Flutter into Creativity with the Beautiful Bokeh Suite 🦋

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back, stampers! Today I’m beyond excited to spotlight the Beautiful Bokeh Suite, a gorgeous collection that truly elevates your crafting with both ease and elegance. This suite combines dreamy butterfly motifs, stunning bokeh-patterned papers, and a clever hybrid embossing folder and die set—all in one coordinated collection.

The hybrid embossing folder is a true game‑changer: you can emboss delicate butterfly silhouettes for added texture, or pair the folder with its matching die to cut and emboss in a single pass—a real time‑saver that delivers incredible detail every time. These ready‑to‑use butterflies are a beautiful focal point on any card or tag.

What truly sets this suite apart is the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper—a soft palette of images that mimic shimmering light and pair effortlessly with the butterfly designs. Whether you use the 6″×6″ paper behind embossed butterflies or stamp and die‑cut matching accents, your projects will glow with a professional finish.

I’ve shared how versatile and beginner‑friendly this suite is. Watch the video as I combine the embossing folder, die, DSP, and shimmer gems to craft a striking Balmy Blue butterfly card—proof that this suite plays well with additional supplies like gems and cut‑out accents!

Here’s why you will love this suite:

  • Fast, detailed results — emboss or emboss & cut butterflies in one go
  • Coordinated elegance — with designer paper, stamps, dies, and embellishments
  • Mix‑and‑match friendly — works beautifully with many cardstock colors and extras like shimmer gems and ribbon
  • Inspiration aplenty — plentiful tutorials available, from clean & simple to layered masterpieces!

This card shows the ability to cut out the main butterfly and turn it into a stunning “shape” card. The front was watercolored with our ink refills and water.

This is the perfect moment to bring this suite home. It’s featured in the Suite Sale / BOGO event—buy any suite, get a second one at half price until June 30th—and it’s online-exclusively available now lindasstampinescape.com. Whether you’re adding to your crafting stash or picking up a gift for a friend, it’s a beautiful time to join in.

I hope you have enjoyed the stunning card samples featuring everything this suite can do—from delicate white-on-white elegance to vibrant layered designs and soft pastel harmony. Each one highlights different techniques —these designs are crafted to spark ideas for birthdays, thank-you notes, friendship cards, and more!

This card uses the Bokeh designer paper as a mat (and peeks through under the butterfly), the folder with the die, the die to cut the detailed butterfly out of the Ombre Glitter paper, and the embellishments to complete the card.

Beautiful Butterfly (You Move Me Bundle)

Posted in 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG, 2018 Occasions Catalog, RETIRING, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am so excited to not only share one of the amazing cards that we made at our Annual Spring Stamping Retreat but to share my very first video!! Oh my gosh … I can’t believe I finally did this, with more practice I’ll be able to create some really fun information / training videos for you!!

First, let me share the card with you. I bought this stamp set because my Mom loved butterflies, it’s sad she never got to see this (well, maybe she did ❤ ) so this card and my first video are dedicated to my Mom.   Sunday will be our first Mother’s Day without her, so I need to focus on the wonderful moments shared together… with a smile.

I can’t believe this stamp set is on the “Retirement List”!!  Don’t let this one slip by, it is so pretty and you can make any type of card with this bundle.  Below are the three cards we made with the “You Move Me Bundle” … Two of the cards were inspired by fellow stampin’ artists/ demonstrators.

The center card I credit to: Patty Bennett … she used 2 butterflies on her card, I did a single butterfly.  The card on the right, I credit to:Shelly Godby … she used the “Reverse Masking” technique on her card and I used the Marker to Block / Watercolor Technique.  Can you see how different all of these cards are … and all beautiful!!

Now … I must show you how beautiful this butterfly is in movement. Yes, it moves, it flutters!! Just click on the arrow in the center of the picture.

Well now …

I can’t create a beautiful card like this and not decorate the inside. The cute little butterflies come in the stamp set that is included in the bundle. You will need the bundle to make your butterfly or humming bird fly.

I really hope you liked this card and that you enjoyed the video!  If you did, would you please leave a comment … I would love to hear your thoughts.

Just to let you know … the beautiful designer paper used on my cards is already gone from this discontinued list.

Thank you for joining me today.

Have a beautiful day!

 

TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST … 

 

Sending Flowers & Get Well Wishes …

Posted in Get Well Cards by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

One thing that cheers me up is stamping or getting hand stamped cards, so as I was a bit under the weather … I created a “Get Well” card!  That darn flu bug has hit many of you too, so I hope my card brings a smile to your face.

I began with the beautiful “Watercolor Wonder” Designer Series Paper… don’t you just love these flowers!  I chose the green/blue flowers this time and used the Island Indigo card stock for the base of the card.

000_0616

I cut the designer paper ( 4′ x 5-1/4″) for the front of the card, then I used the left over piece to cut the liner for my envelope.  I used the Envelope Liner Thinlet Die…which is now on sale!  I set the scrap piece aside because I will be using it later.

My “Get Well” greeting comes from the “Perfectly Penned” stamp set.  This is one of those stamp sets that when I first saw it, I just had to have it.  The font is so unique and fun … and who doesn’t want to be “cheered up” when they aren’t feeling well.

My greeting is stamped in Island Indigo ink and was cut out using the smallest of the “Oval Collections Framelits”.  I then cut a mat out of Island Indigo cardstock with the next size oval and punched out my first butterfly with the “Elegant Butterfly” punch.

I took the scrap piece of designer paper left over from the envelope liner, and punched out my second (smaller) butterfly with the “Bitty Butterfly Punch”.  I think the butterfly looks so cool punched out of the designer paper!

I adhered the smaller butterfly to the larger with the “Glue Dots”  because it allows better placement and I won’t get adhesive on the wings … I like them moveable. Our butterflies must fly!

To embellish card … I used 4 of the pearls that are connected together to create the body of the butterfly, and then wrapped another string of the pearls around my greeting.  I added a few loose ones too, just to created a smoother, airier look.

Well … I still had a strip of designer paper left from the envelope liner scrap, so I cut a piece for the inside of my card and edged it with the “Finishing Touches Edgelit Die”, (which is also on sale until the 13th).  It really did add the finishing touch to my card.

000_0617

Hope my card brought some brightness into your day.  The pretty butterfly makes me think of spring (Wishing it was, while I was out salting the 1-1/2″ of sheer ice on my driveway)

Spring … I’m ready for you! LOL

Thanks for visiting me today.  Hope yours is a beautiful one.
