Beautiful Day – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

For Violet

Hello Everyone,

This weekend, I received the sad news that a member of our Stampin’ Up! teammates had passed away after being infected with Coronavirus.

Violet was an amazing person, generous and supportive of everyone in the team. She had a great sense of humour too. We will miss her the next time we have a team event.

So this card was made with Violet in mind, I thought the sentiment was perfect.

I used a combination of Highland Heather and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends which worked out really well.

The wings were shaped slightly with a bone folder. To keep the shape, the wings were supported by dimensionals whilst the body was fixed to the card with multipurpose glue.

I used a Stitched So Sweetly die cut as a backdrop. This was adhered with dimensionals.

Highland Heather ink was used for the sentiment, also adhered with dimensionals.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Inspire.Create #048

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

I have used the Beautiful Day stamp set for a simple feminine card.

The butterfly was coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen.

The image is easy to cut out. The wings were shaped with a bone folder. Dimensionals were placed behind the wings to keep the shape.

For a multi coloured sentiment, the stamp was inked with Stampin’ Write Markers.

Double dimensionals added extra lift against the butterfly.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

For George

Hello Everyone,

Last week we said goodbye to one of our colleagues who was moving on to pursue her dream career.

As she loves butterflies, I knew exactly which set to use.

The large butterfly from the Beautiful Day was stamped with Stazon ink and allowed to dry completely.

In the meantime, the base was prepared by layering Whisper White card stock on to Gray Granite card stock. Some Bermuda Bay ink was used to add some texture to the background.

The sentiment was stamped with Melon Mambo ink and layered on to Smoky Slate card stock. The corners were rounded with the Detailed Trio punch.

The butterfly was coloured using watercolour pencils and blender pens. A bone folder was used to add shape the wings which were secured with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

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

Today is also the last day to enjoy the Designer Series Paper sale and take advantage of the amazing joining offer.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Lidded Treat Box

Good Morning,

I made this box to hold nine Ferrero or Lindor chocolates.

The card stock used measures 10-1/4 inches square. The base is made with Powder Pink card, whilst the lid is Berry Burst.

Score the base at 1-1/2 and 3 inches.

The lid is scored at the same measurements, but using a shim of card stock along the left hand side bar. This will ensure the lid will fit over the base.

Three flowers from the Beautiful Day stamp set were added to the lid using matching ink.

To cut the tabs, remove the three outer squares. Notch out the lose edges.

Fast Fuse was added to the outside of the small tabs. The corners were folded up. The side panels were then folded in and secured with Fast Fuse.

On the lid, the 1/2 inch circle punch was used to make finger notches.

Berry Burst metallic edge ribbon was added to the lid of the box and secured with glue dots.

The flower on top was coloured with Stampin’ Blend markers and adhered using dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

Always Thinking of You

Hi Everyone,

This beautiful butterfly is the star of the show on this card.

The image was stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Memento ink and allowed to dry completely.

I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to colour the image. Markers are available as a complete set, (12 plus bronze, ivory and a colour lifter), as a combo set, ( light and dark shades of a particular colour), or individually, allowing you to collect markers to suit your crafting.

Each section of the image was coloured separately.

The colours used were Light Pool Party, Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay. Each colour was blended into the previous creating a soft gradient of shading.

The layer was adhered to a Pool Party card base.

The sentiment is also from the set. This was stamped in black and added to the card using mini dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!
