Have a Beautiful Day

Hello! Kim here today to share this card using dies and stencils. I stenciled the Roof Tiles pattern onto watercolor paper to give it some texture. I used three different colors and a blending tool to create the stenciled background. I used Sweet Stamps' Flutterby Sweet Cuts to die cut three butterflies and adhered it glued the cut out and solid image to each other I folded the wings up for some dimension. I then added the rhinestones to each of the butterfly's body. Next was to adhere the stencil cardstock onto the card front then placed the butterflies on top. I saved the sentiment for last so I know where to place it.

Scripty Butterflies with Leah

Alas, my reign of watercolor has ended for this month, lol, but that doesn't mean I won't do it again soon muwahahahaha.

For this project, although not watercolor, it is an equally fun technique, that you can find more about on my blog at Ode to Paper.  I used the Flutterby #2 Sweet Cuts die for this technique, as well as the Artsy Fartsy French Script ATC background stamp, Framed Handwritten Words clear stamp set, some Glastique and some Shades Dye Ink in Amaryllis.

There are so many dies, stamps and other fun stuff in the Sweet Stamps online shop, and you create so many different things with them!  The possibilities are endless, and i want to try them all!!!!!

See you next month (lol) for more Sweet Stamps creative fun :)

Flutterby Trio with Leah

I'm back some more sweet summer inspiration for you lol.  See, I am stuck on summer, no way around it, might as well embrace it!

I had a lot of fun with this card, and it turned out so totally different from where it started.  If you would like to see more details about how I created this card, please visit my blog at Ode to Paper.

For this project I used the Daisy Side rubber stamp, the Flutterby #2 Sweet Cuts die, a sentiment from the Kitty Sweets clear stamp set, and some wonderful Glastique! (I am totally in love with that stuff :)

You can find all of these products in the Sweet Stamps online shop, as well many more fun products that will spark your creativity.

Thanks for visiting, and check back often for more awesome inspiration from the new DT Sweeties!

Stencil Patterns and Butterflies

This is a great layout to show off some of the new stencils from SweetStamps.  The top design is 3x6" Tangrams, center - 3x6" Checker Flowers, bottom - Backsplash.  Ranger Distress Ink was used to sponge the colors.  Over the stop of the stenciling molding paste was applied using the stencil 6x6" Encircled Diamonds and once the paste was dry the stencil was replaced and distress ink was applied for color then sticky powder and Micro Fine Glitter was applied.

 

Aged White enamel was sprinkled on the edges and popped into the toaster oven to melt.  I found a very small one at Salvation Army and it's much easier to use than a heat gun - no fly away powder!

Glitter paper was created using heat and stick and Micro Fine Glitter, one set of butterflies were cut from the glitter paper and a second set from the purple.  Also four backs (this is a two pieces butterfly set) were cut so the glitter paper pieces could be inlaid into the purple outline and just the opposite was also created and I'll have a second set on hand for another project.   

Other supplies:
Paper: Bazzill - purple, all other papers unknown
Ink: VersaMark for embossing, Ranger Distress Ink - tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade, spun sugar, shaded lilac
Tools: Perfect Layers used for spacing the panels, butterflies -  Flutterby #2
Accessories: unknown gems, Paper Glaze for adhesive, Aleene's tacky glue for butterfly assembly and attaching to the card
