Stampin’ Up! Best of Butterflies in Flight!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Butterflies in Flight!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy 4th of July! Hope you have something fun on your agenda for today, and I hope you take time to be thankful for the freedom and liberty we all enjoy but take for granted!

Today's card uses a technique I've been  admiring for awhile but hadn't tried yet, and I'm not sure what its' official name is, but for this one I'm calling it "butterflies in flight"!

I stamped this butterfly from the Best of Butterflies stamp set in Jet Black StazOn all along the edge of this Whisper White Notecard. I added the colors of Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Wisteria Wonder to the butterflies with a Sponge Dauber, then used my Paper Snips to cut out the edges of the notecard and partially around the butterflies to give the allusion of the butterflies "fluttering" off the page!

Butterfly hi 1

I stamped the "hi" from Regarding Dahlias, then added a butterfly for the dot in the "i" that was stamped with a Papillon Potpourri butterfly, and punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. I added a Basic Black grounding layer to the back of the notecard just to give it a little more pop and substance since Whisper White cardstock is a bit thin as a card base. I finished off the butterflies with small Basic Jewel Pearls.

Butterfly hi 2
 The inside layer has a Wisteria Wonder panel that has been embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder, and the greeting is from the 25th Anniversary set, Best of Greetings.

That's all for now. We are planning to have a get-together with some of Mark's family this evening. We missed the local fireworks because they were last Saturday out at the lake. I never have understood having fireworks early instead of ON the weekend the 4th is closest to, but they don't ask my opinion, so there you go.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Good morning! Lightning quick post here! I'm getting ready for my "Best Of" Class this morning, so this must be quick!

Smile 1

Inspired by Debbie Henderson, I loved her card and wanted to use it for my class, so I created a slightly changed version. I'm not going to detail my changes here, but the "smile" stamp is from the new Happy Day stamp set and the butterfly is from the Best of Butterflies 25th Anniversary Collection set.

Smile 2

I LOVE this saying from Really Good Greetings, and the designer paper is from the black-and-white pack, Modern Medley!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Butterflies???? Again???? Are you tired of them yet? Me either!

These are a couple of the cards from my Best of Butterflies Class in April.


Midnight muse 1
 *Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack

*Friendly Phrases (retiring June 3rd)

*Best of Butterflies

*Flowering Flourishes

*Crumb Cake, Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla cardstock

*Sahara Sand Classic ink, Midnight Muse & Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write

  Markers.

*Dazzling Diamonds Glitter & Two-way Glue Pen

*Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon


Beautiful wings 1
*Friendly Phrases (retiring June 3rd, so if you like this set you need to order it NOW!)

*Best of Butterflies

*Best of Flowers

*Baja Breeze, Whisper White cardstock

*Lucky Limeade, Baja Breeze Classic inks, Jet Black StazOn

*Beautiful Wings Bigz Die & Big Shot

*Two-way Glue Pen

*Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon

*In-Color Printed Brads

The secret to the perfect Negative Masking on this card?

The Two-way Glue Pen!


Stamped
Cut out the butterfly image from the Beautiful Wings Die with copy paper to create the butterfly-shaped mask. Swipe the Two-way glue pen around the outside edges of the butterfly. Allow the glue to air-dry for a few minutes. When air-dried, Two-way glue becomes tacky like a Post-It Note. Lay the mask tacky-side down on your card front. Sponge & stamp inside the mask as desired. For this card I sponged Lucky Limeade and then Baja Breeze. I sponged with a soft, swirling motion to get a smooth, even look.

Before removing the mask, I stamped the "upsy-daisy" image from Best of Flowers with Jet Black StazOn.

The Two-way Glue tackiness should not damage your stamped image and should be easy to remove.

There you are! What do you think? Likey? I definitely likey!

I have two more cards from this class I will share with you tomorrow, but for now I must finish my prep for my "Yes, Mam! Stampers" Downline meeting tonight!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! More Butterflies!

Stampin’Up! More Butterflies!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Butterflies are really HOT right now, with the Best of Butterflies stamp set and the Swallowtail single stamp, there are just endless possibilities! Add in the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches and then the Big Shot Butterlfly Bigz Die and Embosslit, and it just keeps getting better!

This first card features the Swallowtail single stamp in Midnight Muse, with First Edition Specialty Paper (retired), Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding, and Vanilla Flower Trim. It's so beautiful it doesn't even need to "speak", which is my word for stamping a greeting on the front of a card!

Note: all supplies used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless stated otherwise

Swallowtail 1

For this card the Distressed Dots Background was stamped on the Early Espresso layer first, then the Swallowtail was embossed with Black Embossing Powder. Bleach was applied to the image with an Aquapainter. After the bleach had dried and "bleached" the cardstock within the embossed lines, color was applied using Stampin' Write Markers. Gorgeous!

Colored bleach

Our final Swallowtail card is CAS (clean and simple), stamped with Jet Black StazOn. A little bit of not-so-simple was added with the Delicate Design Embossing Folder. This card "speaks" with a "you make me smile" from the new catalog stamp set, A Round Array, punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch!

Basic black

Stay with me now, there's two more cards to share!

This beauty is uses the Elegant Butterfly AND the Bitty Butterfly punches in Not Quite Navy and Silver Glimmer Paper, respectively. "Wonderful You" is from Loving Thoughts, and the ribbon-like layer has been cut with the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Shot Die from Basic Black, Not Quite Navy, and Silver Glimmer!

Tasteful trim

Our final sample today is an eclectic mix of the Best of Butterfly, French Foliage (retiring), Secret Garden & World Treasures stamp sets, with a generous amount of sponging on the edges and hand-colored butterflies with the Blender Pens for a soft look!

Best of butterflies

That's all for today! Hope you are enjoying these swaps! Please leave me a comment to let me know, ok?

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

As always, you can go to My Online Store to order your stamping supplies!
