Colourful Birthday Card with Sketched Butterflies!

Hello Everyone,

I’m sharing this sweet card today. The brief was to make something colourful, so I have pulled out the happy 2024 In Colours.

The coordinating 6×6 designer series paper was cut to 3 inches, and then I took ½inch strips and added to a piece of Basic White cardstock.

This was layered with Basic Black cardstock and added to a card base.

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

Butterflies were stamped and die cut and added to the corresponding strip.

The sentiment was added at the bottom with black ink.

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’!

Creating a Dimensional Background with Nested Essentials Dies!

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another background idea for you, this time using the Nested Essentials dies!

Six die cuts are needed, I used 3 in Basic White, 2 in Pool Party and 1 in Night of Navy.

The Basic White shapes were adhered first. The centre one was added last and helps with positioning the coloured pieces.

The sentiment is taken from Wonderful Thoughts and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink.

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

A combination of Thoughtful Wishes and Sentimental Park created the foliage and flowers. Some Wink of Stella pulled some colour from the stamped outline.

This card used Calypso Coral and Petal Pink, not my favourite colours, but look great together in this layout.

I also creating this version when I was designing today’s project. This one uses the smaller shape in Basic White. The flowers are in Melon Mambo and the sentiment in Pebbled Path.
