Flying by to say...

Hi crafty peeps, it’s Heather here to share a fun card I created using the new ADORABLE Maverick stamps and dies by Hello Bluebird. I have to tell you, I’ve been dying to use these stamps/dies on an interactive card for a while now! As I sat down to create I couldn’t decide if I wanted to create a shaker card or a slider card... SO I DID BOTH!!!
After choosing my images, coloring them with Copics, and die cutting them out I decided to add a bit of Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter to the clouds for a bit of sparkle. Then I die cut the Stitched Hillside Backdrop (Landscape) by Lawn Fawn out of some Bristol paper. Pulled out my Distress Oxides - Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, and Faded Jeans - and the MFT Cloud Stencil and set to work inking up the background scene. I then cut this Hillside Backdrop 12 times (!!!) from plain white cardstock. Yes, 12 times!! I somehow convinced myself that because of the type of card I wanted to create this would be more seamless than using foam tape or fun foam. I think it’s definitely more seamless - but it was a bit time consuming! In retrospect, I wish I'd also inked up the the inside edges of the border with the Stormy Sky so that there's not a POP of white around the cloudy card base - but ya live and learn!
Finally I went to work gluing the Hillside Backdrop frames together to assemble the double interactive card. I glued 6 frames together stacking them up, added a piece of acetate to next frame before gluing it down, then added a bunch of sequins before gluing that down onto the stack {shaker window is done}. Next I added 5 more frames to the pile then cut a slider mechanism out of another piece of acetate using the Lawn Fawn Slide on Over die, before attaching a penny and a MFT Slider Elements to the critter in the airplane and adding it to the front panel of the card and BOOM - we’ve got a Shaker and Slider card!! I finished it off with a few birdies and one of the fun sentiments in that awesome stamp set!
I hope you give this technique a try. It was a lot of fun to create and is a lot of fun to play with!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

By
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....

By
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...

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...
