Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks!

 

Hi Stampin' Friends! Today I want to share a card that we made at my past Stamp Camp! This is a GORGEOUS new bundle from Stampin' Up! It is the Butterfly Flight bundle. This is meant to use with the new Hot Foil System, but the masks are also sold separately so even if you don't have the hot foil system, you can still use the masks.  Below is the same card, one with gold foil and one without. I love them both! 


 The color combo I used for this card is Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst, Misty Moonlight and Secret Sea.  When using the Hot Foil, the butterfly bodies are foiled. I used gold for this card.  If you are not using the foil, then you need a color for the bodies, that is where I used the Secret Sea. 

The Butterfly Flight bundle does not include any sentiments and works with any that you have in your collection. My Stamp Camp attendees seem to like Birthday Cards the best, so I brought along the Balloon Festoon stamp set for the Happy Birthday sentiment on the outside and Enjoy your day on the inside. 


 I couldn't get a good photo of the gold shimmer with the foil, but it is really pretty. The foil catches the light as you move the cards and gives a nice extra special luxe look to the card. 


 The version with out the foil is also really pretty and I can see reasons why this less blingy version would be desired as well.  These are nice sized butterflies too! Perfect for scrapbook pages and home decor projects. I look forward to making butterflies with other color combinations. They are going to be fun! 

I really like decorative masks and Stampin' Up! has come out with some really great ones. Be sure to check them all out here.  Some have coordinating stamp sets, some hot foil sets.  All super fun and easy to use.

Thankful Garden

 

 

I fell in love with the Thankful Garden bundle due to the large floral images. I knew that they would be super fun for a variety of coloring techniques.  I look forward to using this stamp with some watercolor and colored pencil.  But first, I had to give it a go with the coordinating Decorative Masks.  

 

There are three layers for the flower images and two layers for the leaf images on both flowers in the stamp set  For the Hydrangea I used Garden Green and Fresh Freesia.  I opted to use the same color on each layer. By adding a second layer of the same color, I was able to achieve a darker accent on top of the first layer. You could also layer different colors on top of each other to achieve another look. 


 The Blending Brushes are fun and easy to use. They come in packs of three in two sizes.  I have a full length video how to for this card on my YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/5lPo2TZuFoU


 

 Last week we used some of these papers in a Virtual Scrapbooking Retreat and we even did some pages with grids of pattered papers, so I think I still had that on my mind as I created the background for this card. The Lovely Garden paper is meant to compliment these stamps and I just love the colors.  See that Scrapbooking Retreat album in my video here: https://youtu.be/9jVTUppwrWE



I hope you enjoy these cards and will give Blending Brushes a try! You can find the products used below.

Abundant Beauty Stenciled Crate Card

 

Hi everyone! In just 2 more days the new Stampin' Up! mini catalog will go live and I will be able to share it here on my blog. But for now, I thought I would share a fun new product from the catalog.  The product is called Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and it's a set of 7 stencils.   4 of the stencils are used to make up these beautiful sunflowers.  The others are snowflakes, leaves and hounds-tooth pattern. 

I just had to try out the Sunflowers first, and here is my first result.  


I first used Blending Brushes to add the color to the flowers and leaves. I choose to use Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Old Olive. 

Next I used the Timber Embossing Folder to add a wood texture to the cardstock. I then cut the image into three parts.  I used a sponge with Crumb Cake ink on it to add some distressed look to the Vanilla cardstock and help show more of the woodgrain from the Timber Embossing Folder. 

Next I cut the Vanilla piece into three parts, and attached a thin strip behind them to resemble a crate. I used Dimentionals to attach the whole piece to the card base. 

I added a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set on a label cut from the Cheerful Daisies die set.  Behind the label is a bit of linen thread. 

 See a full how to on my YouTube Channel.


The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks will not be in the Online Store until the catalog goes live on September 6th, so I can't add them to the product list yet.
