Hello – welcome – and I am so delighted that you have popped by.
My post today is for a unique blog hop that features the Butterfly Bouquet and the Butterfly Brilliance Collection.
Thank you for joining us for our special Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.
I have thoroughly enjoyed making many projects using this beautiful collection. For this blog hop, I have made a new slimline card.
I started by choosing three of the colours that have been used in the Butterfly Bijou 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper – Calypso Coral, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. I also used the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. I stamped the collection of butterflies image onto pieces of the card stock and die cut them using the Brilliant Wings Dies – I now heaps of butterflies ready for other projects. Then I die cut three of the largest detailed butterflies in vellum. These vellum butterflies were then painted with Wink of Stella for some added glimmer.
The ‘thank you’ greeting is from the Best Year Stamp Set. I used my Stamparatus to stamp it. This gave me the opportunity to mask the lower half of the sentiment (‘for all that you are’) using tape. I inked up the greeting using Jet Black Staz On ink and stamped the vellum. Because I was using my Stamparatus, I was able to repeat the stamping until I was happy with the application of colour.
I thought about adding some embellishments to the card front but decided not to. Sometimes it is better to be a little understated. This is an elegant thank you card. What do you think? Who would give it to?
There will lots of other Butterfly Brilliance inspired thank you cards, made by demonstrators from around the world. Check them out and get some great ideas for your own cards. I hope you enjoy hopping.
Happy stamping.
