Fence With Flowers.....Joy Fold Card

Happy Tuesday! 

Back on the Great Impressions Blog!

My card for today uses the fabulous GI Stamps;  G527 Fence With Flowers and C270 Butterfly Trio.

 

I initially wanted to make this card a 'gate fold' and use the fence as the gate portion, but when I saw a 'joy fold' card I knew this would work just as well.  The base of the card measures 4.5" x 7" and is scored at the 5" mark.  The insert measures 3.5" x 7" and is scored at the 3.5" mark.  The butterfly in the top right is mounted on Classic and Scallop Circle dies, then pop dots were added to the top portion, this lets the corner of the focal image tuck right under and keep closed.

Images colored with Copic Markers.  Hi-lights were given to the flower centers and butterflies using Sakura Glitter and Glaze Pens.

 

Border Punch and Corner Tabs used for accents.  The Butterfly Trio were masked and stamped separately, all 3 were used.

 

What I love about this Fence With Flowers image is that you can control the season by adjusting your colors.  Summer brights, the warm colors of Fall, add some snow for a winter scene.  It's all possible!

Note Cards

Happy Tuesday!  Back on the Great Impressions Blog!

A couple of little note cards and matching envelopes.



These were created using several Great Impressions stamps, C270 Butterfly Trio, D508 Fun Flower Border and E791 Sweet Sentiments. 

 

I randomly stamped the flower border image all over on a larger piece of card stock and colored with Copic Markers.  Then I cut it in half creating smaller panels, one for each note card.   I also created 2 panels with texture using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. 

 

 

Added my butterfly image and each sentiment to a piece of card stock, die cut using Classic Circles, layered onto a piece of lime green card stock die cut using the Scallop Circles.  A little bit of ribbon to dissect each panel and a few pretty pink rhinestones for accent.  I may make a few more of these note cards and perhaps a box as a gift set.  Everyone loves those!

Glittered Butterflies

Happy Tuesday!  On the Great Impressions Blog today!

 

 

This is a small little note card measuring 3.75" x 3.75" perfect to use as a sweet little gift card.  I used the Great Impressions stamp C270 Butterfly Trio.  I stamped the image numerous times using Tuxedo Black ink.  Then I colored all of the pretty little butterflies using Copic Markers.   

 

 

I doused the entire panel with glitter, the sparkle is so much prettier in real life.  Using a lacy square die, I threaded my ribbon through and tied a little bow topped with a hot pink rhinestone.  I also stamped the Butterfly Trio onto a matching envelope.

 

Our Great Impressions August Challenge, Add A Sentiment, is still going strong, check it out!   And remember to upload your Great Impressions creations into our Customer Gallery.  Prizes will be awarded at the end of the year for some lucky participants!
