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.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

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.

Use Up Those Cardstock Scraps!

Hello Everyone!

If you are anything like me, you probably have a collection of scraps that you just can’t throw away, so today I’m sharing a scrap buster idea.

For my card, I have used ¼ inch strips of In Colour cardstock all cut from pieces from my scrap bin.

The “floating” element also uses acetate that comes with the photopolymer stamps which would normally be thrown away too.

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

Coordinating ink was used to stamp the wording. The block style lettering makes it easy to line up.

Here is the original version of this card using the retiring colours!

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.
