Monochrome Friday – Early Espresso!

Hello Everyone,

Here is my card I have shared for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta-hop!

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

This week…. Early Espresso ☕

This week, I am using this stunning gold foil die cut as the focal point!

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set and heat embossed.

Very simple, but imagine the different combinations that this would work with… Navy and Silver springs to mind.

What colours would you use?

One Last Card Idea with Last Chance Products!

Hello Everyone!

Today is new catalogue day and the start of Sale-a-bration, so social media will be all about the new products and freebies, but I thought I would give one last hurrah to some Last Chance favourites… All available while stocks last!

I created a distressed look background with Textured Timber stamp set, gold embossing powder and Wild Wheat Rustic ribbon.

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

The sentiment was also heat embossed in gold and die cut with this lovely Christmas Labels die.

Blueberry Bushel, Early Espresso and Copper Clay inks were used to stamp the florals and foliage.

This version uses Blackberry Bliss, Pretty in Pink, Pretty Peacock and Summer Splash.

Keeping it Simple with the Humble Home Bundle!

Hello Everyone,

I have not had a chance to use this delightful new punch bundle yet! This set is featured on the cover of the mini catalogue and has proven very popular.

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

The embossing on the background panel adds some detail.

I love the bold contrast of the Pecan Pie but the subtle look using Crumb Cake is lovely too!

The little heart from the punch is cute embellishment and a splash of colour comes from the wreath.

Creating a Watercolour Background using Acrylic Blocks!

Hello Everyone,

Think week I am creating a watercolour background in a really fun way!

The colours I picked out for the video are Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.

Once the background was completely dry, I stamped the leaves with versamark ink and embossed with copper embossing powder.

The panel was layered with Coastal Cabana cardstock and matching embossed sentiment was added.

Here’s another version using Soft Sea Foam, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green!

Emboss Resist Blended Background with the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

I’m combining some favourite techniques to make the background for today’s cards… Heat embossing and ink blending!

I started by adding Moody Mauve ink to the top and bottom of the card layer before adding the snowflakes.

Fresh Freesia ink was added to the central portion, revealing white snowflakes.

Blackberry Bliss ink was added to the top and bottom, revealing pink snowflakes.

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

A spritz of water added some extra interest too. Layering on to white cardstock makes the colour pop!

The Scallloped Contour dies fit the sentiment perfectly, and some adhesive sequins finish it off!

The blue combo uses, Boho Blue, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Tone on Tone Metallic Heat Embossing!

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a while since I did any heat embossing. This idea came about as I have been using a lot of Wild Wheat cardstock as a substitute for gold, so I extended that to copper and silver…

I have used Medley Mix and the coordinating Inked and Tiled punches to create the background panel.

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

Here is the original card with Wild Wheat and gold heat embossing.

And finally, I also used copper embossing powder on Copper Clay cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Using the Rays of Light Background Stamp

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought I would show you how you can use the Rays of Light background stamp with the Stamparatus tool.

In this example I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy inks.

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

The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!

This sample used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.

Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

Inspire.Create.Challenges #123 – Sketch Challenge with Dragonfly Garden

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today sharing with you my design team project for the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog!

Our challenge this time is to use this card sketch.

See the other design team creations HERE

I chose to use some ink blending to create the vertical panel.

This colour combo reminds of a sunset on a summer’s evening!

The black layer ties the embossing and sentiment together.
