Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a card featuring the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set along with the Bold Butterflies Dies(both are 30% off this weekend!), since they layer so nicely and then I brought in the Spring Frame Die since again, these products work so nicely together and it fit with the design of my card.
To start off I cut out the Spring Frame Die and Bold Butterflies Dies from vellum and set them off to the side for later. I then used my MISTI to stamp out my butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies. I used a smaller and larger one since they layer the best and then I coloured them in with Copic Markers. I used a colour combo from Pinterest which is two shades of Pink, a green and blue to help colour these in as well. Once they were coloured in, I cut them out using the coordinating dies.
Now that all my elements were ready to go, I added adhesive to the middle of the butterflies and adhered them on top of the vellum ones. For my background I water-coloured some stripes in coordinating colours and dried them off with a heat tool.
To finish up, I used the Stitched Notes Die Set and cut the frame from a piece of blue cardstock. I used the outer frame and added adhesive onto the back and adhered it to the vellum Spring Frame. I then added foam tape onto the back and adhered it over my water-coloured panel. I cut apart the ‘Flying By To Say Hello’ sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies and stamped that onto the background using my MISTI and black ink.
I started off with stamping out my eggs onto a white piece of cardstock with black ink. I used four different styles of eggs and arranged them in my Mini MISTI stamping tool. I left a gap between the top and bottom rows for a sentiment, too. Once they were stamped, I cut apart the sentiment ‘Happy Easter’ and stamped them next to each other using my MISTI once again to stamp them between the eggs. Next, I used the Bunny Friends stamp set, stamped out a few of the images with my MISTI as well. I then coloured in everything with Copic Markers.
Now to create the ‘peek-a-boo’ element. I took the coordinating die and placed it over top of the egg, just like I normally would. I then placed the piece of cardstock into my die cut machine and covered ¾ of the bottom of the egg, leaving the top bit without a plate covering. I then ran through the piece and removed the die. This allows the egg to be folded upwards and to reveal the inside. I repeated this for the rest of my eggs and set off the piece to the side. I then cut my bunnies out with their dies as well.
I then took a white card base and covered it with a piece of blue patterned paper. I placed my peek a boo panel over top and traced around the inside of the eggs on my card base with a pencil. I adhered my bunnies and flowers on the insides of each of the eggs with foam tape and then erased the pencil lines. I added a double layer of foam to the back of my peek a boo panel and adhered it over the same spot.
That finished up my Easter card for today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. See you all next time!
I started by creating my background, using my Mini MISTI and the Spring Wreath set. I stamped the wreath off the edges of my square panel, and then turned the panel before stamping again. Then I filled in any empty spaces with some of the single flowers in the set. This is a quick and easy way to create an all-over flower background. I trimmed the panel using a circle die and also stamped and die cut one of the butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies.
I coloured the butterfly with a rainbow of Copic markers and then started working on the background. Using another circle die, I lightly drew ‘trail’ lines from the butterfly, creating an area for some colouring. I coloured it in with the same Copic markers to create unity between the butterfly and the background.
I found that the contrast between the black ink and white cardstock on the rest of the circle panel was a bit distracting, so I coloured that area with a gray marker to tone it down and allow the focus to be on the colourful, magical butterfly trail!
I glued the body of the butterfly directly to the circle panel, and popped up the edge of the wings with some foam tape for dimension.

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a video sharing how to make the peacocks feathers from the Peacock Friends into a mini shaker. This is quite a long process, but the end look is super fun!
To begin, I stamped out my images from Peacock Friends and coloured them all in with Copic Markers. I then die cut them all out using the coordinating dies.
Once they’re all die cut out, I took the peacock image and used an exacto knife plus some detail cutting scissors to cut around each of the feathers. I made sure to leave the white border intact as well. Once I’ve cut around all the feathers, I made sure to keep the detail areas in case I needed them later.
Next, I took my Mini MISTI stamping tool, Staz On Ink and some acetate and stamped another of the same peacock image on it. I didn’t die cut this out, I left it on a larger piece of acetate until I needed to cut it down later. I added adhesive to the coloured peacock and adhered it over the acetate stamped one.
I then took another piece of white cardstock and cut the coordinating peacock die in the middle. I then added adhesive to the backs of the single feathers and adhered them at the top left and bottom right of my panel. I also stamped the ‘You Are Special’ sentiment onto the bottom of the card with black ink as well. I flipped over the panel, added adhesive around the die cut peacock and adhered the acetate piece into place. I cut off the excess and added foam tape all along the back.
I then pulled out some Navy Cardstock and cut it down to a card base. I then pulled some Mermaid Mix and Spring Meadow Mix Sequins since they matched the colours I used well and added them into the centre of the card base, took of the backers from the foam tape and adhered the panel into place.
That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time
I used the Darling Dragonflies set. I love how cute these guys are with their happy smiley faces. I wanted a more elegant look, though, so after I stamped them, I filled in their heads and bodies using a Versamark marker before heat embossing them with a sparkly embossing glitter.
I added some ‘iridescent’ colour to the dragonflies’ wings with pale pink and blue Copic markers, flicked in each wing, close to the body. I created a lovely spring background with some simple ink blending – blue for the sky and spring green for the ground. And then I added some ‘grass’ by using the leaves from Crocus Flowers, pale grey ink and a green Copic marker.
I trimmed the panel with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes and then I stamped the sentiment from Simple Sayings: Courage, using a grey ink, rather than black. I felt that black would be too harsh against my soft spring scene. I popped the panel up on a plain white card base.

Hello, Gemma here today to share two cards featuring the new Bold Butterflies die set. I love the detail of these pretty butterflies and they are perfect for creating die cut inlay cards.
I began by creating my rainbow panel. I cut a piece of white card, approx. 3 x 3 1/8 inches. I took some scraps of paper in rainbow colours, cutting thin strips and adhering them with liquid glue to the panel until it was covered.
From this panel, I die cut the smaller of the Bold Butterflies dies, making sure to keep all the pieces. I also die cut the butterfly from plain white card. I adhered the rainbow panel onto my card base, then added the white die cut butterfly within the panel. In the spaces in the butterfly, I adhered the rainbow die cut pieces, filling it in like a puzzle.
The lovely thing about die cut inlay is you can make another card with the extra piece, in this case the rainbow butterfly I die cut from the panel.
For my second inlay card, I followed the same steps but added score lines to my white card panel instead, to match the rainbow stripes on the butterfly. To finish both cards, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

Hello! Rina here with you today. I loved working with the Piñata Party set and knew instantly that I wanted to pair it with the Celebrate Shaker Die. I am doing a rainbow theme and the Party Mix Jewels were perfect for this design.
I made a simple striped watercolor background using Dr. Ph Martins Hydrus watercolor, but any watercolor would do. I made a skinny striped background along with a wider striped background in rainbow color order.
While my backgrounds dried, I colored the images using Copic markers.
To make the shaker I cut my panels to standard card size and used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out the shape in the middle of the panel. I used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out glitter paper. I used the die cuts from the glitter paper to inset into the panel and adhered with tape. I adhered acetate to the back of the panel and created the shaker well using 2 layers of double sided foam tape. I added the shaker bits into the well and used a ton of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and confetti. Here is what I used for the shaker bits:
I adhered a backer sheet to cover the sequins. I stamped a sentiment to the front of the card and then placed the images. Finally I adhered the card front to a top folding card base.
I first started with a standard size landscape card base and placed it inside my Mini MISTI stamping tool. I placed three images down and stamped them in black ink. I then lined up the coordinating dies over the top of my images and adhered them down using washi tape. Since I want these images to pop-up, I lined the card in my big shot machine and then for the top plate, I only placed it over the top half of the coordinating dies, so then it would only cut on one half. I then ran it through my big shot machine.
Now that only the top half of my images die cut, I took out a scoring tool, lined it up where the die cuts ended and scored in between each of the images. I folded along the scored lines and this then created my easel card. Now because everything worked correctly, I coloured my images in with Copic Markers.
Now all my images were coloured, I stamped out some more of the same images on some masking paper and cut them out. I placed them over the top of the coloured images and used a grassy hill stencil to ink blend some Twisted Citron Distress Ink over the top. I then used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky as well, making sure to use tape to cover the inside of the card, so it doesn’t get colour inside.
For the inside of the card for the easel portion, so it holds in place I added a piece of teal patterned paper at the bottom along with two extra cupcakes for height. I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment along the bottom of the front panel of my card. I did cut it in half to fit across. It’s super simple to do with sharp small scissors.
So that finishes off my card for today, I hope you all enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time.
Hi Everyone! Rina here with a fun rose gold double shaker card! I just adore rose gold and thought it would be the perfect color to use for an encouragement card. I used the Simple Sayings: Courage Stamp set using the sentiment “Have Courage I believe in you” paired with the Scallop Hearts Dies. The Scallop Hearts Dies are not only perfect for Valentine’s Day, but also to show a friend your support! I also used the Friends Forever Stamp set for the girl image and balloon.
I cut out Scallop Hearts Dies onto the blended background and also cut out the dies using a Rose Gold Metallic paper to create a fun contrast. I applied the acetate to the back of the blended background and then applied the rose gold heart cutouts to the front. I used double sided foam tape behind the acetate to create the shaker wells. I filled the shaker with my favorite 4mm Metallic Rose Gold Sequinsand 6mm Metallic Rose Gold Sequins, and Sparkling Clear Stars Sequins, then applied the shaker back. Finally, I applied the shaker to a side folding card base. I hope you give this a try, the shaker dies make it so easy to make!
From this panel, I die cut the smaller of the
