Happy Birthday and Hello!

Hello there!! I can't tell you how excited I am to be here today, my first post as a DT member for this new term!! I have loved Vanessa's store for a while and LOOOVE her selection and amazing fast shipping! Coast to coast she gets me my order in 2 days, gotta love that :)

I have been stamping for about 10 years now. I started out scrapbooking, but quickly realized that stamping and card making is where my heart is at. In the past year, I've begun experimenting in mixed media and art journaling and my love of papercrafts has just exploded! I am never bored, never looking for something to fill my time. I just love this hobby of ours, so fulfilling and look at all these fabulous people and friends we meet! GAH! I'm just so happy to be here:)

Okay, now for my card!


I pulled out some Heidi Swapp Favorite Things 6x6 paper pad and picked a couple patterns I liked. Next, I ran the pink piece through my Bigshot with MFT's Stitched Speech Bubble die to create that fun piece for my sentiment! The sentiments are from WPlus9's Strictly Sentiments 5 stamp set. I love this stamp set, there is a greeting for many occasions and the font is just to die for! The little white flowers are from MFT's Scribbles Die-namics. I turned the scribbles into a couple roses and then hand-drew in some stems and leaves, as well as the border around the card front. I used the delicious Abandoned Coral and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks to sponge on the pink and turquoise/white pieces, I love the depth this quick little inking created, and those colors, ahhhh...love them:)



Well that about does it for me today! I'm so excited to be here among this fabulous design team and all of you! I can't wait to share more and make new friends:) Thanks for popping by today!

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

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

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, then tore the vel
