Beautiful Butterflies

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

Lately I’ve been wanting to do more colouring. And the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set is a great one for that! It doesn’t matter whether you use Stampin’ Blends or Watercolour Pencils, both look great. Although I may be a little biased because I LOVE butterflies, lol!

For this card design I coloured my butterflies a couple of different ways. I coloured one using just the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend. Then another with just the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend. And one more using both the light and the dark blends. Once they were coloured and dry I die cut them with the coordinating dies and popped up two of them on the front. The other small one I put on the inside of the card.

Behind the butterflies I added some leaves from the Layering Leaves stamp set using Garden Green ink. Full strength for the outline and then I stamped off to “colour” them in. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. It’s stamped using Garden Green ink and then I added some small ink spots using another image from Layering Leaves using Calypso Coral ink. I die cut the sentiment using one of the Something Fancy dies and popped it up so it’s on the same level as the butterflies. Then to finish it off I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems.

I love how easy it was to colour some beautiful looking butterflies! And the colour with Stampin’ Blends is so vivid.

Uninterrupted Crafting

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

A few weeks ago I got to spend the day with a great group of people… my larger team… for a day of crafting. There’s always good food and it’s a chance for uninterrupted crafting… or at least less interruptions than if I were at home. Lol! And this time we also had the option of joining in on a couple of creative challenges. I love this idea as it really helped get my creative juices flowing! And it gave me the chance to have some fun with the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper.

This card design came from the sketch challenge. So we were given a picture that suggested shapes, elements, positioning, etc. Then you interpret that however you want. I used Berry Burst for my card base and one of my ink colours. My other ink colour, Fresh Freesia, came from one of the 3 different designs of patterned paper I used.

On top of the patterned paper card mat, I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set using both of my ink colours. Next I layered on a piece of Basic Black cardstock. On top of that is an even smaller piece of Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper.

The final layer are 2 butterflies I die cut using the Beautiful Butterflies hybrid embossing folder and 2 different designs from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper pack. I wasn’t expecting the distressed look that I got on the larger butterfly, but I really like it! To finish it off I added some Wink of Stella to both butterflies and a few Iridescent Foil Gems.

Uninterrupted Crafting Time

I just love this patterned paper! And I can’t wait for the next chance for some more uninterrupted crafting!

Bloom Impressions

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

Today’s the last day of Sale-a-bration! I can’t believe we’re already at the end of February. Can you?! One of my favourite things from the Sale-a-bration catalogue turned out to be the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper. Now I have to admit, I do prefer the designs with one or two colours. But I have used the mutli-coloured designs for a couple of projects.

I love purple! So for my last card design that I’m sharing here, I’m using the Blackberry Bliss/purple design. And I’m pairing it with another of my favourites… butterflies!

My card base is Basic White. Then I layered my piece of patterned paper on top. The next layer is a Blackberry Bliss butterfly tag I made using a special die from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. To make this tag I ran the same piece of cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine twice, making sure to line up the die using the line on the die when I flipped the cardstock around.

Next I added a detailed Basic White butterfly to the outside of the tag using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. And on the inside of the tag I added a Basic White butterfly outline. I did need to trim the antennae and the bottom of the body a bit to fit. Then on top of that I added a Blackberry Bliss sentiment from the More than Autumn stamp set.

Monochromatic Z-Fold Card

Posted on by inkspirationwithteresa

I enjoy a good monochromatic card. And I definitely enjoy making a Z-fold card. So I thought to myself why not put them together and make a monochromatic Z-fold card! This one features the free Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper pack Bloom Impressions. The colours in this pack of patterned paper are so bright and colourful. It definitely makes me look at the calendar to see how many more days there are until Spring… 26 by the way.

For this card design I went with a simpler pattern from the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper pack. This one is Coastal Cabana. So that’s what I used for the card base and ink for the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set. I also added a splash of Lost Lagoon. This is one of my favourite colours. And it’s still in the same colour family so it still makes this a monochromatic card.

I placed two panels of the Bloom Impressions patterned paper on the card base. Then on top of the outside panel I have 3 Basic White butterflies. Well mostly Basic White. Before I die cut them using the Beautiful Butterflies dies, I stamped the splatter image a bunch of times on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Lost Lagoon ink. I wanted at least a little bit of colour on the butterflies. Then I popped up the sentiment, which I punched using the To the Point Label punch, with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals. But I only put the dimensionals on one side to make sure that when the sentiment overlapped it wouldn’t stick to the “inside” of the card.
