Timeless Textures

Hello,

I just love this Timeless Textures stamp set (#c140517, #w140514) and was so happy with this finished card. (Of course it looks much better in reality.)

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550). I stamped around the 3 sides of the card with Crumb Cake ink (#126975). Then I heat embossed the flourishes with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing powder (#109129) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). I also gold embossed around the edge of the card, around the scalloped oval as well as the sentiment. The large butterfly is cut with a Framelit from the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) and the smaller one from the Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). I used the Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719) and Red Glimmer Paper (#121790) for the butterflies. Happy Birthday is from the Sky Is The Limit stamp set (#c141349), then I punched this with the Scallop Oval (#119856). The sentiment and butterflies were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

Tomorrow I will show you a masculine card using the Timeless Textures stamp set.

Till then,

Happy Stamping,

Lesley.

Butterflies Thinlits

Hello and welcome,

Another little sneak peak today from the new occasions catalogue, with the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper (#140550) which I have used for the butterfly.

This butterfly was cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) and placed on top of the solid butterfly cut with the Bold Butterfly Framelits from Basic Black card (#121688). The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550) and I have also used Blushing Bride card (#131287) with Timeless Elegance DSP (#138444). Happy Birthday is from the Guy Greetings stamp set (#c138828, #w138825, #p137178). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and Black Embossing Powder (#109133) which was then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I used one of the Banners Framelits (#132173) to cut this, and I attached the banner to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishment on the butterfly is Winter Wonderland (#139621).

I wish you all a very happy, safe and healthy New Year and best wishes for a great 2016.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Butterfly Birthday

Hello,

I have just received some of the new products from the next seasonal catalogue and I can't wait to share them with you. As a demonstrator we can get the products earlier so we can start planning our projects. The catalogue is available from 4th January, so not too much longer to wait. There are so many fantastic new products, I'm looking forward to start playing with them (as soon as I get some time).

Meanwhile here is a lovely simple Birthday card with Butterflies.

I stamped the splotches from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (#c130517, #w130514) onto the Whisper White card (#106549) using Mint Macaron ink (#138326). The ribbon is the Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim (#138424). The butterfly cut from Mint Macaron card (#138344) has been cut with the Bold Butterly Framelits (#138135). The Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) cut the butterfly from the Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). Both butterflies were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). Happy Birthday is from the Butterfly Basics stamp set (#c138816, #w138813, #p137154). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing Powder (#109129), then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Have a great day.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Butterflies Thinlits

Hello and Welcome,

With this being such a busy time of the year, I am finding it hard to post a blog every day, so apologies if I don't get one done each day till things quieten down a bit. 

It's been a while since I have made a card with a butterfly (and I am sure you know I love butterflies), so here is one.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549). I attached the beautiful Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP (#139588) to a piece of Bermuda Bay card (#131286). Happy Birthday is from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set (#p140273) and stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#131171). The punch used for "birthday" is the Washi Label punch (#138296). The butterfly from the Bermuda Bay card was cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) and the gold butterfly was cut with the Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). The gold card is Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). After cutting this butterfly I embossed it with the Decorative Dots folder (#133520). I used Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the butterflies.

Have a great day.

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Butterflies Thinlits

Hello,

This butterfly is cut using the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360).

The card for the butterfly is Melon Mambo (#119980). I stamped the image from Everything Eleanor (#c124164, #w131987) onto Whisper White card (#106548), using Melon Mambo ink (#126948) and using the stamping off method. This was then cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits (#130102) and taped to the Everyday Chic DSP (#138445). The butterfly was attached to this using Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I added some of the White Perfect Accents (#138416) to the centre of the butterfly. I taped the Melon Mambo 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon (#138431) to the DSP. Happy Birthday is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set (#c126707, #132070). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Black Embossing powder (#109133), then heat set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

Butterflies

Welcome,

This butterfly was stamped with the Watercolour Wings stamp set (#p139424) then cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360). This two- step stamping set is made easy with the photopolymer stamps as you can see exactly where you are stamping.

The ink is Melon Mambo (#126948) and the cardstock is Melon Mambo (#119980) and Whisper White (# 106549). I embossed the whisper white card with the Fluttering embossing folder (#139304). I then added the labels cut with the Deco Labels Colllection  Framelits (#130102) and attached the butterfly to these with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246) to the butterfly and the ribbon. The ribbon is the 5/8" Organza Ribbon (#114319).

Butterflies Thinlits and Red Foil

Hello,

I was asked to make some butterfly cards, so of course with my love of butterflies, that was an easy task. This is one of the cards.

On the Whisper White base card (#106549) I embossed the Happy Birthday from Happy Birthday Everyone (#c139958, #w139171) using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Embossing Powder (#109129) which was then heat set. The butterfly was cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) using Red Foil Sheets (#139607). This was attached to the background which is Gold Foil sheets (#132622) and the beautiful vellum from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack (#139594). I used the Mini Brads (#122941) to attach the vellum to the gold foil. This was attached to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Butterfly Basics

Hello ladies,

Yesterday I showed you the new Curvey Corner Trio Punch (#139683) and I have used it on this card as well. Doesn't it give a lovely shape to the corners.

The card used is Calypso Coral (#124392) and Whisper White (#106549). To stamp the image with the 2 colours I inked the leaves with Mossy Meadow (#133645), then removed the ink from the flowers with a Blender Pen (#102845),  then using a Calypso Coral Stampin' Write marker (#131902) I added the ink for the flowers. The stamp set is Birthday Basics (#c138816, #w138813, #p137154) and the sentiment was stamped with Calypso Coral (#126983). The butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits was cut from Silver Glimmer Paper (#135314), then attached to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional (#104430).

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Butterflies

Hello again,

The Fluttering embossing folder (#139304) is square so I often make a square card when using this folder.

I used the Whisper White A4 Thick Cardstock for the base (#140490) and the normal Whisper White (#106549) for the rest of the card. I also used the Night Of Navy card (#106577). The inks used are Night Of Navy (#126970) and Daffodil Delight (#126944). The butterfly is cut from Silver Glimmer Paper (#135314) using the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) and as usual attached this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The circles were cut with the Circles Collection Framelits (#130911) and the sentiment with a Framelit from the Project Life Card & Labels (#135707). The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set (#c139471, #w139167) and I used Silver 5/8" Satin Ribbon (#134548).

Have a great weekend.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Butterflies Thinlits

 Hi and Welcome,

What would we do without Framelits? I use them on most cards - so easy to use and there is such a large variety which can be used separately or together.

The Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135) co-ordinate with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) to make this butterfly. One cuts a solid butterfly, the other cuts the intricate design. The other Framelits are the Circle Collection (#130911) and Deco Labels Collection (#130102). I stamped the starburst from Kinda Eclectic stamp set (#c135350, #w135347) with Daffodil Delight ink (#126944). Happy Birthday is from Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706) and I used Pacific Point ink (#126951). The bow is made using the Bow Builder punch (#137414). Metal Rimmed Pearls (#138394) have been added to the bow and butterfly. I embossed the Whisper White card (#106549) for the background with the Brick Wall embossing folder (#138288). The blue card is Pacific Point (#116202) and Basic Black (#121688) was used for the top butterfly.

I have just received some of the new products from the new holiday catalogue which will be out on 1st September. There are so many fantastic products for Christmas, and I am now busy designing cards etc for an upcoming Christmas workshop. I can't believe I am already talking about Christmas! It's very exciting playing with new products and I look forward to sharing these with you in the near future.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping,

Lesley.

Bohemian DSP Butterfly

Welcome,

I have had 3 grandchildren for the weekend (ages 3, 5 and 7) and they all love to do craft so we have had a great time making cards etc. I have also managed to get some done for myself so here is today's card.

The DSP is from the Bohemian DSP (#138446), which I cut the solid butterfly from using the Bold Butterfly Framelits (#138135). Then with White Vellum (#106584) I cut the butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360). I used Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246) for the centre of the Butterfly and the butterfly was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The base card is Island Indigo (#124390), and the other cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106550) and Crushed Curry (#131288). The embossing folder I used on the Very Vanilla card is Elegant Dots (#138287) - yes my favourite at the moment. The circles are cut with the Circles Collection Framelits (#130911). Happy birthday comes from the Birthady Blossoms stamp set (#c139471, #w139167). This was stamped with Island Indigo ink (#126986) and the Framelit to cut this was one from the Project Life Cards and Labels (#135707). You might notice I cut the left end off straight instead of having points at both ends.

I hope you have had a great weekend as I have.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.

Glimmer Paper

Hello,

I made this card for my daughter's birthday. Hope she likes it.

The base card is the Whisper White A4 Thick cardstock (#140490). This was embossed with the Fluttering Embossing folder (#139304). The Elegant Eggplant card was cut with the Circles Collections Framelits (#130911), then embossed with the Elegant Dots folder (#138287). The bow made with the Bow Builder punch (#137414) also uses the Elegant Eggplant card and I added a White Perfect Accent (#138416) to the bow. The ribbon is Gold 1/8" Ribbon (#134583). I cut the butterfly from the Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719) using the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360). The sentiment is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set (#139167) and stamped with Elegant Eggplant ink (#126969). This was cut with one of the Chalk Talk Framelits (#129983). This particular Framelit was a bit long for the sentiment so once I cut it, I re-cut one end off.

I then made an envelope using the white from Neutrals Envelope Paper (#138310). I stamped some butterflies from the Papillion Potpourri stamp set (#c123759, #w132058) on the envelope.

Have a good week.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Watercolour Wings

Hello stampers,

It's time for another butterfly card today. I think you know by now that I love butterflies.

I have used Crushed Curry card (#131288) as well as Very Vanilla (#106550). I embossed with the Elegant Dots folder (#138287) on the Very Vanilla card. I stamped the bottom butterfly with the Watercolour Wings stamp set (#p139424) using Soft Saffron ink (#126957), Crushed Curry ink (#131173) and Early Espresso (#126974). I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits to cut this butterfly. The top butterfly was cut with the Butterflies Thinlits from Gold Glimmer Paper (#133719). Both butterflies were attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). The lace is Sahara Sand Lace trim (#137866). The sentiment is punched with the Washi Tape punch (#138296).

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Watercolour Wash

Hello,

After making the card for today on the Whisper White base card (#106549), I was undecided if I wanted to add some more red to the card, so decided to make one with the Real Red base card (#106578).

The background has been stamped with the Watercolour Wash stamp (#c139538, #w138708) using Smokey Slate ink (#131179) with the stamping off method. The flourish from Everything Eleanor stamp set (#c124164, #w131987) was stamped with Garden Green ink (#126973). I added a piece of Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape (#138385) to the bottom of the cards. Happy Birthday is from Tag Talk (#c134252, #w134249), stamped with Real Red ink (#126949) and punched with the Label Bracket (#132153). The butterfly is cut with the Butterflies Thinlits (#137360) from Red Glimmer Paper (#121790). The butterfly and tag are both attached to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

I'm still unsure which I like best. Which one is your favourite.

Till next time,

Happy Stamping!

Lesley.
