Today I am sharing the projects I designed for my April Cass in the Mail using the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou designer Series Paper (dsp). This paper is stunning, I am so sad that it is only available until May or while stocks last.

Each pack contained all the card stock needed to make each card including the pre embossed panel for the two butterfly card, 6 sheets of the Butterfly Bijou dsp – I die cut the butterflies from one of the sheets for those who don’t have the Brilliant Wings dies and I cut the dsp panels for those without a paper trimmer. A strip of Oval Rounds, a gold hoop and a little treat. The ladies provided their own sentiments.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Pink Butterfly card, you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight layer – 4⅛” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Butterfly Bijou dsp – 4” by 3”
Basic White – 4⅛” by ½”

The long strip of dsp was glued to the Misty Moonlight card base using the liquid glue

We added the embossed panel to the larger panel of dsp using the same glue. The panel was embossed using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. The whole piece was then mounted on the Misty Moonlight card base using Dimensionals.

We added the Gold Hoop to the card front using liquid adhesive and the butterflies were added on Dimensionals. The card was decorated with the Oval Rounds

To recreate the Fun Fold Butterfly card, you will:

Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” & 2”

We folded and burnished the card base, the centre panel in half then the other score line back on itself – this makes a Z shape.

The DSP strips were glued to one of the Basic White panels – I alternated butterfly patterns with non-butterfly patterns.

The decorated panel was added to the Misty Moonlight layer and then t the card front, adhering only the left side.

A butterfly was added with liquid glue and decorated with the Oval Rounds.

Today I am sharing the cards made at this week’s classes using the First Frost Stamp set and co-ordinating Frosted Bouquet Dies.

Faux Silk Technique card

Lovely floral card made using the First Frost stamp set and Frosted Bouquet dies by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous card made using the First Frost stamp set and the faux silk technique

You will need;
Berry Burst card base – rounded upper left corner
Lemon Lime Twist 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝ x 2 -rounded upper left corner
Tissue Paper 5¾” by 4”
Adhesive Sheet 5¾” by 4”
Scrap Whisper White

We used the Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist Markers to colour in the stamp, huffed on the inked stamp to re-moisten the drying ink and stamped it onto one of the Whisper White panels. We then stamped the larger flower in Berry Burst ink and the smaller flower in Balmy Blue ink onto the scrap Whisper White.

The 2 stamped flowers were then die cut using the Frosted Bouquet dies. The ladies then chose a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set, stamped it in Fresh Fig ink onto the scrap Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch.

We peeled off the protective backing from the adhesive sheet and laid it, sticky side down onto the stamped panel taking care not to stick it to the grid paper underneath! We trimmed the excess adhesive sheet using sharp scissors. The scissors were then cleaned with alcohol to remove the glue.

We crumpled the tissue paper into a ball then carefully unfolded it leaving many of the wrinkles. The tissue paper was then laid over the sticky stamped panel and pressed into position; the over-hanging tissue was then trimmed away. The flowers were then added with Liquid Glue or Dimensionals and the sentiment added over top.

This layer was then glued to the Lemon Lime Twist panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was added to the Berry Burst card front with Dimensionals.

We stamped a flower on the inside panel and the envelope and added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins to complete the card.

The Wishing You Well card

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous floral card made using the First Frost stamp set

You will need;
Lemon Lime Twist card base
Berry Burst 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝ – for the inside – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5⅛” by 3⅜” – for the card front –Rounded upper left corner
Fresh Fig 3” by 2”
Scrap Whisper White

Using the scrap Whisper White cardstock we stamped 2 of the leafy images in Lemon Lime Twist, 2 small flowers in Balmy Blue, 1 Berry Burst rose and 2 thistles in Fresh Fig. These images were all then die cut using the Big Shot and the Frosted Bouquet dies.

The sentiment from the First Frost stamp set was stamped in Fresh Fig ink onto the smaller piece of Whisper White and this piece was then die cut using the label dies along with the slightly larger Fresh Fig label. They were then glued together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Whisper White panel with Dimensionals.

The die cut pieces were then arranged around the label using a combination of Dimensionals and Liquid Adhesive. We cut the leafy images down to give a fuller look and there was a lot of debate about whether the thistle image looked more like beetles or spiders!!!

The decorated panel was added to the Berry Burst layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then glued to the Lemon Lime Twist card base with the same adhesive.

We stamped a couple of the leaf or flower images onto the inside Whisper White layer and the envelope an added a scattering of sequins.

The Faux Masked card

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous floral card made using the First Frost stamp set

You will need;
Balmy Blue card base – Rounded lower right corner
Fresh Fig 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – 1 for the inside and 1 for the card front – Rounded lower right corners
Fresh Fig 3⅝” by 1 ½”
Whisper White 3⅝” by 1⅜”

We lined up one of the larger Whisper White panels on the grid paper making sure it was straight. We laid the 1⅜” strip of Whisper White on top and drew pencil lines on either side. This gave us the area on the panel that we needed to added images to.

We began by stamping the largest image, in this case the Berry Burst flower above the top pencil line and below the lower line making sure to overlap the lines.

We then stamped the leafy images in lemon Lime Twist, the small flowers in Balmy Blue and finally the thistles (beetles or spiders!) in Fresh Fig. The pencil lines were then rubbed out.

The sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set was stamped in Fresh Fig ink onto the Whisper White strip and the strip was then glued to the Fresh Fig strip with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the stamped panel with Dimensionals.

This piece was then glued to the Fresh Fig layer then to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish the card off we stamped a couple of the leaf or flower images onto the inside Whisper White layer and the envelope an added a scattering of sequins.
