Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello! How are you all doing? I hope you had/have a lovely Christmas? Today I'm back on the blog with a wintery card using the totally adorable penguins from Mama Elephant. You can find the products I used in the shop and I will link them for you as well.   First I stamped four penguins from Penguins Go Skating and the sentiment from Tree Picking on some copic friendly paper that I cut as a semi slimline with my paper trimmer. I used my Misti to help me ink the stamps three times on the same spot to get nice black outlines with the MFT Extreme Black ink pad . Once those stamps were done I added the penguin with earmuffs super close to the penguin on the left, so it looks like they are skating together.  I was left with a very empty canvas, that was ready to be colored. It always scares me a little, because I know how I want it to look, but I'm not always sure I can pull it off. But, baby steps help right? So I grabbed my Copic Sketch Markers and started coloring the ...

 Happy Friday, Everyone! Allison here, and I'm happy to be back on the blog today sharing a pair of slimline holiday cards. I used a bunch of new MFT products, all of which can be found in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink. online shop . I have been wanting to use this " Merry and Bright " stamp as a background, and it turns out that it works perfectly for a slimline card. So, I began my cards as I do with so many of my other slimline cards, and that is with the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics die set. I cut a panel out of both pink and green paper. I figured while I was stamping one panel, why not make two? After playing around with the spacing a little bit, I stamped the pink paper with pink ink and the green paper with green ink. The pink ink ended up being more of a tone on tone look. The green ink was a bit more bold. Honestly, I was going for something in between, but you can't win 'em all! While I had my die set out, I went ahead and cut a white scalloped bord...

Hello & Happy December! This is Tiffany and I have to start by telling you that I absolutely LOVE Mama Elephant's Little Penguin Agenda ! I used this stamp set and several other items from the Butterfly Reflection's, Ink. online store to make this card. The card base measures at 9 1/4 x 5 3/4, then score in half lengthwise. This card fits in an A6 envelope. I used Lawn Fawn's mini Polaroid die from their Say Cheese, Again die set, I cut it out 6 times using white card stock. To create the Polaroid backgrounds, I used two shades of blue to ink blend then spattered white and gold paint. I stamped the images from Mama Elephant's Little Penguin Agenda and sentiments from Mama Elephant's Holiday Messages in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Once the images were cut out I colored them with Copic markers and added Diamond Stickles to some of the details. I used red gingham patterned paper from Pebble's Merry Merry 6 x 6 paper pad. I assembled the card using ...

Hello Everyone! Alix here showing you a holiday shaker card that I made to inspire you into the wonderful holiday seasons! Just remember, it's never too early to prepare your holiday cards. To begin with this card, I copic colored all images  from Pretty Pink Posh Elegant Holly and Penguin Pals Stamp sets and die cut them with their coordinating dies ( For Elegant Holly /For Penguin Pals ).  To create the background, I ink blended with Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in  Candied Apple  onto an A2 sized  watercolor paper . I splattered water and quickly removed all liquid with paper towel to create distress look. Once it's dry, I started to create my shaker window. I cut the ornament frame using   Pretty Pink Posh Ornament Shaker Die  and hand cut the inner script part off. Then I attached a piece of acetate paper right underneath of window opening. I poured lots of  Pretty Pink Posh Berry Bright Confetti Mix  onto the back...

Hello and Welcome Summer!!! This fun card I created was totally inspired by Summer, Sun and Fun! I used a very sophisticated tool to create it.... called "my fingers" hahaha.... I finger paint almost all of it with Oxide Inks. I am very happy with the result. CARD DETAILS: I started by die cutting all the pieces of the oh so Fabulous MFT Beach Scene Builder, and here is when things became fancy... I used Distress Oxide inks and my fingers to create the cool look.  I smear a little of oxide ink to my craft mat, added a little water and started painting the piece with my fingers   I used Oxide Inks in colors  Spiced Marmalade  and Fossilized Amber  for the sunset, after I added the color I sprayed the piece with a little bit of  water.   For the ocean I used oxide ink in color Faded Jeans  and for the palm tree  Cracked Pistachio  with the same process.  For the sand I used  Walnut Stain  oxide ink.  ...

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday, and thanks for joining me today! It's Cassie here, and I have a fun Lawn Fawn card for you today. I know what you're thinking...the weather is just turning to fall and I'm talking about winter. I'm being that crazy lady. But honestly, I love thinking up some winter cards before the snow starts falling because it gets me in gear to send out cards on time! Let's take a look at the card. I'm absolutely adoring the new Snow Cool stamp set that Lawn Fawn just came out with. What I really love about it (aside from how dang cute it is!) is that it goes really well with the set from last year Toboggan Together . Both sets feature adorable little penguins and awesome scene building images. For this card I wanted it to look like this little penguin was daydreaming about all the fun things that he was going to do when winter finally arrived.   I started the card by stamping a bunch of little images from each set onto a piece of Br...

Hello there!   Audrey here!  Today I have a card to share with you using a bunch of Lawn Fawn goodies!   love Lawn Fawn so much because all of their products work perfectly together and the possibilities are endless!  I started off diecutting a piece of the Lawn Fawn Let's Bokeh in the Snow 6x6 paper pad with the Small Stitched Rectangles stackables .  Then I cut another stitched rectangle out of white card stock.  I used the forest border die to cut a tree line on the top third of the white panel.  Then, I masked off the bottom third of that same panel and added Tumbled Glass distress ink to add water to my scene for the little iceberg, from the Critters in the Arctic stamp set, to float on.  I stamped, colored, fussy cut, and glittered the igloo from the Critters in the Snow stamp set.  The little penguin couple is from the Toboggan Together Stamp set.  I popped the igloo and iceberg up on foam tape, and then added a sentimen...

Happy Saturday!!!! Danielle here!   I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!!  I know I am! Today, I am here with a clean and simple card featuring Penguins in Paradise by My Favorite Things . I love this set, though I am a HUGE Penguin lover.   I colored that sad little penguin with copic markers and fussy cut him out. Though if you prefer Dies there is a Die-namics Die set for you that coordinates with the stamp set.  I added some Wink of Stella to the inner tube and beach ball to top it all off!   I hope you enjoyed my card.  Be sure to head on over to the BRI Shop to get your cart full of goodies!  ~Danielle
