This is a Focus Friday card. During the month of June, we are looking at different ways to use designer series paper. I used the Beautiful Shapes dies to create this card. I love having hexagons in various sizes. It’s a great way to use up scraps. I saw a scrapbook page that used hexagons as focal images and thought that I wanted to do the same with a card.

How to Use Layering Stencils – Focus Friday – Butterflies & Flowers Stencil – Best Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to Focus Friday. For the month of March, we are focusing on stencils. Today we are looking at layering stencils. Layering stencils allow you to build up detail, depth and texture to an image. I’ve used the butterfly image here from the Butterflies & Flowers stencil pack. You can use more than two colours if you wish but I would advise you to start with two and build it up from there.

I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.

This card out so well. I was really struggling initially and tried many different things, but nothing looked good. I then had a lightbulb moment and here we have it. What do you think?

The background designer series paper (DSP) is from “In Good Taste”. I think it makes the butterflies look like they are sunning themselves on a warm wall. The black really makes everything pop. The rhinestones on their bodies give the card that wonderful bling.

This is a super simple card to make. The background is stamped. I love stamping my own backgrounds as I can make them bespoke to me. I’ve used the Beauty Abounds set and these pretty bokeh style circles in Coastal Cabana. The deeper colour is Pretty Peacock and it goes so well with Coastal Cabana.

The butterflies from Butterfly Gala have a matching punch. I’ve picked up on the butterflies again with this cute little butterfly gems in Pretty Peacock. Easy Peasy!!

Just a Note – Butterly Gala – Stampin’ Up!

This is a simple card when you just what to send just a note to someone. I love how these bright butterflies look on the woodgrain background. I’ve stamped on coloured cardstock which is in itself unusual for me but I like the effect.

This card features two in-colours, Magenta Madness and Just Jade. I’ve used rhinestones to give the butterflies some sparkly bodies. I’ve done a previous card using these butterflies to make a rainbow effect. They stamp beautifully and of course, they have a coordinating punch.

  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) 14.35cm x 10cm
