Butterfly Gala - Flowers for Every Season - Stampin' Up! 2020

Summer is now at an end and fall is here in full force, but it is always in season to make cards with butterflies!  I received a Secret Sister card, which I loved so I decided to CASE it and this is the result.  

I was happy to cut into some of the Flowers for Every Season DSP to make this a quick and easy card.  This paper features the new In Colors, with Misty Moonlight used for the card base and butterflies.

The Butterfly Gala punched elements were easy to colour with the blends.

For this card I used:

Misty Moonlight card stock

Misty Moonlight Blends

Balmy Blue Blends

Misty Moonlight Classic Ink (to stamp)

Butterfly Gala stamp set and co-ordinating punch

Flowers for Every Season DSP

Stitched Rectangles

Butterfly Wishes (for sentiment)

Elegant Faceted Gems

Butterfly Gala - Stampin' Up! 2020

Today's card was received in the mail from my Secret Sister for my birthday.   It's a program from a buy 'n sell stamp related Facebook group.  The year is almost up!  I have loved each and every one of the cards I received, some of which I posted on this blog.

I love everything about this card.  The embossing folder technique; the way the rectangle die was used and of course the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set which can be punched out with the co-ordinating butterfly punch.

I really want to CASE this card;  I will post very soon.  It will  only be a similar card as I don't have that embossing folder.

So, thanks for stopping by and viewing this wonderful card!

Very Versailles - Butterfly Gala - Stampin' Up! 2019

I saw a card on a Demonstrator Facebook page (Isabelle Amara, I believe) and decided I wanted the Very Versailles stamp set.  I then made her card (with a couple of changes).  Her card is lovely, sweet and simple; just what I was looking for.

I used the Butterfly Gala stamp set that co-ordinates with the Butterfly Duet punch.  All stamping was done with Blueberry Bushel ink.  I coloured one of the Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems with the Night of Navy Blends and added it to the abdomen of the butterfly.

After stamping the script background and leaf branch I used the Wink of Stella and coloured in all the leaves for a bit of shimmer.  Be careful using the Wink of Stella....it is water based just like the blue ink so the colour moves.  My pen slipped and I ended up with a streak off one of the leaves.  I used a Rhinestone (coloured with the Blends Night of Navy Marker) and covered the error.  I then added two more rhinestones.

Here I wanted to see what two small butterflies would look like.

I had another slip of the pen here at the top of my card.  That is how I ended up with a small butterfly at the top and the larger one at mid point.

Very Versailles, such a lovely stamp set.  I think the stamps would work so well on a scrapbook page too!

Garden Lane - Butterfly Gala - Stampin' Up!

#loveitchopit

Here is my first card with the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper that debuted in the new 2019-2020 annual catalogue.

As part of the #loveitchopit method of using designer series paper, I chopped up (only 1/2 of the pack for starters) this paper into 5.25" X 4" pieces.  From there I decide what I want to do with the paper.

To help me get started I pulled out a few of my samples from the past that used patterned paper as the focal point. Then,  I just changed things up to suit the paper and colours.

Here is a link to the 2015 card I made with this layout.

https://turtlecreations-papercrafts.blogspot.com/2015/10/tin-of-cards-with-autumn-traditions.html 

Today's card uses Shaded Spruce as the card base.  After cutting the patterned paper to size, I scored at 1/2" and folded so the reverse side showed on the front.

I used the Shaded Spruce Blends marker to colour three rhinestones and placed them in front of the sentiment from Butterfly Gala. 

There is also some Wink of Stella on all of the darkest leaves on the paper.  Can't seem to leave the Wink of Stella off of anything! 

All in all a simple card. 

Garden Lane Designer Series Paper

$15.95

See pages 165 and also 40-41 for suite options.

I will have several more from this paper in the coming days, before I cut into a different pack of yummy paper!

Butterfly Gala - Waterfront - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up! 2019

#loveitchopit 

I love using the blends to colour the butterflies.  Just choose colours from the paper and colour!

It was hard to decide whether to use very vanilla or whisper white for the die cut from Stitched Label Framelit.  White seemed too bright so I went with very vanilla;  I'm not crazy about it; oh well ;)

The sentiment is from Waterfront and that's some old Pool Party seam binding ribbon.

Get out your paper and chop it!

Butterfly Gala - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

#loveitchopit

Two little butterflies from Butterfly Gala were added to this Attic  Boutique Designer Series Paper (2012).  I had stamped a few sentiments a long time ago for another project and didn't end up using, so I just grabbed one and then added a few tiny pearls....and called it done!

The butterflies were coloured with Blends alcohol markers and covered with Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.

Working on another a quick and easy card with this stamp set and paper...so check back!

In the meantime visit my on-line store

New catalogue launches tomorrow, June 4th.

Getting some use out the Butterfly Gala stamp set and punch that I just purchased recently.  I love this set.  I am adding the butterflies to several of the cards from this 2012 paper Attic Boutique.  Blends markers make colouring them so enjoyable...for an non artsy person ;)

I used Flirty Flamingo card stock and retired Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim.  The butterfly is mounted on a die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  On the butterfly there is a diamond shape rhinestone from the Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems.

Having fun using old and new.  I think my next pack of paper I shop will be current, but first I want to finish up with Attic Boutique!

See you soon

Butterfly Gala - Attic Boutique - Stampin' Up!

#loveitchopit

Another quick and easy card with the 2012 Attic Boutique DSP.  Once again the paper does all the work.  This time, Butterfly Gala makes an entrance; coloured with Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo Blends alcohol markers.  There is a little bit of shimmer on the wings from the Wink of Stella.
I can tell I will be using these butterflies a lot!  They were easy to colour and and easy to punch out.

The sentiment (I can't remember the stamp set this was from) - I found it in my stash of pieces I've made in the past but didn't end up using.

Three tiny pearls were added to finish off the card.
