Butterfly Brilliance Swap Card

I joined in a swap for the new Butterfly Brilliance bundle and the limited time only paper (Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and Natural Touch Specialty paper).

Not only do I have the butterfly swap in this post but I have two others to show how the same layout can be made no mater what you have. One of them is even masculine.

The squares are 1 1/2″ and the mat is 1 5/8″ with alternate corners rounded.

I sprayed Frost White Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol on both layers of the butterfly but you can’t really see it in my photos.

The dragonfly was stamped on vellum cardstock using Mossy Meadow and then embossed using clear embossing powder. It works on vellum because the dye ink doesn’t dry quickly, if at all.

My photo also doesn’t show how the gold embossing is shiny on the globe and base as well as the brass in the goldish paper.

Masculine Graduation Card

I love how the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper is photographs of textures, it makes for great masculine cards. Today I’ve got a graduation card using the paper with the Beautiful World stamp set. The globe is in Crumb Cake but I stamped off first before stamping on my paper because I didn’t want it too dark.

The challenge is over but that doesn’t mean I can’t use the sketch. 🙂 My sketch is from The Paper Players.

Supplies:

Bundles – Beautiful World, World of Good Suite, In Good Taste Suite
Stamp Sets – Beautiful World
Die Cutting & Embossing – Stitched Rectangle
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Paper – Early Espresso, Whisper White Thick, In Good Taste
Accents & Embellishments – Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim
Tools – Stamparatus
Adhesive – Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ SEAL, Tear & Tape

You Make the World a Better Place

I’m playing with some more of my new toys. I pulled out the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder and the Beautiful World bundle along with Cinnamon Cider to create this card.

I embossed the front of my card with the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder. I tore off about 3/4″ from the right edged and then inked the edge with a sponge and Cinnamon Cider ink. I also lightly rubbed the front of the card with the sponge and Cinnamon Cider ink to pull out some of the details. I embossed the quill in gold but I think I really need a brass embossing powder to match the patterned paper.

I’m playing along with TGIF Challenges #TGIFC268.

World of Good

The World of Good suite is perfect for graduation cards. I created this card based on a sketch Rachel Tessman challenged her group to use. The Designer Series Paper has bronze foiled sheets that are fabulous looking and perfect for masculine cards.

Here is the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
