BRI Sending Smiles Across the Miles

Hi crafty friends! Today I am participating in an INSTAGRAM HOP! We are “Sending Smiles Across the Miles” to celebrate and show support to our dear friend Vanessa, the hardworking owner of Butterfly Reflections Ink @butterflyreflectionsink. We wanted to send cheer and well wishes her way, to remind her that even though her Design Team is spread all across the world, our BRI family is here for her. 

I created a pink butterfly themed card for Vanessa using one of my favorites from Newton's Nook Designs. You can find this stamp and coordinating die in the shop. I inkblended the background using Distress Oxide Inks. The image was heat embossed with sparkly gold embossing powder. I added a bit of color using pink Copic markers and cut out the image using the Heart Frames Die.

 I stamped and embosse the sentiment and added some sparkly gemstones for a finishing touch. I hope Vanessa likes the card when she receives it in the mail.

You can hop along for some inspiration over on Instagram

Have A Really Cool New Year!

Hi everyone! Today I am posting over on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog with a card to help ring in the New Year featuring some cuteness from Lawn Fawn! 2020 is nearly over and I sure hope 2021 will be a better year for us all! 

To create my card I started off with the Slim Window Dressing scalloped layer die from Mama Elephant. I inked it up using Distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Broken China. I added the tree layers using the Lawn Fawn Slimline Forest Border die. I stamped, embossed and colored up the images from the Lawn Fawn Yeti or Not and Party Animal stamps using Copic markers. 

 The snowflakes were cut from glittered cardstock using the Mini Snowflakes Lawn Cuts die. I also embellished using a white gel pen and some sparkle marker.

Weeeeee! Dashin' Thru the Snow

I stamped, embossed and colored up these cuties using Copic markers. The images can be cut using the coordinating Dashin Thru the Snow Creative Cuts. For the background I used a soft blend of Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Broken Glass, Peacock Feathers and Broken China. I splattered water, white paint and shimmer spray across the background and added some snowflake sequins from my stash.

The beautiful snowflake frame die is the Mama Elephant Flurry Frame Creative Cuts.  It's the perfect sized layer for an A2 card base. I used the Lawn Fawn Slimline Forest Border Die to create the hill. The banner is also part of the frame die set and I stamped and embossed the sentiment.

Hi everyone! Today I am over on the Butterfly Reflection's Ink blog sharing a Christmas card featuring colors from this month's Mood Board challenge. The adorable images are from Newton's Nook A Kitten Christmas stamps and coordinating dies.  

I stamped, embossed and colored these cuties using Copic markers. I kept with the vintage blues and forest greens and pinks. For the background scalloped layer I used the Mama Elephant Slim Window  Dressing Dies. I used Distress Inks in Broken China and Tumbled Glass to blend the blue snowy sky background and splattered some white paint for the snow fall. I cut out the window frame using the Newton's Nook Slimline Frames & Windows die.

For the touch of Gold I stamped and embossed the sentiment onto the banner diecut. I cut out some branches with an older Martha Stewart punch and created the glittery pink bow from the Mama Elephants Basic Set. I also fussy cut the snow in white glitter cardstock across the top of the banner.
