 envelopes….bonus!

And here is another one I made in black, white and the brights!

Everything Eleanor

Dear Crafters,

Sale-a-bration may be over, but the Occasions & Annual Catalogues still provide us with so much to choose from, so let’s have a look and see what else we can create!

Today I enter a sketch challenge at Just Add Ink, #305!

jaisketch_2018

 

I started with a Crumb Cake card base which I embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF.

I stamped a piece of Whisper White card with Crumb Cake ink using the Everything Eleanor stamp set, before slicing it into 1 1/2″ strips. I sponged the edges with a dauber and the Crumb Cake ink, before adhering it to another piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I wrapped a piece of coordinating ribbon around it and added a bow.

 

IMG_5563

I stamped the flower image 3 times using the masking technique and fussy cut them out. I used my Wink of Stella (clear) brush dipped in some Blushing Bride ink to colour them. I’m not sure you can see the shine in the photos?!!!!

IMG_5560

I stamped the bird in Crumb Cake ink onto Whisper White card stock and fussy cut it and added it to the card with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Dazzling Details to the stamen.

It is school holidays here in Australia and my 9 year old also wanted to have a go at this challenge, so here is her card. She created this all by herself without any help what-so-ever from me. I was quite impressed!

So long, Farewell

Dear Crafters,

Can you believe it is already April? Where has the year gone?

Today I have a cute Farewell card to share with you.  I just love it and it reminds me of the kids movie, UP!

I was commissioned to make a masculine farewell card, and this has been one that I have wanted to make for some time now.

Balloon Bouquet Punch, Masculine, Farewell card, Stampin Up, Occasions 2016

The balloons were made using the Balloon Builder Punch. A piece of gold cording trim behind each and added with dimensionals. The house is a square with a triangle for the roof. The windows were cut from white card and I used my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to draw on the curtains!

Beach Box

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is a twist on using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits from the last Holiday Catalogue to create a beach scene. Who would have thought!!!!

IMG_4648

How cute are the beach boxes?!!!  You’ll notice that I have trimmed some of them to turn them from a church, into a beach box and coloured them in stripes with a Stampin Write Marker.

I also used Stampin Write Markers for the sand and water, but the sky I sponged with Soft Sky ink. The birds are drawn by hand with a marker.

IMG_4653

I added the sequins last. What do you think of my beachy card?

I originally saw this idea while searching on Pinterest, a card by Tracey May. Thanks Tracey for your inspiration!
