I arranged the leaves on one of the Very Vanilla panels before adhering them down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I find it really helps to have a dry run first, laying the leaves and branches in position and moving them around until I get the look I am after before committing myself.

The decorated layer was then added to the Bumblebee panel with the same liquid glue. I used the same glue to attach the panel to the Soft Suede card base.

Scraps of alcohol inked vellum used to make a pretty double butterfly themed card using the Brilliant Wings dies

Double Butterfly card

Today I have made a pretty double butterfly card made using alcohol inked vellum left over from my class projects last month (see the post on the 17th September 2021).

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the double butterfly card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Daffodil Delight card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Vellum – big enough to die cut your butterflies

I used Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.

Using a pipette filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and smacked it against a Bone Folder to spray small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum. This allows the ink to start spreading. The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry.

Using second generation Smoky Slate ink I stamped one of the rectangle images from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. The dotty image was stamped in full strength Smoky Slate randomly across the stamped rectangle.

Taking the dry vellum panel and the Brilliant Wings Dies I die cut 2 butterflies. Vellum can be tricky to die cut with a detailed die and I find placing the die, cutting side up gives me the best cut. I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get out the fiddly pieces.

I took my time to choosing patterns from the gorgeous Pansy Petals dsp. My friend loves purple so these were the colours I went for first. I added in the Soft Succulent gingham to break up the purple. The dsp was adhered to the Basic White panels which were then glued to the Gorgeous Grape card.

I carefully folded and burnished the score lines of the card to form the tri-fold shutter shape.

A summer ice cream themed card made using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Builder Punch by Stampin' Up!

Summer Ice Creams for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Pick A Season’. After a lot of too-ing and froing I have settled on Summer and have chosen to make my card using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and co-ordinating Ice Cream Builder Punch to make a sweet Summer Ice Creams card. Love an ice cream on a hot summer’s day.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the Summer ice creams card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Cinnamon Cider 4⅝” by 3¼”
BW 4¾” by 3½”
BW 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap WW, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso

Taking the speckled image I stamped Pool Party ink onto the upper right and lower left corners of the Pool Party card base.

Using the wider of the Water Painter Brushes I added a wash of Pool Party ink to the smaller of the Basic White panels. The panel was added to the Cinnamon Cider panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Pool Party card front using the same liquid glue.

Colours used in this project are:

The sentiment, from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink.  My customers will have to chose a sentiment from their own stash.

The whole panel was added to the Evening Evergreen layer with the same glue and I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.

I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut detailed flowers to the flower bases. I had to move them around until they lined up. The liquid glue was squeezed out onto my Silicon Craft Mat, picked up with a Sponge Dauber and dabbed on the back of the detailed flower.

Using my Bone Folder I curved the flowers to give them some shape. The darker flower was then glued to the card base with a spot of liquid glue in the centre.

The second, lighter coloured flower was added on a Dimensional and the leaf tucked behind and secured with a dab of liquid glue.

I added a 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewel to the centre of each flower and a third to the jewel to the background.
