Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds

Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds stamp set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

An Explosion of Colour – Pigment Sprinkles

I have an art journal page to share with you today and it is an explosion of colour. It uses the pigment sprinkles that have been sitting in my stash for months. I love how it came out and wanted to share it with you.

Art journaling makes me happy and I think at times such these we have to especially try to do things that make us happy. The Pigment Sprinkles were launched in the catalogue last June but due to customs issues, we didn’t get them until October. I couldn’t wait to buy them and then, of course, they just sat in my stash. Oh my gosh, I love them. I used them to create both the orange background as well as the blue/purple one.

Art journaling is a great way to let your imagination run free. You can explore colours, themes, techniques and just be free!! I’ve used a number of techniques here. There is stamping, stencilling, heat embossing, fussy cutting and of course the pigment sprinkles.

I normally write my blogs a few weeks ahead of schedule. I am writing this on 25th March, so the second day of the increased restrictions. Life as we used to know it has all but disappeared. The weather when we could go out was grey and wet now, of course, we have glorious sunshine. Typical!! We are lucky to have a big garden by city standards so can still enjoy the outdoors easily. I hope you are keeping safe and well and that my projects and videos are helping to relieve the boredom of days inside.

Rainbow of Butterflies Thank you Card

I have this rainbow of butterflies card to share with you today. The stamp set is Butterfly Gala and of course, it has a matching Butterfly Duet punch. These butterflies are a great way to use up your scraps.

The Butterfly Gala stamp set has four matching sets of butterflies making this an incredibly useful set. I have stamped them in black Memento ink on the following cardstock colours: Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape.

The rainbow effect is bold and beautiful and the card needs nothing more than a sentiment to complete it.

Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

In the summer I see so many butterflies in the garden flittering around from flower to flower. They are so gorgeous and intricate in their patterns and colours. A marvel of nature.

I love using punches as they make cardmaking so simple and easy. You don’t need loads of different tools. Punches are also easy to use for children and a card like this is perfect for a child to make.

I have a video tutorial and supply list below.
