Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Monochrome Friday – Coastal Cabana!

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you the card I made for this week’s Monochromatic Instahop!

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

This week…. Coastal Cabana!

I partially embossed the background panel on one, and added ink with a blending brush on the other.

The die cut leaves overlapped the “join” and embellished the sentiment cut with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

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’!

In Colour Sympathy Cards

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you the card I shared over on Instagram yesterday. The Creative dice were rolled to give this combination to work with….

At first I wasn’t sure where to take this, especially for sympathy card but I love the results! This combo is Basic Grey and Wild Wheat.

I ended up using the Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty bundles with the new Leaf Collection background stamp.

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

These used Pebbled Path and each of the 2024 in colours … These will be available to purchase from tomorrow (1st May).

The deep colour really makes the accent colour pop!

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Inspire Create Challenge #166 – Something New!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #166 everyone is using the theme of “Something New”!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I have used a selection of new products that will be available to purchase in May!

I’m picked out two new die bundles, Flowers of Beauty and Unbounded Love, to use with a fantastic new 3D embossing folder and new colours too!

You can see how I made it in my You Tube video tutorial…

The embossing folder is huge so it can be used for larger cards, or creating multiple panels in one go.

Using a Basic Beige card base gives the white die cuts more impact.

I love the Unbounded Love dies, these can used as a stand alone set with any of your existing stamp sets.

Here’s an alternative design using a Basic White card base and Basic Beige die cuts!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Introducing the New Stampin’ Up! Colours

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m bringing you sneaky perks at some upcoming products that will be available to customers in May when the new Annual Catalogue goes live!

We have 5 new In Colours (left to right);

Peach Pie
Shy Shamrock
Summer Splash
Pretty in Pink
Petunia Pop

I used a new 3D embossing folder too, this is called Eyelet. I added coordinating ink to create an ombre look to the background.

I used the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and punch for the sentiment.

There is a stunning die cut peeking out from behind the sentiment banner… I am going to be using these dies a lot I suspect! 😂

The In Colour ribbon is lovely and soft and ties into a bow very easily.

We have another colour joining the core range too…. Basic Beige! Sounds boring? I know…. But this is going to be so versatile… I think I’ll need to get another pack!

And look how beautifully it goes with Early Espresso!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Creating Backgrounds using Happy Little Things stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I’m using two fab stamp sets available as online exclusives to make this Celebration card today.

I used all ten of the Brights colour family to stamp this fun background. The gaps were then filled in with the outline image using black ink.

You can see how she made this card in our video tutorial…

I used the Heartfelt Hexagon and Modern Oval punches to cut out the sentiment.

Here’s a monochromatic version using Orchid Oasis cardstock and ink!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Emily Makes a Card for Creative Colour Challenge 135

Hello Everyone,

I’ve not been able to take part in this colour challenge for a while and Emily wanted to have a go too!

There’s a new challenge every Monday!

We have used the Textured Floral stamp set and dies to create our cards.

Emily wanted to stamp a background and make a wreath style topper.

You can see how she made this card in our video tutorial…

The sentiment was cut with the Deckled Circle dies Nd finished with some iridescent rhinestones.

Here’s my card using the same stamp bundle – totally different!

I think I like Emily’s version the best!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Project Share Project Blog Hop – April 2024 – 3D Project!

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop. Our theme this month is 3D!

See the other projects by using the links below, or use the “Next” button at the bottom of this post!

Victoria Littlewood – VickieLou Designs

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

Those of you who follow me regularly will know this is not my usual style of crafting, but I have had a go at making a paper bag mini album.

I’ve used a mix of retiring and newer products to make my project today.

The 2023 In Colour Treat bags form the body of the album. These ones are Boho Blue.

The stamping has been done with Boho Blue and Starry Sky inks… These colours go together so well!

I recently discovered the Of Art & Texture stamp set… Love it!

You can see how I made the album in my video tutorial… It’s a longer video but I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s a view of the inside. Journalling panels were added to the pages, decorated with the same stamping and ink blending for a coordinated look.

Measurements (inches):

Front/Back Cover – 4⅞ x 6⅛
Spine – 4⅞ x 1¾, score each side at ½ inch
Journalling Panels – 4½ x 5¾
Front Panel – 4¾ x 6

I also rounded the corners. You can of course add additional layers as you would like.

This sample was made using Wild Wheat and Early Espresso, bring in the Petal Park stamps instead of Colour and Contour, (both sets are retiring)

The panels on the inside were layered on to the darker cardstock (I completely forgot on the blue version)

Clean and Simple Stamping with Timeless Charm!

Hello Everyone,

We’re going back to basics, with some simple Stampin’ today.

I’m also going to try a show some of the stamp sets that will retire when the new Annual Catalogue goes live in May.

Today, I’m using Timeless Charm today.

I like the way this set can make a watercolour-style background behind the sentiment.

Super easy to do….

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

No dies or punches used today either, but of course you can use whatever you want.

Here’s a blue version … Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky!

Both cards just had a few metallic pearls added – that’s it!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire Create Challenge #164 – Anything but a Card!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #164 everyone is making anything but a card!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

Boy, was this a challenge for me…. 3D projects really take some brain power, but, a couple of prototypes later, I made this little box!

You can see how I made it in my You Tube video tutorial, including the measurements I used.

I used Very Vanilla cardstock for a change too, as it matched the little bottles I put inside.

The box sleeve was stamped using Boho Blue and Starry Sky ink and the Painted Lavender stamp set. The sentiment is from Perennial Postage.

I secured the box with coordinating Boho Blue ribbon.

Here’s another version using Pretty Peacock ink and ribbon!

I hope you enjoyed this project.
