Taylored Expressions

G ood Morning Friends! It is Dana here today and I am excited to be back sharing a card with you all. For my card today, I am using some fun birthday supplies from Taylored Expressions.

I started my card by stamping the Taylored Expressions Gifted Background Stamp with VersaFine Clair Black Ink. I stamped my background twice, once for the back panel and once for the front. I then heat set my stamping with Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I used one of my stamped panels and attached the Gifted Stencil to the panel with Purple Tape to hold it in place. I then added Distress Oxide Ink in a variety of colors to my panel.

Next, I used the second panel I had stamped and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Gifted Cutting Plate. The cutting plate lines up perfectly with the stenciled background, so I then just attached the two panel together. To clean up the edges and to finish my card panel I ran it through my die cutting machine with Waffle Flower A2 Layered Die. This is a great set of basic dies, great for creating perfect card panels and mats.

To finish my card, I used the Simple Strips Background Stamp to create my sentiment. Once it was stamped, I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Simple Strips Backer Die. Do you have these Simple Strips sets from Taylored Expressions? I can't recommend them enough! They are a definite must have.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you liked my card and I hope to be back soon to share another project with you all.
Enjoy your day,
Dana

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

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
