Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Soft Succulent card – 3” by 3”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

When the circle was covered, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Looks amazing. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto the Basic White circle which was then added to the Soft Succulent scalloped circle. The circle was then added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals and the overhang was trimmed off.

Gorgeous butterfly themed cards made using the Butterfly Bijou dsp by Stampin' Up! for a class in the mail

Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail

Posted on March 19, 2021March 14, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the projects I designed for my April Cass in the Mail using the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou designer Series Paper (dsp). This paper is stunning, I am so sad that it is only available until May or while stocks last.

Each pack contained all the card stock needed to make each card including the pre embossed panel for the two butterfly card, 6 sheets of the Butterfly Bijou dsp – I die cut the butterflies from one of the sheets for those who don’t have the Brilliant Wings dies and I cut the dsp panels for those without a paper trimmer. A strip of Oval Rounds, a gold hoop and a little treat. The ladies provided their own sentiments.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Pink Butterfly card, you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight layer – 4⅛” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Butterfly Bijou dsp – 4” by 3”
Basic White – 4⅛” by ½”

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

The piece of dsp was glued to the Misty Moonlight panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Bermuda Bay card front on Dimensionals.

A butterfly was added using the liquid glue and the card was decorated with the lovely Oval Rounds.

To recreate the Two Butterfly card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Butterfly Bijou dsp – 5⅞” by 1”
Butterfly Bijou dsp 5⅜ by 3⅜”
Basic White layer – 5⅛” by 3⅛” – embossed
Basic White 5⅜ by 3⅜” – for the inside
Die cut Butterflies x 2
Gold Hoop

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

The long strip of dsp was glued to the Misty Moonlight card base using the liquid glue

We added the embossed panel to the larger panel of dsp using the same glue. The panel was embossed using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. The whole piece was then mounted on the Misty Moonlight card base using Dimensionals.

We added the Gold Hoop to the card front using liquid adhesive and the butterflies were added on Dimensionals. The card was decorated with the Oval Rounds

To recreate the Fun Fold Butterfly card, you will:

Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” & 2”
Misty Moonlight – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Basic White – 5⅜“ by 3⅝” x 2
Strips of Butterfly Bijou dsp – 2 ½” long, various widths
¼” Strip of Butterfly Bijou

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

We folded and burnished the card base, the centre panel in half then the other score line back on itself – this makes a Z shape.

The DSP strips were glued to one of the Basic White panels – I alternated butterfly patterns with non-butterfly patterns.

The decorated panel was added to the Misty Moonlight layer and then t the card front, adhering only the left side.

A butterfly was added with liquid glue and decorated with the Oval Rounds.

Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies and Oh So Ombre dsp used for sneak peek customer thank you cards

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it.. The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you and my customers like the cards.
