Relatives

Hi! It's Rubeena on the blog today. I have been anxious to play with My Favorite Things' I Knead You set for the longest! It's back in stock at the store if you want to grab one for yourselves. All the cats are sooo cute!


When I first started, I stamped and colored a few of the cats but when I went to die-cut them, they came out crooked...::insert sad face::. My other option was to die-cut blank pieces and then stamp to the best of my ability and color them again. I also stamped and colored two of the balls of yarn.


Putting the card together required some thinking. I kept wondering what kind of 'scene' to create. These cats looked silly to me, so when I saw this sentiment, I thought it would go well with the bunch. The phrase "you make up for my relatives" comes from the Friends Like Us set. I think it's a must-have in everyone's stash! :-) The pattern paper I used came from this amazing paper pad. The foiled look is gorgeous! I die-cut a rectangle from one of the papers that had a line of foil at the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it in gold to match with the foil. I die-cut two different-sized rectangles from different papers in the pad.


The orange kitty is hanging behind the sentiment, and the other two are at the bottom. I think this was another rather simple but cute card to make. What do you think?


Have a great day!! I really appreciate all the support.

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
