Hello!
Happy Wednesday to you!
Midweek Crafting Inspiration: Butterfly Garden Bundle
Finding Light in Winter: A Cardmaking Journey
After experiencing our first winter snowfall on Monday, I felt the need to brighten my day and counteract the creeping sense of dread that often accompanies the colder season. Looking for a little sunshine, I decided to explore my crafting supplies for something cheerful.
Choosing the Butterfly Garden Bundle
I discovered the beautiful Butterfly Garden products from Pinkfresh Studio within my stash. The bundle I selected includes a clear stamp set, a coordinating die, and a layering stencil. This combination offers plenty of creative possibilities and versatility, allowing me to mix and match with other items in my collection.
Designing the Card
Once I settled on the Butterfly Garden Bundle, the creative process flowed easily. I appreciate how this bundle pairs seamlessly with many products, making it ideal for varied crafting projects. For this card, I wanted to incorporate a die-cut frame, so I chose the Dotted Fancy Frames. These frames feature a soft and delicate design, which I thought would accentuate my intricate floral die cuts beautifully.
For the background, I selected the Petal Grid Press Plate, adding subtle texture and interest. I used Lisa Horton Matt Blending inks to bring gentle color to the design and enhanced the overall look with heat embossing, giving the card a special touch of shine and dimension.
The Finished Creation
The card that emerged from this process perfectly showcases the Butterfly Garden Bundle and the complementary products I selected. The combination of delicate frames, textured background, blended inks, and embossed details creates a bright and uplifting piece—just the touch of sunshine I needed on a wintry day.
This Week’s Card
Here’s the card I created using these products.
To create this A2 card, I pressed a background onto white cardstock using Dusky Rose ink and the Petal Grid Press Plate.
I heat-embossed florals from the Butterfly Garden stamp set, colored them with coordinating stencils and inks, and die-cut them in one pass.
Using the Dotted Fancy Frames dies, I cut multiple frames from white and Pink Sand cardstock and assembled them.
Foam squares lifted the floral pieces, and I finished with a die-cut sentiment and Gold Glitter Drops for a touch of sunshine.
