Monochrome Friday – Cajun Craze!

Hello Everyone,

I missed out on this week’s Monochromatic Insta-hop, but I’d made a card already so here it is.

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

This week…. Cajun Craze 🧡

I decided to use Basic Beige for the layering on this one.

A frame was created using the Stylish Shapes dies and trimmed to size.

Die cut leaves from the Flowers of Beauty set were then tucked inside the frame.

The sentiment is taken from the Unbounded Beauty set and cut with the coordinating dies!

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Fun Card Layout with Sketched Butterflies!

Hello Everyone,

I think this is my favourite set in the 2024 Annual Catalogue from Stampin’ Up!

I’ve shared so many cards with this, but here’s a fun layout using the fabulous Spotlight on Nature dies.

The butterflies were stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink… Great blue colour… And die cut them out.

Each was was adhered to a circle from the Spotlight on Nature die set.

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

The background had a little ink added to create some contrast.

I heat embossed the sentiment on coordinating cardstock and finished with some grey pearls.

This version uses Berry Burst for bright bold look.

Hello Everyone,

This evening I’m bringing you a card I made for the Smart Stampin’ International Instagram hop!

This was the card I really wanted to make with this beautiful new Winterly Treetops bundle.

The wreath is made in two pieces for this design.

Everything was coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers for that Christmassy feel.

For the background, I used the Birch embossing folder – so pretty on the Basic Beige cardstock!

First Christmas Card for 2024!

Hello Everyone,

So here it is, the first Christmas card of 2024. This one is very simple though, using some festive colours with the layout.

I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a panel, which I blended with some Poppy Parade ink. I probably should have added more than I did… It looks a bit pink!

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

Layers of Basic White and Gold Foil were added before wrapping some metallic trim. The panel was then added to Shaded Spruce card base.

I used the online exclusive Greetings of the Season stamp set to create the sentiment, which I cut out with the Modern Oval punch.

This version uses Bubble Bath, Soft Seafoam and Smoky Slate which turned out much prettier, in my opinion.

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

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.
