Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My 2nd post today. If you missed the first one just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)

My second project today is this Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card. I made this card for my mom who's birthday was a week ago. :o)

♥ I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST MOM!!! ♥

To make this card I CASEd a card I made for my mom's birthday last year (here). I went with same design and used same products, just went with different color scheme and only one butterfly on this card.

I used a GORGEOUS Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp and Sizzix butterfly thinlits die.


How I made this card...

I heat embossed the Mandala in white on a watercolor paper. I colored the Mandala in watercolor technique using two Distress Inks, Spun Sugar and Festive Berries, and a lot of water. When I was satisfied with color, I dried the paper and cut the Mandala into a circle shape.

I cut another same size circle from a white cardstock paper and two larger circles. I glued two larger circles together on top and created a circle shaped card base.

Then I die cut the butterfly in the watercolored circle panel and four butterflies from the white cardstock paper.

With all pieces ready, I started assembling my card. First I glued the watercolored panel on the same size white cardstock circle. Then I glued butterflies. I combined die cut inlay and die cut stacking techniques. When I glued all pieces together, I glued the panel on the card base and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: d = 105 mm (4 1/8")

List of supplies:

• Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp
• Sizzix butterfly thinlits die 
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Spun Sugar
• Festive Berries
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)

• Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
• Xcut self healing cutting mat A4
• EK Success Circle Cutters
• Crystal Katana

Rainbow Butterfly Shaker Card (IC #14)

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Rainbow Butterfly Shaker Card. :o)

I made this Interactive (IC) WINDOW SHAKER CARD for my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2019 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

I've made window shaker cards in the past and I find them really easy and fun to make. :o)

This is a fourteenth type of IC I made for my challenge. I made 15 different types of interactive cards during Pisces period, which was my personal challenge. I completed my challenge, achieved my goals and had a lot of fun. I wrote a short review about the challenge here.

To make this card I CASEd (copy and share everything) my own card I created last year (here). I went with same design, layout, birthday theme, used same products and colors, there is only one difference, CASEd card is CAS, while today's card is interactive CAS card. :o)

How I made my card...

I die cut beautiful butterfly in a white cardstock paper panel, left an outline and threw away tiny little pieces. I glued an acetate sheet on the back of the panel to close the window. I stamped a sentiment on the panel and glued 3-D foam squares on the panel, making sure gluing them close together around the butterfly shape.

Then I blended Distress Inks on a white cardstock paper piece, following a rainbow pattern. I filled the shaker window with transparent beads and glued the colored piece over it to close the window.

I glued the panel on a white top folded card base and glued another white panel inside the card to make the card sturdier.

Lastly, I glued the die-cut butterfly on the shaker window and my card was finished. :o)

Then I stamped a sentiment on a white cardsock paper panel, glued 3-D foam scraps on the back of the panel and glued it on a white top folded card base.

Lastly, I glued the Stacked Blue Ombré Butterfly on the card and my card was finished. Love this technique!! :o)

Blue Butterflies Birthday Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Blue Butterflies Birthday Card. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Doodle Butterflies' stamp set.

How I made this card...

I stamped butterflies on a watercolor paper and loosely watercolored them with Distress Inks. After drying I fussy cut butterflies and traced edges with black marker. 

Then I stamped two same butterflies on a white cardstock paper and colored them with grey marker. I fussy cut both butterflies, this time leaving thin white border around them. I glued watercolored butterflies over grey ones. I did this because the watercolor paper I used is thin and I needed thicker images. I could use a thicker watercolor paper, but I find it more difficult to fussy cut. Also, the thicker watercolor paper is way more expensive than the thinner one, so I don't like to waste any and prefer to use it for different types of cards and not for small images. I do love fussy cutting, so this is not a problem for me at all. :o)

Next up was card assembling. I stamped a sentiment with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended a white cardstock paper stripe with the same color. After drying, I glued the stripe and the panel on a white top folded card base.

Lastly, I glued some 3-D foam squares on butterflies, glued them on card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Doodle Butterflies' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Salty Ocean
• Peacock Feathers
• Stabilo Fiber Tip Pen (Marker), Black 68/46

• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• Marabu rounded fine paint brush no. #0
• Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool
