MONOCHROMATIC BUTTERFLIES

January 10, 2019

Hi and welcome to Cynthia’s Creative Corner! Today’s card is a study in Monochromatic using the beautiful Highland Heather colour from Stampin’ Up!

Of course, I started with a card base of Highland Heather cardstock! Then I added that beautiful piece of Botanical Butterfly designer paper that is Free(with qualifying purchase) from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

The butterflies themselves were stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock with Jet Black Stazon in and then overstamped with Highland Heather ink. I used an Aqua Painter to lighten the colour on the wings to give it a little contrast. This is just one of the cards we will be creating in the Butterfly Gala card class on Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Have you signed up yet? Visit my Class Calendar to save your seat.

There’s no stamping involved in today’s card – just some fun techniques!

I haven’t used the Embossing paste in quite a while and thought that this brick pattern would work perfectly with that bundle of branches. Adding the ornament from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits dies finished it off nicely. I also like the muted silver tone of the Galvanized Metallic Paper!

THE HAPPY STAG

Happy Monday to you! Today’s post features the happy stag from the Dashing Deer Bundle(yes I know, again) which is another of the cards we will be making in this Tuesday’s card class.

The Under the Mistletoe designer series paper has 2 pages full of deer images so I thought that they’d be a great background for this beautiful stag! Cutting him out was easy with the matching Detailed Deer Thinlits dies. You save 10% when you purchase the bundle!

SIMPLE SNOWFLAKES

Comments

Today’s card highlights some simple snowflakes made with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies. Snowflakes you say? Well, they are coming, it’s just a matter of when. Up here in northeastern BC we can expect our fall of snowflakes a little earlier than some, sigh!

So that is what prompted me to create this card and, since it’s Tuesday and we’re creating Christmas cards in class tonight, it just seemed right to show off this pretty card.

The Merry Little Labels Bundle makes it easy to create a simple card and adding those pretty silver and glimmery snowflakes topped it off nicely! I attached them using our Multipurpose Liquid Glue which dries clear and is strong so you don’t have to worry about these little pretties falling off.

Here’s the full list of products that I used.

Merry Little Labels Clear-Mount Bundle [146030] $44.50	Merry Little Labels Wood-Mount Bundle [146029] $54.25	Soft Suede 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [115318] $10.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $11.25

ADD A LITTLE MUSIC TO YOUR DAY

Do you like to listen to music when you’re stamping? I do and, it may sound early, but a little Christmas music while stamping doesn’t hurt either. That’s what I was doing while creating this card.

I used the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies to create that lovely frame on the card front and then backed it with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. The Carols of Christmas stamp set added the happy greeting decorated with those tiny poinsettias. The musical background piece is from the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series paper and it was cut to fit inside that pretty frame. This is one of the cards we will be making at next Tuesday’s card class – want to join in? Just Click on the Sign Up button and I’ll make a space for you.

I have lots of classes scheduled so make sure that you check them all out and let me know that you want to join in on the stamping fun.

Autumn is on my mind and it’s also a great time to gather together to do some stamping.

This card was created using the new Painted Harvest Bundle and the beautiful matching Painted Autumn designer series paper. Which is why I decided to let the paper do most of the talking on this card. The Leaf Punch is part of the bundle and is perfect for adding that touch of autumn leaves! This card is just one of the 4 we will be creating at the September 5th Class.

It really is time to gather together to do some stamping and I encourage you to sign up for this fun class. Here’s the link for easy sign up and you may want to check out the other classes I have scheduled as well.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
