Flightful Birthday!

Hey everyone!

I'm here today with a birthday card I made on order. The only brief I had from the client was that the card be something that could be displayed in a shelf long after the birthday has passed. So my obvious choice was an easel card. But I didn't want to do a normal one. I used a double twisted easel card because the extra panels gave me space to put in little sentiments apart from the birthday message. Have included 2 tags for the family to put in their messages as well. 

Lets have a look

A close up of the left panel

The image is a Micia stamp i got from lulupu. I stamped and coloured the blooms, used some glossy accents and stickles. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado stamped on PP with love letter dew drop.

I recently got some Bo Bunny stamps, on the back of which was a little tip that you scuff the stamp with a regular pink eraser for great inking. I've always had trouble inking fiskars and inkadinkado, so i thought "why not?" And boy, did it work!! my happy birthday came out crisp and clear! Im so happy and this has solved all my inking issues with acrylic stamps :) So everyone who's having trouble with inking, just scuff the top with any eraser, dust off the stamp and you're good to go!! :)

The butterfly is also an easel which you can see here. Got the idea from the easel card to begin with. Shall share a tute for it in my next post :)

A look at the left side

I used a spellbinders die to cut the window and then planted blooms in the sill.. :) i loved the cute lil effect its made :) some punch out butterflies for flights of fancy :) the sentiment is from kaiserkraft :)

Hope you liked them :)

Stamping galore!

Hey everyone

I'm back today with two cards made with one single stamp set :) and yes, about butterflies. Who doesn't love em eh?! ;)

Since starting my blog, I've discovered that there are oodles of techniques and creative ideas that I have in my head, but never used! I am so glad that I've begun my blog to showcase my crafty journey :)

Here are my cards..

Surprised? Don't be! They're both made from one stamp set! It's butterfly wishes from fiskars. 

On the first card I decided to not use a sentiment and keep it all about the stamp. 

I stamped, embossed and fussy cut the image. The little brown Vine on the side is also made by stamping the leaf flourish with rich cocoa memento. 

A closer look 

I used rainbow sparkle embossing powder on the butterflies.. Here's a close up 

For the second card I thought about keeping it simple, yet entirely different. 

As you can see in the stamp image above, the butterfly originally had a little flourish below it. Being a clear stamp, I just cut it :) personally I thought it was looking very OTT.. 

Stamped, embossed the image on Kraft CS and used the sentiment on a little self-made tag :) I used the corner punch from the MS punch-around-the-page set and rounded the sides. 

Loved the little toffee look it gave! Used some buttons and a mellow-yellow ribbon to finish it off :)

Hope you liked them! :)
