simon says stamp: out of this world blog hop (day 1)

Hello there crafty friends! I am thrilled to be joining Simon Says Stamp today in a blog hop to celebrate their new Out of This World release. Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to EVERY stop on the hop from each comment section, so be sure to hop around, look at all the inspiration from this awesome new release and leave a comment for your chance to win!

Before I share my card with you today, I want to point out the special code (GALAXY) in the graphic above that will give you a FREE set of Tim Holtz Distress Crayons FREE with any purchase (while supplies last). Just follow the three steps above to add them to your cart - good until 6/25 at 11:59 pm EDT.

Today I have 2! fun cards made from one panel using the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die for two totally different looks. I added some Distress Inks to Distress Watercolor Cardstock by building layers, adding some Distress Ink layers and drying the panel each time and adding more layers. I added some Gilded Foundry Wax splatter and white splatter to the panel then cut it out to leave me with all of those beautiful butterflies and the outline part of the panel. I explain each one in a little more detail below. 

For my first card, I used the butterfiles cut out from the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer Die and adhered them to the card with foam squares. They have so much color, texture and splatter that they really stand out this way. To keep the card simple, I cut the CZ Design Love You die from Vellum and Matte Gold Cardstocks. This is a super simple and easy way to use up some of those inky experiment panels you may have lying around! 




For the second card, I used the outline of the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die that I cut from the same paper and backed it with some black cardstock to make it pop. It was missing something so I used a gold gel pen to outline the inside of the butterfly shapes, adding it on extra thick. To finish the card, I added the CZ Design Here for You die cut from black and matte gold cardstocks. 




I hope you enjoyed these cards! There is so much inspiration to be shared today and remember you have a chance to win a $25 coupon simply for leaving a comment -- so be sure to hop around. Thanks for stopping by today!

simon says stamp monday challenge: don't be fooled be foiled

 

Hi crafty friends, it's time for another challenge over one the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us in last week's Challenge and I hope you will join us again this week too! This week our challenge is Don't Be Fooled be Foiled and this week the team is using products from Gina K. I have never tried foiling until this week, and I was surprised at how easy it was. I created a few panels with Gina K Designs Foil Mates Ornamental Holiday Sheets to make that foiled striped piece in my card.
