I’m making this tea bag gift idea today with cardstock and ribbon from the retiring in colours.

Using a 4 by 8 inch piece of cardstock will allow two to be made from one sheet.

On the short side – Score at 1 and 1¼

On the long side – Score at ¼, ½ and 3¾

Rotate and score the same measurements (inches). This should create a ½ “spine” section in the middle.

To decorate, I secured coordinating ribbon and added designer series paper.

The Heartfelt Hexagon and Circle punches created the sentiment topper for the front.

Bags and Boxes using the same Measurements!

Hello Everyone!

Do you have designer series paper to use up? For today’s project I’m sharing these bags and boxes made from 6×6 paper.

I’m working with the 2024 In Colour DSP pack.

Start by scoring at 1 and 5 inches

Rotate 90 degrees

Score at 1, 2½, 3½ and 5 inches.

How the tabs are cut, will determine whether the final project becomes a bag or a box.

You can see how to complete each version in my video tutorial….

Each project was finished with coordinating Bordered Ribbon. The tags were created by layering a Modern Oval or a Circle punch on top of a Country Corner die cut.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Crafty Challenge Insta-hop March 2025 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you the card I shared over on Instagram for this month’s Crafty Challenge….

You can hop through all the projects from my post @stampinwithinkybutterfly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used the embossing resist technique for the coloured panel, but I added ink blending both before and after the embossing powder.

Doing this gives both lighter and darker tones of the same colour.

The Mini Corrugated embossing folder adds texture to the background

I love the detail in the Textured Notes bundle, I used these tomount the sentiment.

Monochromatic Card Design with Beautiful Butterflies!

Hello Everyone!

More scrap busting today with this card design. There are lots of ways to adjust this to make it your own, I hope you like the idea.

The background was created with the Elements of Text stamp set.

A piece of designer series paper was added over the top. For my card this measured 3 by 1½ inches.

The Mini Corrugated embossing folder added texture to a ¾ inch strip of Basic White.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The butterflies were stamped and die cut using coordinating ink and cardstock.

A skinny scrap of cardstock was just right for the sentiment which I tucked in behind the larger butterfly.

Iridescent Faceted Gems added some sparkle!

Here are some more samples using the 2024 in colours…

My background was an accidental creation. I had inked the Painted Stripes stamp with rainbow colours but when I spritzed it to clean up, I decided to put some watercolour paper over it.

I also used the new Pattern of Friendship stampz for the sentiment. I embossed a Modern Oval punch with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder.

A pop of black was added with twine and Neutral Matte Dots.
