I KNEAD YOU by MY FAVORITE THINGS

Hello everybody, Nicky here with you today to share a card made with products from My Favorite Things with a Valentine's Day theme.

I have used the super adorable I Knead You stamp set. I selected this snoozing cat. I stamped, die cut and watercolor painted the cat and the little perch it is on. I then took the card panel and die cut it using the Stitched Triple Peek-a-boo Die I love this die and I have so many plans for it in the future, I think it is a really good one to add to your die stash! I saw the circles it creates and decided they could be dream bubbles. My cat is dreaming of fish, mice and balls of yarn - all the things that she loves. I repeat stamped and delicately watercolor painted all of these onto the 3 die cut circles.

I popped the stitched panel up with dimensional foam tape and recessed the dream bubbles and then applied my cat on her perch also with the foam tape. The little bubbles drifting up from her were hand drawn and then I stamped and applied the sentiment. The final touches were some sequin accents and then I highlighted a couple of areas on the cat using the Uni-Ball Signo White Pen.

There you have it, a very sweet slightly non-traditional Valentine's Day card. I hope you are feeling inspired to create your own and remember to swing by Butterfly Reflections Ink to find all your card and scrapbooking needs from the ever growing selection of lovely supplies. Please come and follow me on Instagram #nickynoocards and Pinterest and my Facebook Page for all of my projects past, present and future.

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool for the first time and loved it! I cut my own Tim Holtz watercolor paper to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer. I stamped my sentiments that are by Lawn Fawn Hello Baby with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks . I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello! Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog . It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink! Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards. What do I mean, you wonder? Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color. For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks. You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color. I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products . First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set . I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored. I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush . I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
