Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Oh you guys, I am so excited about this one! I've wanted this fairy stamp set from Hello Bluebird Stamps for a long time and it is everything I dreamed! If these aren't the cutest little images ever, then l'm crazy. I just love them so much! And they put me in the mood for spring, which seems like forever away right now. 

Here are the stamps and dies used from the Butterfly Reflections, Ink Store:

I started by stamping all of the images from the Garden Fairy stamp set onto my white cardstock, then coloring them with my Copic Markers (if you look closely, you'll see I added eyelashes to the fairy's eyes). I knew I wanted some soft pastel colors, but decided I wanted each fairy t…

Hi everyone, Ashley here and I'm so happy to be sharing another card with you on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog!

Today, I played along with the Butterfly Reflections Ink February Mood Board. If you want to find out more about the mood board, check out this post on the BRI blog. I challenged myself to stay within the colour themes of the board (pinks, red and silver) while building a scene that wouldn't normally be built with those colours. I think the final result is pretty cool!


To make the background, I first blended some Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar onto a panel of watercolour paper using the My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil. I then used more ink blending (Distress Oxide Ink in Festive Berries, Barn Door, Worn Lipstick and Iced Spruce) to make the puff of lava and smoke erupting from the volcano. I masked off everything but the lava puff, and splattered it with water, silver watercolour paint and red watercolour paint.


I added some sequins and heart embellishments i…

Hello and welcome back to the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog. It's Silvia here today with an absolutely yummy card.


I started by stamping images from the Mama Elephant "Baked with love" stamp set with Memento black ink, I colored them with alcohol markers and I fussy cut them (if you prefer, you can use the coordinating dies ).
I die cut a4 1/4x5 1/2 white rectangles and I ink blended it with salty ocean and faded jeans Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water, inks and some liquid stardust drops.


I then die cut two panel (one from white cardstock and one from Lawn Fawn kraft cardstock) using the "Peekaboo Backdrop" die. I used the white inside panels to create the grass, using Hello Bluebird "Grassy knoll" dies and shubby shutters and evergreen bough Distress Oxide inks.


I then assembled all my elements with liquid glue and I added some Trinity Stamps "Boiled Sugar-Jelly drop hearts" embellishments.



I'm really happy of how …

Hi friends! Happy Monday...I'm excited to be sharing another project with you today on the blog. For my card today, I used a bunch of products from Hello Bluebird to create this sweet card.


To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2", and ink blended my panel with  Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered clean water and Peacock Feathers(thinned out with water) with a paintbrush onto my inked background, and set aside to dry.

Next, I cut the scalloped frame three times from white cardstock, using the Gallery Frame #2 Dies. I then used the Rainbow Sky Dies to cut the rainbow and clouds. I assembled the rainbow and attached to the card base and trimmed off the excess. I placed the stacked rectangles on top and glued it down.


Next, I stamped the images from Elephant Friends Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and added highlights with a White Pen. I then die cut my colored images us…

Hey everyone, it's Julianne here back with a card I know Vanessa is going to love! I'm sure if you follow either Vanessa or I on social media you saw that I recently had the most amazing opportunity to visit New Hampshire and teach some classes at Butterfly Reflections. Teaching was amazing and I had fun spending my time with other crafters, but I have to say the best part was being able to SHOP! If you haven't had a chance to visit the store, I so recommend it. It was amazing seeing all the wonderful brands all together in one place.
But let's get back to my card for today I'm going to be making a card that features some Waffle Flower Crafts products that I picked up while at the store, Mailbox Die, Sweet Sentiments Stamp Set, (Sweet Mailbox Stamp & Die), Sending Love Stamp & Die and finally Layering Woodgrain Stamp Set.
While visiting the store, there was a day where Vanessa received at least 15 packages of new goodies so I wanted my mailbox to be full of…

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back sharing a project with you all. For my card today, I am combining a new stamp set from Reverse Confetti along with an older, but favorite die of mine.


I started my card by making my card panel. I used the Reverse Confetti On The Curve Cover Panel and die cut it from a variety of colors. I then inlaid all of the pieces back into the negative spaces on the die in rainbow order...I love a rainbow background!


Next, I stamped the images from the Reverse Confetti Crafty Critters Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I then used the Crafty Critters Die Set to die cut the images. Isn't that zebra just the cutest?

To finish my card, I die cut a vellum circle with the MFT Die-namics Stitched Circle die. Lastly, I attached my images and sentiment with foam adhesive to my card front. I can't wait to get this card in the mail to a crafty friend!


Thanks for joining me today! I hop…
