Hugs On Your Birthday

Hi peeps. How's your Saturday going? Hope it starts off wonderfully. Vera here. For today, I am taking a little break from Christmas cards and go for birthday card. When I saw Concord & 9th Heartstrings die, I knew right away that I have to have it. Seriously, they always come out with such cool and neat design. I love their stuff.

At first, I was going to do shaker card. But, while working on it, I thought, oh I shouldn't waste the inside part of the heart and decided to color them for later use. And, you know how it goes.... It's like a puppy when they see squirrel! Oh look.... squirrel... zoom, change direction. That's me. Hah!

So, instead of shaker card, I ended up using the colored inside part of the heart and end up with colorful, cutesy card. Can't resist pretty colors. And, here's what I end up with:

After I finished adhering the heart pieces, I was like, hm... I need something cute & fun. Well, tadaaa... this cutie patootie from MFT Adorable Elephants set come to the rescue. To this day, this is one of my all time favorite elephant set. To ground the elephant, I added a strip of patterned paper from MFT gingham paper pad.

Then finished with a sentiment from Avery Elle Simply Said Hugs set. Love, love, love the style of the word "hugs" on this set. I am pretty darn happy with the way this card turned out. Seems like everything come together nicely. And, I get to combine products from 3 companies in 1 card. Yay!

Here's a close up look of the card, so you can see the pretty shimmer on the heart. yep, I am all about shimmer. I covered the heart with Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.

Well peeps, I hope this card makes you smile with its cuteness and happy colors. Only 2 more weeks to Christmas and today my goal is to get our Christmas tree up! Enjoy your weekend. Cheerio...

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
