Butterfly Reflections Ink and MFT Sweet Summertime

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with Butterfly Reflections Ink, sharing a card that I've made showing off some new product by MFT.  I've always been a big fan of the Pure Innocence line and I have to say my jaw hit the floor when I saw this brand new Sweet Summertime stamp and die set! And of course I had to have this beautiful and FUN die set, Watermelon Slice!  Also check out this coordinating stamp set, Sweet Sentiments AND matching die, Sweet Die-Namics.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Sweet Sentiments set in white on black and die cut using these awesome new Skinny Strips Dies.

So I cut a background piece of paper (Birthday Blowout 6x6 pad MFT) A2 sized and glued to my card base.  Then i layered with a stitched rectangle in white and I also added some inking behind my scene using Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink. I used this Glitzy Cardstock to cut my watermelon rind out and I love the look!  I also added some Glossy Accents on the seeds and they look so real!  Lastly I added a few enamel dots to complete my card!

Thank you so much for joining me here today, I hope you'll pop over to the Butterfly Reflections Ink Shop and check out all these fun new products!

Hero Arts Wonder and Magic of Christmas

Hi everyone, I'm here with you today. sharing a card I made with the new Hero Arts stamp/die set, Wonder and Magic of Christmas.

I started with a Navy cardstock base and added a kraft panel cut a little smaller.  I die cut the center of the kraft layer using the largest die in the MFT Dienamics Stitched Dome Stax. I also used that same die to cut a piece of white cardstock to inlay it.

Then I used the MFT Drifts and Hills stencil  and inked in a few snow hills. So, for my tree I used a light/medium/dark shade of blue ink to create an ombre effect. Then I stamped the deer and star using VersaMark embossing ink and Hero Arts Gold embossing powder. I die cut them using the coordinating dies. I cut a banner and white heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the same stamp set.  Lastly I added some Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes Crystals for some decoration.

Thanks for joining me today, head over to the BRI shop and grab some of these goodies for your holiday cards!
