Butterfly Gala

Welcome again,

The Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580) and the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) are retiring, but for the butterfly lovers, there are more  beautiful butterflies and dies coming in the new catalogue.

The base card and card front are Very Vanilla (#106550). The background on the card front was achieved using Gilded Leafing Embellishment (#154560). I placed a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask (#150697) on the card and pressed the VersaMark pad (#102283) onto the mask so it presses through onto the card. I didn't want a perfect pattern, so if the VersaMark doesn’t stamp all over that is fine. I then sprinkled this with the Heat & Stick Powder (#156110), removed the excess, then heat it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This doesn’t take long but gives a stickiness to the card. Next press the card into the Gilded Leafing Embellishment, then rub the excess Gold Leafing from the card. The Gold Leafing will stick to the Heat & Stick Powder.

The Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) was cut with a die from the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724) for the detailed border. This was attached to a piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). I daubered the edges of the card with Mango Melody ink (#147093), then wrapped the Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon (#144146) around the card front.

The Butterflies and sentiment are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I stamped the butterflies with VersaMark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). The butterflies were punched with the Butterflies Duet Punch. The butterflies were coloured with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends (#154888). The sentiment was stamped with Mango Melody ink. The ovals were cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (#151771). The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added 2020-2022 In Colour Enamel Dots (#152480) to the butterflies and sentiment.

Butterfly Gala

Hello again friends,

Most of the products used for this card are retiring. There are still lots of products available and some great bargains, so check them out here - lesleyjendra.stampinup.net

The colours used are from the 2019-2021 In-Colors, so of course are retiring to make way for the next lot of In Colors. I coloured the background using the Blending Brushes (#153611) with Rococo Rose ink (#150080), Seaside Spray ink (#150085), Terracotta Tile ink (#150086) and Pretty Peacock ink (#150083). The flourish from the Beauty Abounds stamp set (#148726) was stamped on the background with VersaMark (#102283) and I heat embossed this with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109132), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I then sprayed this card front with the Frost White Shimmer Paint (#147046) to give a lovely shimmer.

The butterflies are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580). These were stamped with Rococo Rose, Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray inks. The co-ordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) was used to punch the butterflies. I added glimmer to the larger butterflies with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897). 

The sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The sentiment and the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) under the sentiment were cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638). The cardfront was matted with Pretty Peacock card and the  base card is Basic White (#159228). The larger butterflies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the small butterflies with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the Woven Threads Sequin Assortment (#149498) and glued using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

Butterfly Gala

Hi & welcome everyone,

Most people know that I love butterflies, so thought I would use some on todays card.

The Whisper White cardfront (#106549) was dry embossed with the beautiful Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (#152702), then attached to Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). To conserve specialty papers like this Gold Foil you can cut a piece from the middle for later use, as you are only needing to see the outside part once the cardfront is attached. This was then attached to the Whisper White base card. Using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (#152709), I punched the Crushed Curry card (#131288), Calypso Coral card (#124392), Coastal Cabana card (#131302) and Purple Posy card (#150887). I stamped 3 Butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580). The large and small butterflies are stamped as1 image but when punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch (#148523) the 2 different shapes punch separately. The butterflies were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). “Happy Birthday” is from the Many Mates stamp set (#152633) and also gold embossed. I cut this with one of the Stitched Rectangles dies (#151820). The die was too long so after cutting once, I re-positioned the die to cut it for a shorter length. The butterflies and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The small butterflies were coloured with So Saffron Stampin Blends (#154905), Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (#154881) and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends (#154889), and these were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). A small Gilded Gem (#152478) was attached to each butterfly.

Hope you can have a crafty day.

See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper

Hi again,

If you like nice bright colours you can’t go past the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper (#149443) which I have used for this background. This page has a look of using pigment sprinkles.

The cardstock used is Whisper White (#106549), Basic Black (#121688) and Real Red (#106578). I stamped the flourish and “thanks” from Beauty Abounds stamp set (#c148726) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The butterflies are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Shimmer Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#149512), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The butterflies were punched with the co-ordinating Butterfly Duet punch (#148523), then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were added to the body of the butterfly.

Enjoy your day.

Butterfly Gala

HI everyone,

Today I have made 3 cards, showing cards for the beginner crafter, the casual crafter and the avid crafter.

The first card is for the beginner crafters. I have used Crushed Curry card (#131288) for the base and Very Vanilla for the card front (#106550) for all cards. The butterflies and sentiment are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#p148580) and stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). The splotches are from the Beauty Abounds stamp set (#c148726).

On the 2nd card I have stamped some flourishes and small splotches from Beauty Abounds stamp set with Crumb Cake ink (#147116). I have also stamped an extra butterfly and punched it with the Butterfly Duet punch (#148523) and attached this on top of the stamped butterfly on the card. I used a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) for this. I added the Pearl Basic Jewels (#144219) to the body of the butterfly.

For the 3rd card I also stamped some of the larger splotches with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I punched one corner with the Detailed Duet Punch (#146320) and sponged the edges with Crushed Curry ink. I stamped extra butterflies with VersaMark (#102283), embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The ribbon is the 3/8” Scalloped Lace Trim (#149593) and I have used the Pearl Basic Jewels on the card and butterflies. I have coloured the pearls before removing from the sheet using Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (#144585).

So you can see that you can make a lovely card, by just simply stamping or you can step it up as much as you like using additional supplies.

Have a great day.

Very Versailles

Hello,

My original plan for this card was just black and white, but then decided it would be great to add some red.

I embossed the Whisper White base card (#106549) with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). The script image from the Very Versailles stamp set (#149275) was stamped with Smokey Slate ink (#147113). The branch from the same stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The fancy border was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). I stamped the butterfly from Butterfly Gala stamp set (#148580) on Real Red card (#106578). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Shimmer Black Emboss Powder (#149512) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The butterfly was punched with the Butterfly Duet punch (#148523) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). “Thanks” is cut with a die from the Well Written Dies (#148534) from Real Red card and glued with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) were added to the card and butterfly to add a bit of bling.

Have a great day.
