You Make Life Wonderful: Using Fall Stamps to Make a Valentine's Day Card

Hello, BRI friends!  It's Andrea hanging out with you today (Can you believe they let me come back for a visit?!), and I'm sharing a Valentine-themed card using some non-traditional stamps. 


Isn't that squirrel too cute?!  He's from Reverse Confetti's Nuts About You stamp set, and his little bird friend is from RC's Lift Me Up.  I stamped both critters with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored them with my Zigs and a waterbrush.  Once they were dry, I cut them out and added some details with a white gel pen.


I just love that gorgeous heart panel!  I die-cut a rectangle of white cardstock with RC's All Heart Cover Panel Confetti Cuts Die and backed it with some pink paper.  I adhered both to a white card and added some of the die-cut hearts back to the panel.  I die-cut a heart from Bristol paper and inked it up with Worn Lipstick distress ink before flicking on some water for interest.


After adhering the heart with foam tape, I added those darling critters on top.  Onto some black cardstock, I stamped a sentiment from RC's You're So with Versamark and white heat-embossed it.  I added that to my card with two layers of foam tape and finished the card with some Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sequins and Glossy Accents.

Have a great weekend!

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
