Catching Butterflies Gift

I had a request recently for three sets of notecards as gifts, after my customer had seen a larger, similar greeting card on Instagram. You can see the original here.

Notecards are a little smaller, perfect for slipping into a gift bag, but also can be mailed too. 

The stamping is on a Stitched Rectangle panel, one which fits inside the Stitched So Sweetly scalloped rectangle after the colours are blended with a blending brush.

 Notecards fit the mini Paper Pumpkin boxes, I just had to work out a way to cut a window in it so the cards could be viewed easily.

It gives me a lot of satisfaction meeting my clients expectations, and I think I succeeded, judging by the smile and many thanks! 

Catching Butterflies is a FREE SALE-A-Bration stamp set, which can be added to your $90 order until March 31.(Extended in Australia & New Zealand after shipping delays earlier in the year).

Catching Butterflies

Catching Butterflies is a cute little stamp set, and I wanted to explore ways to colour it on today's Facebook live. I try to share some crafting every Tuesday at 11.30 am AEST.

For card one I used Stampin' Blends (alcohol-based pens) and blending brushes to apply colour.

This created a vibrant, rainbow image which was trimmed to fit inside the largest of the Scalloped Contours dies. The sentiment was die cut with a small Layering Circle die after heat embossing in white on black.

Card two was coloured with Watercolor Pencils, blended with a Blender Pen. For the coloured border, a stamp block was placed on the ink pad and applied to the paper.
