Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance – Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop

22 July 2021
14 Comments

22 Jul

Hello, Crafty Friends,

Good Morning!   My today’s card is for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop. Each month we will have a different theme. 

July Theme: Make It Sparkle

When I realised I need to create something sparkle, I decided to go with the golden butterflies.

Bundle: Butterfly Brilliance and Beauty of Friendship for the sentiment. 

For the Sparkle, I added our New Gold Shimmer Vellum from the New Mini -Catalogue 2021

All the Stampin’ Up! products that I used here are available at my Online Shop. Check out my blog post at the end. 

Measurements:
  • Base Card: 10.5 cm by 27.9 cm scored@ 14.9cm 
  • Layer 1: Crumb Cake: 10.2cm by 14.7cm- 2 pieces ( 1 for inside )
  • Layer 2: Basic Black:10 cm by 14.5 cm ( embossed using Tasteful Textile embossing folder )
  • Very Vanilla: 9.7 cm by 14.1 cm
  • Die-cut all the pieces using shimmery gold vellum and metallic Rose and Gold sheets.
  • Sponged the embossed cardstock using Tuxedo black ink.
  • Stamped the image from the gorgeous leaves stamp set as a background on basic black cardstock using Versamark Ink and add gold embossing powder, then heat tool to melt the powder. 
  • Adhere the Shimmery vellum and the die-cut pieces together using stampin’ dimensional to the front of the card. 
  • Stamped the sentiment in Very Vanilla cardstock and used a heat tool to melt the gold embossing powder. 
  • Decorated inside using the die-cut butterfly. 
Hope you all like my today’s card. Check out other Design Team Member’s projects for more inspiration. Let me know what do you think of my project in the comment section.

Hello Crafty Friends, Today's hop is for the Hop Hello Crafty Friends,

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad April 2026 Instagram Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s hop we are chasing the catalogue.
For this project, I chose to feature an image from page 41 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue 2025–2026. As this catalogue will soon be retiring, it felt like the perfect time to revisit some of its beautiful inspiration and give it one more moment to shine.

Make it Masculine Today’s post is by the Piccadil Make it Masculine 
Today’s post is by the Piccadilli Players about masculine cards, and I wanted to create something a little different Masculine card with a vintage feel.

For this card, I used the Gears and Texture Bundle, which is a fantastic set for masculine projects. To create the background, I started with watercolor paper and blended Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie for a rich, aged look.

I love how the colours and texture came together to create a masculine card with a unique vintage style.
We have more inspiration using Masculine cards today. Let's see what Su @aromasandart created.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!
