Butterflies Galore

Hello and welcome back....

Today I am sharing a video from Stampin'Up! featuring the gorgeous stamp set Butterfly Basics and the matching Butterfly Thinlits.

Aren't they gorgeous.....

 

 

The Butterfly Thinlits used on their own, with some Gorgeous Grunge in the background make a gorgeous card. The butterfly has been cut out and sponged with Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Lost Lagoon.
 

 

Here the butterfly has been cut out of Night of Navy card and the background has been created with the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set.
 

A slight variation on the previous card, and the great thing is if you buy the Butterfly Thinlits together with the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set you save 15% off the regular price. Awesome saving for such a great set.

Butterfly Basics Stamp Case

Hello and welcome back....

I have a lovely little project to share with you today, its a set of 4 cards with envelopes in a case. I love this little case, it's made using one of the Stampin'Up! Wooden Mount Stamp Cases. The idea came from one of Becky Roberts downline, she added handles to the Stamp boxes to create little suitcases...

The colour scheme for the cards came from the Designer series paper on the cover of the box, its from the English Garden DSP, one of my favorites, and this particular piece is Old Olive and Melon Mambo.

Inside the box are 4 cards and 4 envelopes, the card bases are Melon Mambo with a layer of Whisper White on top. I have used the fantastic Butterfly Basics Bundle to create the cards. You get the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set and the Butterfly Thinlits for 15% off the regular price.

It has two great sentiments, this one I have stamped in Early Espresso. I stamped the tiny butterfly and then punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch

 I have layered 3 butterflies on this card, they are just so pretty...

I have used my old friend Gorgeous Grunge to add a little something to the background...

The Handle is attached from the inside and the great thing about using double sided DSP is that the inside of the box is decorated too...

This would make a great present for someone and could easily be personalised for that person... so many possibilities...
Pop back tomorrow to see another one in a different colourway.
Plus I am going to be offering these as kits so if you are interested in making one, so check back in the next few days...

I hope you enjoyed today's project, thanks for stopping by....

Butterfly Basics meets the Butterfly Thinlits

Hello and welcome back.....

Today's post is all about Butterflies... The gorgeous Butterfly Basics Stamp Set and the fabulous Butterfly Thinlits....
I love both of these, although I have not always been a fan of intricate dies, sometimes a bit too much like hard work trying to get the bits out and the card off the die, but in the NEW Autumn/Winter Catalogue there is something to make life a little easier, its called the Precision Base Plate and its designed to" deliver improved performance with more detailed dies giving you extra fine cuts" and you are going to love it especially when you see the new ornament dies.....mmm.....mmmm..
Enough of that on to the card....

So we have a Chocolate Chip card base topped with a Very Vanilla layer, stamped with Choc Chip, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.

The Butterfly had been sponged with  Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango and Pumpkin Pie.....I think I have used this set of dies more than any other...I really love sponging them with different colour combinations just to see what they will look like....lol 

I added tiny rhinestones all over the ferns to look like morning dew...Love the effect... hard to see how beautiful it looks in a photo...(well mine anyway!)

I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by....
