Have a Delightful Day

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Hope you had a great weekend! I managed to set some crafting time in between all the kids' activities.

Today, I am working with the My Favorite Things'- Sweet Forest Friends. This is a fall stamp set, but I am pairing it up with a few different elements that help turn it into a winter set.

I am in love with the My Mind's Eye's Sugar Plum paper pad. The colors are so soft and pretty. Definitely, not your traditional colors! I loved the snowy print with deer in the background. I thought it would be perfect to create a scene card with it. I used a circle die to create the window on the front of the card. I designed the scene in layers. To create the layers, I used birch tree dies and a snowy hill die. The deer image is colored in with a few markers using the no-line technique. The deer is cut out with a coordinating die and attached to the card with a simple sentiment. To finish the card, I add a few enamel dots and a few white spots on the deer using a white gel pen.

The following markers are used to color in the deer: Chameleon - BR2 and NU3, along with the black detail pen.

Merry Christmas Tag

Hello, MarkerPop friends! It is Jessi here today. I am excited to share with you my latest project. I paired up a couple different stamp sets with a super adorable paper pad for today's project.

I decided to take a step away from cards and create a tag. I used the C.C. Designs Layering Tag dies and My Mind's Eye's Sugar Plum to form the tags.

I used one of the deer images from the Avery Elle's North Pole Pals stamp set and colored it in with Chameleon markers. The image is then cut out and attached to the front of the tag. A simple sentiment is formed from the Lawn Fawn's Frosty Fairy Friends stamp set and attached at the bottom of the tag. To finish the tag, a hole is punched at the top and twine is insert. The tag is now ready to be added to the perfect gift!

 

You can hop on over to the MarkerPop blog to learn more about the markers and supplies used on today's project.

Trio My Mind's Eye Holiday Cards

Hello, everyone! It is Jessi from Kissin' Krafts! I am excited to be back on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog, today!

First of all, let's talk about the current sale going on right now over in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink store...

You can check out the deals, HERE!

Now on to my project...

I don't know about you, but I love to send out Holiday cards to family and friends. However, with our hectic schedules, it makes it hard to find time to create all those cards.  So I am in love with using collections that include a variety of embellishments that match the paper. Today, I made these 3 cards in a matter of minutes.

These cards are made using the My Mind's Eye Christmas on Market Street collection. I used the 6x6 paper pad, flair buttons, and die cuts embellishments.

 

I love how the flair provides a pop of color on this festive white and gold card. The large snowflake and sentiment banner are part of the die cuts packet.

 

 

Whenever I see antlers during the holiday season, I think of Rudolph. So I added a red enamel dot for the nose with the antlers. A sentiment banner finishes off the card.

 

 

I decided to pair up this large piece from the die cuts bag with a few prints  from the My Mind's Eye Christmas on Market Street 6x6 paper pad. The rounded corners give the card a softer look.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Waffle Flower Crafts Challenge

Today I am playing along with the August/September Challenge over at Waffle Flower Crafts! If you have not seen their stamps, stop over and check out their fun designs!

The challenge consists of a sketch or technique or even both. To check out the challenge, click HERE.

Even though my card was inspired by both of the challenges, I decided to focus on the sketch:

 

Here is my take:

 

I used stamps (stars and 'HELLO') are from the Waffle Flower's Bowtiful Stamp set!

The fox and speech bubble stamps are from the Sweet Stamp Shop's Foxy stamp set.

Is it a Bag or Is It an Envelope?

Hello, Butterfly Reflection, Ink friends! What better way to start off the new week with a new BRI project!

 

I have always used treat bags for...well, treats! But the idea came  to me to turn it into an envelope for a card.

 

 

I love that the glitter stars add so much texture to a simple treat bag. A simple paper banner is added to the bag to act as a closure. A simple sentiment is stamped on the bottom of the banner.  To finish the envelope, I added a couple different embellishments (the heart and the enamel dots).

 

Supplies from the BRI shop:

Cosmo Cricket- Treat Bags

My Mind's Eye - Enamel Dots and Mildred Paper Pad

Waffle Flower Crafts - Bowtiful Stamp Set

'Hello' Fancy Pants...

Hello, Butterfly Reflection, Ink friends! Today is an awesome day! First of all, I have a fun project to share with you! But most of all...today is Release Day for the new Lawn Fawn products everyone is drooling over! And guess what? They are available NOW in the BRI store! Check out the amazing selection!

So on to my project...

Let me confess... I am falling in love with the premade embellishments for cards/layouts! I have been turning to them lately when I need to make a card in a flash! Have you seen those latest card challenges, 10 minutes or less? I would never had been able to complete this challenge if I had to create every piece by hand! But these premade pieces make it doable!

Here is the card I created with the premade embellishments matching the Fancy Pant's Burlap & Bouquets Collection:

To make the card stand out, I decided to create a shaped card versus a regular card. The front is covered with 2 different patterned paper. I love the simple 'HELLO' sentiment, but decided to add 'my friend' by stamping it below the embellishment. The feathers are a wonderful addition! I love how the large one hangs over the top of the card. The card needed a little more texture, so I added a couple enamel dots on the top corner of the card!

There are many things I love about Butterfly Reflections, Ink! One thing is that they carry a variety of products from a single paper collection. Making it so easy to shop in one location!

Check out the supplies I used available in the BRI store:

Fancy Pants - Burlap & Bouquets Paper Pad and Ephemera

My Mind's Eye at Butterfly Reflections, Ink!

Today I am excited to share my latest card created for my Butterfly Reflections, Ink design team assignment! I think it is easy to state that My Mind's Eye is my favorite paper company! It seems like I am always drawn to their collections! So I was super excited to come across the My Mind's Eye section in the Butterfly Reflections, Ink's store! You can check out the section  HERE.

The collection I used on the card below is My Mind's Eye's Now & Then "Mildred":

Now, as I stated last week, I am addicted to 6x6 paper pads! (Don't forget to check out the PAPER section in the store! There is an amazing selection available!) Any who... One of the reasons I like the paper pads is because it usually includes a pattern that can be fussy-cut. Such as the print pictured below. I decided to cut out a few of the flowers to use on this card. Not knowing exactly what I was going to do, I cut out a number of different flowers/leaves.

 I tried several different floral arrangements and once I decided on the final placement, I used a foam dot on one of the flowers to add dimension to the card.

 I usually an one to stamp a sentiment onto the card. However, I love the word/alpha stickers that were made for this collection. Instead of simply putting the sentiment sticker on the card, I decided to add a punch of additional color by placing a matching cardstock sticker from the same collection.

I would love to hear what your favorite My Mind's Eye collection is? I don't think I could narrow it down to one! And have you seen the newest released collections they have just released? Super pretty! And guess what? They are currently on their way to the Butterfly Reflections, Ink store! Keep on eye out on the 'Newest Product' section of the store!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
