Butterfly Thank You

I started this card out by choosing my colors. I wanted something a little different from what I tend to gravitate towards. I used Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry & Crumb Cake as my main colors and added some glossy white card stock for the butterfly and Mocha Morning DSP. I ran the Pear Pizzazz through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fans Letterpress plate. I used the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set for my images. The butterfly was stamped on glossy card stock with Versamark ink & then embossed with the vanilla embossing powder. I then sponged over the butterfly with Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz ink. This is the same technique you can view in this Video by Frenchie from frenchiestamps

I used the butterfly punch which coordinates with the stamp set to punch out the butterfly.

I hope you all enjoy!

Love Letterpressed

I have to say that I really like this card. I used the other half of yesterdays paper doily and mounted on whisper white card stock. I then took my Lots of Love Letterpress Plate & sprayed it with the Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz. I like how the shimmer brings out the letters.

This card will be a definite pick for craft camp or a workshop. It also works great for my Big Shot club as it uses a lot of Big Shot dies.

I hope you all enjoy!

Dare To Dream

I have been working on a second project for a valentine's day craft camp & had the idea to layer the paper doily. I wasn't sure how well this would work, but I had to give it a try & I have to say that I definitely like the results. I layered the doilies after cutting the sections down for each layer and then cut the doily in half creating two halves, one of which I used on this card and another on the card I will be demoing at craft camp. I will post that card tomorrow.

I used the Heart Pressed Letterpress on the Basic Grey without adding any ink as I wanted to just have the image embossed into the paper. You can see this in the picture below. I am really like the pleated ribbon although I have found that when I wrap the ribbon to hide edges it does add a little too much weight. To fix this I cut the ribbon thread and opened the pleat at each end and then wrapped, this makes the card front lay down flatter.

To finish I used the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set & Blossom Punch to create a butterfly, which I added a glimmer brad and attached to the card. I wanted to use a saying that is a little more Valentine's dayish but as I do not have a huge supply of current stamp sets yet that have to do with love, anniversaries, weddings or valentines day I made do with what I have and ordered the Valentine Love stamp set. I should be getting my order this week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Just in time to get my make-n-takes ready for craft camp this weekend.

Hope you all enjoy!
