Using Stampin' Up's Butterfly Basics To Decorate A Notebook

Hello there,
I have a super cute pair of notebooks to share with you today using the ever versatile Butterfly Basics stamps and dies. I purchased the notebooks in this Kraft colour and we decorated them at Jenny's pre-wedding party.
I made two designs before hand and let the ladies choose how to decorate their own...

This black and Kraft version was the most popular. I used versamark to stamp the leaves for a subtle look and plenty of Wink of Stella on the butterfly too.

 I also made this softer style with doilies and ribbon roses (retired).

 Which is your favourite?

Back tomorrow with a Halloween Treat on the Jems blog hop.
Hope you can stop by for lots of inspiration, the theme is Autumn/Winter catalogue!

A Butterfly Basics by Stampin' Up! Weekend: Day Two

Hello,

And welcome to day two of my mini series for this weekend using Butterfly Basics :-)

To see the other post in this series please CLICK HERE.

So, if you read yesterday's post you'll have seen that I made the card there first but I decided that, as much as I liked it, I felt it was a bit better suited to the autumn or winter (because of the colours) and so I wanted to lighten and "summer" the card up.
Shall we take a look at the new card I made? ...

I used a So Saffron, Smoky Slate and white colour combo for this version and changed out the hardwood background stamp for the new Brick embossing folder.
I also changed out the fern (which I stamped in old olive yesterday) for wild wasabi today.

The so saffron butterfly was stamped onto white card before being die cut out.

I *heart* thick twine and now we sell it in smoky slate!!

So, the same card, but different! 

A few simple changes give a totally different look don't you think?

Next time you're stuck for new ideas why not try looking back at some of the cards you've already made and change them up for a totally different look?

Well, I hope you've enjoyed my posts this weekend?

Thanks as ever for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,

A Butterfly Basics by Stampin' Up! Weekend: Day One

Hello,

I've had a lovely day today in the first day of my Watercolour Wishes Kit Class. It really is the loveliest kit I have seen!! The directions are fab and very detailed and you can easily make gorgeous cards with very little effort but of course I decided to make mine, well, all but one card, differently from the directions and it was a blast! it really is a kit for everyone at any level. I'll take some photos of my makes in the week and share my ideas with you too. 

But on to today's card. I was designing cards for my last class and I came up with this card that I'm sharing today first. But then I thought it was a bit "wintery" looking so decided to lighten it up for the time of the year. So I'll share my second version (the one we made at the class) with you tomorrow and make these two cards, using Butterfly Basics, a mini theme for this weekend :-)

So, let's see this first card. If you have been here before you'll recognise that this card  is based on some of my previous makes (you can see them here, clicking "older posts" to see more). This one uses a crumb cake base with the Hardwood background stamp and teamed with Blackberry Bliss and the Butterfly Basics stamp set...

 I added flowers using the Petit Petals punch and the flower from the Itty Bitty Accents punch set.

You can see how I cup the flowers for dimension in THIS VIDEO if you want :-)

 This butterfly was also stamped onto crumb cake card before being die cut.

 and al finished off with some silver sequins from the sequin trim

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my original design for class and please do come back tomorrow and see my second version and the card we made at this class!

Thanks for stopping by today
