Throwback Thursday: Butterflies!

Posted in Quick -n- Easy, Sale-a-bration 2016, Sympathy, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I thought it would be fun to share some cards that I have created for my blog or my stamp clubs from the past. Today we are going back to 2013, and the products that we’ll focus on are still in our annual catalog!

Let’s take a look at butterflies …

Swallowtail 4-29

The first is a card we did in my Stampin’ Technique Classes: Emerging Color Technique

  1. We sponged color – in this case, green in the center and turquoise on the rest … let dry.
  2. We then inked up the butterfly image with VersaMark and then embossed with clear embossing powder
  3. Final step of the technique is to brayer black over the entire card front & wipe off excess ink.

The beautiful colors underneath the embossed area now emerges! We then used the butterfly punches (also still available) to accent our card.

 

The second card is quick -n- easy and really cute!

Our background was created with the “Honeycomb” folder (still available) … the only thing you need to swap out is the designer paper! And that’s not hard because we have so many fabulous designs.

 

My last card share for our Throwback Thursday is ….

This card also has the “honeycomb” embossing folder and the Bitty Butterfly punch is used. The stamp set is no longer available but my suggestion would be the “Serene Silhouettes” or the “World of Dreams” stamp set… either one could be used in replacing the stamp set on this card.

As you can see, some items are timeless. You can easily create these cards again, and again.  Hope I inspired you to create with your butterfly punches … spring is in the air!

Just a quick reminder …

Throwback Thursday … Nothing better than a friend

Posted in Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’m sharing a fun card that I made back in the fall of 2013!

The card highlights the Calypso Coral “grid paper” found in the paper packet, and for some reason … maybe it was the color, but I chose to team it up with the “Pleasant Poppies” stamp set.  This is not a hard card to make, but has an awesome technique: Dazzling Diamond Dust.

I began coloring my poppies with markers and a blender pen.  I scribbled the ink from the marker onto the plastic case of the stamp set, then pulled the color up with my blender pen… it gives you a softer look and you have much more control.

To do the “Dazzling Diamond Dust Technique” – Cover the entire cardstock of your stamped image with VersaMark™, then cover with “Iridescent Ice Embossing Power” and use heat gun to emboss the entire piece.  So simple … so pretty.123052L

For my greeting, I used the “nothing but heaven itself in better than a friend” from the “Blessings from Heaven” stamp set.  Then topped it off with the Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and 3 rhinestones.

Some stamp sets, layouts and techniques are timeless!  Hmmm … must be why so many of us have a hard time parting with our retired sets!! You never know, we may want to use them again!! And we do!

Have a wonderful Thursday!  Stop back tomorrow … I’ll be sharing the layout of this card with all new stamps and accessories.

Thanks for stopping by.
