Zesty Lemon Pop Up Card

Hi crafty friends! Today I am sharing a pop up card featuring the Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemons! I love these lemons! I never knew lemons could be so cute!

I stamped the gingham pattern on the inside of the card and on a separate panel for the front. (Tip: if you want something easier, use gingham paper! That background took 4 tries to get right haha!) Then I die cut lots of lemons from colored cardstock and used some Distress oxides to add a hint of shading on the lemons and leaves. I used Copic markers to color the flower details and added a happy face on the lemon (those pink cheeks aren't showing up well in the picture, sorry!).

I made the pop up mechanism according to this Jennifer McGuire video (link is time stamped to the exact spot for your convenience). The great thing about this pop up technique is that no special dies are required! I stamped the gingham pattern on both sides of my pop up piece to camouflage it against my background. For my card, I made the pop up piece 4"x4" and scored it at 1.5", 2", and 3.5". This will allow the lemon pile to pop out a bit but not so much that it leaves no space to write a message on the bottom of the card.

I made my sentiment pretty general so that it could easily become a thank you card or even a birthday card (throw a birthday hat on the lemon on the front!).

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

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
