Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop


Good Morning! My friend Amy Tsuruta organized a Coffee Lovers Blog Hop a few months ago and it was so fun she decided to do another HOLIDAY themed one. Shockingly, I agreed to play along and actually MAKE something as well as be a prize sponsor. I know, right?! {You can close your mouths now. bwahahahaha}


You would think with all the fun goodies I have coming in to the shop, I'd be rolling around in all the products and getting crafty. The truth is that I don't often get time to play and when I do, I just don't have the creative energy at all. I do love coffee and have recently gotten some new coffee themed things so I wanted to make sure I made some time to create something for this occasion! 

I pretty much knew right away that I wanted to use the coffee/latte paper from the Hot Cocoa paper pad and decided to use My Favorite Things new Cool Day stamp set. {Too many stamps, too little time. HA!} I layered a red tag in the back of a Sn@p cut card from Simple Stories Cozy Christmas line. I Copic colored the polar bear (not very well! HA!) and then paper pieced his sweater. I used my snow marker to make the fuzzy part of his hat and added a tiny pom pom. To finish the card I added the Merry Christmas speech bubble veneers, a snowflake with an enamel dot center, some white Stampin' Up! sweater trim and Stickled up the mug! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and hope you like it, too! <3 




This is the prize package I'm giving away. Lots of fun goodies from Prima's Coffee Break collection!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

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....

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

Hey, hey BRI friends!  We're hopping today to celebrate the 4th Birthday of Altenew , one of our favorite stamping companies!  You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon  creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink  and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products .   First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set .   I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored.   I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush .  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
