Holiday Happiness

Image
By
Hi everyone and hellloo Friday! Gladys here and I'm back with a holiday card. Is it just me but is December flying by? I'm soo not ready for Christmas. I haven't done my shopping for everyone and just now getting around to making Christmas cards. Starting next week it is going to be a full house with my husband's family coming in to stay with us for a couple of weeks. I know I will be up every night wrapping presents and making cards, just like Santa's elves. =)
 
Anywhoo here is my card for today, simple and cute using Neat and Tangled Santa's Wonderland stamp set.
 

For my card panel I cut the gift box cover up die from MFT and colored the boxes using  distress inks: broken china, picked raspberry, cracked pistachio, and peacock feathers. I cut another card panel using Lawn Fawn's large stitched rectangle which I used to anchor the first panel. I heat embossed the sentiment from Beary Merry stamp set onto one of the squares. I glued the squares back into it's place using Tombow liquid glue.

I stamped my images from Santa's Wonderland set with Memento tuxedo black ink. I colored them with copic markers and added white scribbles using my Gelly roll white pen. Then I cut them using the coordinating dies and adhered foam tape on the back for dimension.

That is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my  We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool  for the first time and loved it! I cut my own  Tim Holtz watercolor paper  to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer.  I stamped my sentiments that are by  Lawn Fawn Hello Baby  with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral  Distress Inks  and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron  Distress Inks .  I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things  Snuggle Bunnies  for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

By
Hello, hello!  Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog .  It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink!   Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards.  What do I mean, you wonder?  Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color.     For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks.  You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color.   I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

Penny Black All Lit Up + MFT Delightful Deer

By
Hi everyone, Amanda here today with a project I created using my favorite theme, nature and deer combined!  Add in a little  distress inking and WOW!   So I started with an A2 sized panel. I cut a hill using Newton's Nook Designs Land Borders  to create a mask for the bottom. I distress inked from center of my panel, working outward using a combination of yellows, greens and blues. I inked all the way down to the hill, then removed it to leave the white of the card appearing to be a snow hill. Now I take this GORGEOUS stamp, All Lit Up by Penny Black  and stamp it using VersaFine Black Onyx ink.  Using my MISTI, I was able to stamp it twice to get a nice dark impression. I then cut white acrylic paint 50/50 and tapped it on my night sky using a small paint brush. You'll notice on the image, there are little circles where you'd color in your lights or ornaments. I chose to use Nuvo Drops in gold and silver.  While all that was drying, I cut out a deer from
