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.

Watercolouring – Peaceful Place Stamp set

I love watercolouring. I was painting before I ever started papercrafting and cardmaking. The flow of colours and the way they mix continue to fascinate me. Colouring in has also always been a very soothing and therapeutic way to spend a couple of hours.

This stamp set has been in my stash for over a year and I haven’t used it until now. I am glad I am using it now as I love it. The image is one whole stamp and that makes scene building a breeze. I’ve stamped the image in Stazon ink and then used both sets of watercolour pencils to “paint” the colour.

Night of Navy A6 cardbase (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.)

I have not given measurements for the Shimmery White, Pacific Point or Balmy Blue as I cut these as I go depending on how I stamp, paint and cut the stamped image.

This scene is perfection to me. I could quite happily spend a few hours on the banks of that stream with a book and not a care in the world. The natural world is a love of mine and I enjoy spending time in it whenever I can.

Punched Circles – Birthday Card

This is a simple and easy card made using punched circles in varying sizes. This is a great way to use up all your scrap pieces of cardstock and make something beautiful as well.

I love this card as it uses minimal supplies but gives a great wow effect. As it makes use of punched circles, it is a perfect card to make with young children.

The theme of this card is circles. You can make a huge variety of matching stationery such as invitations, envelopes and goody bags. I truly believe that we need to get kids involved when they are young in various crafts so that these skills and hobbies aren’t lost. I know I would much prefer a child playing with ink and paper than stuck in front of a tv.

I think this type of card would also work with different coloured punched butterflies. I am going to try it and if it works I will share it with you.

Primary colours make this card sing. Primary colours are red, blue and yellow and the contrast and complement each other perfectly. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. The colour wheel does help to match colours together.

I love to use coloured card bases with a white mat that gives a little border around the card. Do you use coloured card bases or do you prefer white? I like to frame my images on my card as I feel it just makes the whole project look more complete.
