Christmas card Trio

Happy Sunday everyone! It's Marcie here, and I am thrilled to be back on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog today.  I'm sharing a trio of Christmas cards that were easily created with some gorgeous My Mind's Eye products (and the help of a few other fun things!). 



Journalling cards like the gorgeous ones included in the Market Street collection are a perfect focal point for a quick and easy card to put together. Using the large and small frames from Finished Frames by Avery Elle gives this card a simple but polished look. 

The Doily Circle die by Waffle Flower Crafts adds such an elegant touch of red to this card. Paired with the lovely fonts in the Merry Stamp & Cut set by Hero Arts, this card evokes such a warm and lovely Christmas-y feeling. A touch of sparkle and Glossy Accents make the sentiment really stand out. 

The larger journalling cards in the Market Street collection just beg to be cut apart and decorated! For the final card I fussy cut the Christmas banner and adhered it to more paper from the 6x6 pad, then added gold embossing powder to the ends of the banner and for the sentiment as well.  Of course, I had to have ONE of the cards have my favourite embellishment on it...sequins...obviously. :) 

Thanks for welcoming me back today. It's always a pleasure blogging with Butterfly Reflections, Ink

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...

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 wate...

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...
