STAMPtember Butterfly Rose Bouquet

For my card today, I’m featuring the new Billow Butterfly, so let’s run through the details.

To begin, I stamped the floral image from the SSS Orchid Rose Bouquet on a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using PFS Misty Coast Ink. I chose this ink, because I wanted a very light background that didn’t distract from the focal point of the card. I then trimmed the panel down using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles, and cut so that the floral image was on the bottom portion of my card panel.

I used the SSS Etched Eucalyptus Wreath and cut three of those from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and adhered them together using liquid glue. Next, I used the new SSS Billow Butterfly to cut some of the butterflies from some scrap Tim Holtz patterned paper that I had hanging around in my stash. This die is super cool, because it’s one piece that cuts several different butterflies, including solid butterflies as well as, outline butterflies. I opted for the solid for this particular project, because I wanted to be able to see the print of the patterned paper. Once the butterflies were cut, I adhered the bodies using liquid glue and moved on to working on the sentiment.

For the sentiment, I used the thank you die, which is from the SSS Handlettered Greetings set. I die cut the sentiment once from Burnished Rose cardstock, and four times from Neenah 110lb, and adhered all of those together. I wanted the sentiment to be thick, so that it would be sturdy.

To assemble the card, I glued the wreath to the stamped panel, and then glued the patterned butterflies atop the wreath. The butterflies are only glued down at the bodies, so that their wings could be curled for added dimension. Once those were in place, I adhered the sentiment only where it comes into contact with the wreath, hence wanting a thicker sentiment for sturdiness. I trimmed off the excess portions of the sentiment and added some clear drops for a little shine. The panel was then adhered to the card base using foam tape.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty as well.

Birthday Checking In

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for stopping by! STAMPtember has arrived! Are you excited? Have you checked out the release yet? What are your favorites? I would love to know in the comments! I’m here today with a card featuring the brand new Checking In stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. So, let’s go through the details, shall we?

I began by stamping the floral image from the SSS Checking In set onto a panel of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock in the corners using VersaMark Ink and heat setting that using SSS Detail White Embossing Powder. Once the stamping was done, I used the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles to trim the panel down.

To add color to the flowers, I used a white colored pencil, as well as a graphite pencil and a blending stump. After the coloring was completed, I splattered the panel using White Acrylic Ink.

For the sentiment, I opted for the SSS Happy Birthday Brush Script and cut that three times from black cardstock, adhering them all together using liquid glue. I then adhered the sentiment to my panel between the florals and added some pearls for a little added interest.

To finish up, the stamped panel was adhered to a black panel for contact using foam tape, and that was then adhered to the card base.

Super simple card, but I like the monochromatic tone of the finished project. I hope you enjoyed it as well. Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release, and buckle up for an exciting month! The collaboration sets will start rolling out soon! Thanks again for stopping by and have yourself a wonderful day!
