Spin Me Around for the Surprise Inside

Hey friends! Britney here featuring a card with a fun surprise…a Turner Surprise. Mama Elephant’s Turner Surprise Creative Cuts and Circle of Friends stamp set will be featured on this card.

Starting with my background, I cut a sheet of rainbow paper from the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper pack using the largest of the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle dies. I like how it leaves a nice white frame around the card. I cut the turner handle piece using a scrap of that same rainbow paper. I cut my scalloped circle out of Lawn Fawn No. 2 Pencil cardstock. I stamped my sentiments using Lawn Fawn Embossing Ink and used white embossing powder on the background and the scalloped circle. Doing this kind of stamping is always easier before everything is adhered together.

I inked up my images on smooth white cardstock using Gina K Black Amalgam Ink and colored them with my Copics. I used the other circle from the Turner Surprise Creative Cuts to cut out my Circle of Friends. I added highlights with my white gel pen and accents to the eyes and noses with a black glaze pen.Let everything dry before assembling, otherwise, you will smudge the gel pen marks.

I inked up some paper with some coordinating Lawn Fawn ink (Grape Soda) and used the star from the Turner Surprise Creative Cuts to use in the center of my circle. I used a star from the Circle of Friends set and used it to stamp stars in coordinating colors on both circle pieces of my Turner Surprise.

Lastly, I stamped an arrow from the Circle of Friends set on the pull tab and added a little Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to the star and the birthday hats on the critters next to the sentiment. I popped up my Turner Surprise and my other critters using Darice foam adhesive strips. I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it. I hope you have a wonderful day and hope you join me again for another blog post.

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

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
