Good morning! Heather here to share a tutorial for a couple one layer cards I put together by combining different ink colors with the lovely Blissful Butterflies stamp set!

This is one of my go to stamp sets – the butterflies are just beautiful, and there is so much you can do with this stamp set! I first used a strip of Post-it tape to mask off a strip of the card front to place my sentiment – this way I could stamp freely and still have a focal point to place my sentiment.

I chose two color combos for my cards – both inspired from Pinterest. I used THIS inspiration for my first color combo that is more bright tones, and THIS color combo for the second one in slightly more muted colors.

I stamped the butterflies in a random pattern with my selected ink colors, then peeled off the masking tape, and added a sentiment from the newly released Everyday Greetings  – seriously this set has the perfect sentiment for any card, and I love the font!

I finished off by adding some sparkly Stickles to accent the butterflies, and glued a few sizes of Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix next to the sentiment on each side.

I don’t think you can have too many thank you cards – and these came together so quickly and would be super easy to recreate in any color combination you could imagine. Monochromatic would even be fun!

And the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix and Stickles add just the right amount of sparkle, while still leaving these cards nice and flat and perfect for mailing as well!

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning – to share a bright and colorful card that is also a full panel shaker card! I also had fun combining some newly released goodies with some older stamps and dies – one of my favorite things about Pretty Pink Posh is how well everything coordinates and works together!

 

I started off by stamping, coloring, and die cutting my images. I used the newly released Friends Forever Stamps and coordinating Friends Forever Dies for the girl, and previously released Rainy Days Stamps and Rainy Days Dies for the umbrella – don’t you love how perfectly sized they are to work together? I used the outer portion of Decorative Tag 1 Dies to rest my images on, and to stamp my sentiment, also from Friends Forever.

I also added some accents with a white gel pen – and a BUNCH of Glossy Accents to the umbrella! LOVE the sparkle and shine that adds! Harder to see in the photos, but I added Glossy Accents to her jacket (to make it look a bit like a rain jacket?) and her shoes.

I added a frame using Scallop Frames to create my shaker portion, backing it with acetate, and adding foam tape around the edges. I then mounted the decorated frame directly on the front of the acetate, and added some foam behind the frame. I did this for two reasons – to add stability to the entire card with such a large shaker portion, and so that I didn’t waste my shaker filling where it wouldn’t be seen anyway. This way it can shaker around the entire panel and I didn’t have to fill it up as much as I otherwise might have had to.

I filled the shaker with 1/4″ Iridescent Star Confetti – SO nice and sparkly, and the perfect accent to all the bright colors from my rainbow plaid paper – it’s new from Lawn Fawn and I just ADORE it! Plaid makes me so happy anyway, but add a happy rainbow, and how can you go wrong?!?!?

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!

This card required three layers, so I trimmed three white cardstocks and one acetate to 4.5 X 5.5. Then, I used the Stitched Notes Dies to die-cut the white cardstocks (see picture below).

Next, using the Misti tool, I took turns stamping the images on one of the die-cut papers (using versafine black ink) and on acetate (using stazon black ink).

Once I was done stamping, I covered up the images using a Molotow masking pen in preparation for distressing the background.

I used wavy Scallop Borders to die cut stamping mask paper to create the ground for the images and to separate the colors. I distressed the stamped card stock using Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Ozide inks using the blending tool.

Once I removed the masking fluid with a rubber cement eraser, I colored the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush 60 Pack.

Remember, I mentioned this card has three layers (plus a card base). The bottom layer consists of the colored cardstock with a white border (at this point I adhered the bottom layer to the card base). The second layer has a white border that was trimmed to a sideways U shape and adhered to the top of the bottom layer (this is the channel for the slider). For the sliding cardstock, I took the die-cut paper and glued on the largest tab from the Stitched Notes Dies. The white cardstock hides the colored image behind it. When you pull the tab, the cardstock slides away and the colored image is revealed. For the front layer, I adhered the stamped acetate behind the colored border and taped that to the top of the second layer. Voilà! Now we have a fun magic slider card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and our Easter Theme Week. Thank you for stopping by!
