Lawn Fawn - Bold & Bright Butterflies

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this trio of colorful and bold butterfly themed cards featuring a mix & match of Lawn Fawn items from different years: the gorgeous Butterfly Background stencil set and the Scripty Thinking Of You die + Outline Add-On from the February 2026 release, and the amazing Layered Butterflies die set from an older release to create three magnificent butterflies. Three pretty simple cards, easy and quick to mass produce, but still very catchy for the eye with the contrast between the black elements and the bright colors.

I started off by creating my three backgrounds. I cut three panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables die, and on each panel I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape.

On each panel I first created a soft cloudy background using the Cloudy stencil along with oxide inks: scattered straw for the orange butterfly card, salvaged patina for the blue butterfly card and kitsch flamingo for the purple butterfly card. Next I used the Butterfly Background stencil set on each panel to create three gorgeous butterfly patterns:

• on the orange butterfly card, I applied fossilized amber oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of orange in the center of each butterfly using ripe persimmon oxide ink, used my fossilized amber blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated that process until I was happy with the blending. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added texture to my panel: I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with Liquid Stardust,

• on the blue butterfly card, I applied salvaged patina oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of turquoise in the center of each butterfly using peacock feathers oxide ink, used my salvaged patina blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to my first panel,

• on the purple butterfly card, I applied picked raspberry oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of purple in the center of each butterfly using wilted violet oxide ink, used my picked raspberry blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to the other panels.

When they were dry, I cut three Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables panels out of Black Licorice cardstock, attached each butterfly panel to one of those black panels using double sided sticky tape, and then each black panel to a matching card base.

Next I cut my Layered Butterflies pieces: three intricate butterfly wings out of Black Licorice cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Vellum, and nine butterfly bodies out of Storm Cloud cardstock.

With the nine butterfly bodies, I created three bodies just by sticking three bodies on top of each other using liquid glue. On the vellum butterflies, I added white splatters. On each white panel, I used the same oxide inks as the ones I used to make the backgrounds and added the same textures. And when everything was dry, I assembled my three butterflies: I attached each body to an intricate butterfly, each intricate butterfly to a colorful butterfly using liquid glue, each colorful butterfly to a vellum butterfly, all of this using liquid glue. When the glue was dry, I bent the wings of each butterfly to add dimension, and finally stuck a black pearl at the top of each butterfly's body.

Next I created three identical greetings using the Scripty Thinking Of You die and the Scripty Thinking Of You Outline Add-On. For each card, I cut the shadow element out of Vellum, and cut "Thinking Of You" three times out of Black Licorice cardstock. I attached each word on top of each other to get some nice dimension, and then stuck them to the vellum shadow piece using liquid glue. Finally I attached a butterfly and a greeting to each card using foam squares.

Sunny Studio - Little Buckaroo Card

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back with this lovely farm scene featuring Little Buckaroo by Sunny Studio. I had never colored those cute characters before so I was glad to finally get to do it!

As very often I started off by stamping those adorable cowgirl and cowboy, along with more images from other sets, on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers + Graph'it Brush markers.

So, in addition to the Little Buckaroo images, I picked:

- the barn from Farm Fresh

- the grass sprigs from Bunnyville

- the baby chicks from Clucky Chickens

- the horse + the bale of hay from Barnyard Buddies

Next I created the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and used stencils from my stash along with oxide inks to do my landscape. At the very bottom I created a grass border using mowed lawn + rustic wilderness oxide inks. Right above it I used antique linen + vintage photo oxide inks to create some kind of a muddy/sandy section. Above it I did some mountains using rusty hinge + vintage photo oxide inks. And at the very top I did the sky using mustard seed + spiced marmalade oxide inks.

I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm + 2mm foam squares, stamped my "Greetings from the funny farm" sentiment from Barnyard Buddies in black in the top right hand corner, and finished the card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Sunny Studio - Color My World 3D Card

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog today with this super colorful 3D card featuring crayons that I created using stamps from Color My World. Even before figuring out which design I wanted to make for my card, I knew that I wanted to have my crayons in rainbow order.

So I pulled out all my Lawn Fawn premium dye inks, and stamped a bunch of crayons. I used the first three layers to build the colorful parts of the crayons, and then added the black details. Here are the inks I used for each crayon:

- Red: peachy keen + wild rose + guava

- Orange: peach fuzz + carrot + fate tan

- Yellow: butter + lemonade + sunflower

- Green: celery stick + freshly cut grass + jalapeno

- Aqua: kiddie pool + mermaid + peacock

- Blue: moonstone + forget me not + blue jay

- Purple: fresh lavender + grape soda + grape jelly

- Pink: ballet slippers + bubblegum + plastic flamingo

- Black details: black licorice

I cut all the crayons using the coordinating die, and then moved on to the 3D card base. I decided to use the same color combo as the real Crayola boxes, meaning that I cut all the card base pieces out of dark yellow cardstock, and the decorative pieces out of a green gingham paper from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. I built the whole card base, and then white heat embossed my "You color my world" greeting from Color My World on the front of the card.

Next step was to stick all the crayons inside the card. And to make that part quick and easy, I cut three acetate strips as wide as the card, and attached nine crayons on each strip in a rainbow order using liquid glue. And once I had my three rows of crayons attached on the acetate strips, I stuck each acetate strip inside the card using glue dots. And that's it! I hope that you like this bright and colorful 3D rainbow crayons card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Altenew - In The Woodland Slimline Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to share with you the second card I made using some Altenew products. I'm not used to floral cards, but I had a lot of fun creating those two cards. If you want to check the first one, here it is!

I started off by stamping the small flower cluster from In The Woodland using Obsidian pigment ink on Transotype perfect coloring paper. I used the coordinating die to cut the images, and then used the In The Woodland stencils along with Crisp dye inks to color the flowers and leaves.

To color the flowers, I used frosty pink + coral berry + ruby red + snapdragon + warm sunshine crisp dye inks. And for the leaves, I used frayed leaf + forest glades crisp dye inks.

Next I cut an 8 x 3,5 inches white panel, and used the Leaf Bed stencil along with lost shadow oxide ink to create a subtle leafy background. I added splatters to this panel by mixing black soot oxide ink with water, as well as copic opaque white ink with water. And I added the same textures on the flowers.

I cut a "Hello" out of gold mirror cardstock, another one out of white cardstock using the Simply Hello die, and glued the gold mirror "Hello" on top of the white one. I also white heat embossed "You have been on my mind" from In The Woodland on black cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner. And I cut two white Linear Crossroads pieces.

Next I cut a 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base. I added a piece of Gold Foil Pinstripe Washi Tape on the top edge and bottom edge of the card base, and then attached my panel on the card base. I cut the Linear Crossroads pieces in half, and stuck the four elements on my panel using liquid glue. I also attached the flowers using 1mm foam squares, and my greeting elements using 2mm foam squares. And finally I glued a few clear droplets here and there to add more shine to my card.

And that's it! Thank you so much, Altenew, for having me!

Altenew - In The Woodland Stenciled Card

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to share with you this card I made using several Altenew products. It's totally different than what I usually make, but I had a blast creating this floral card!

I started off by stamping the largest flower cluster from In The Woodland using Obsidian pigment ink on Transotype perfect coloring paper. I used the coordinating die to cut the images, and then used the In The Woodland stencils along with Crisp dye inks to color the flowers and leaves.

To color the flowers, I used frosty pink + coral berry + ruby red + snapdragon + warm sunshine crisp dye inks. And for the leaves, I used frayed leaf + forest glades crisp dye inks.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4 inches white panel, and used the Leaf Bed stencil along with lost shadow oxide ink to create a subtle leafy background. I added splatters to this panel by mixing black soot oxide ink with water, as well as copic opaque white ink with water. And I added the same textures on the flowers.

I cut a "Hello" out of gold mirror cardstock, another one out of white cardstock using the Simply Hello die, and glued the gold mirror "Hello" on top of the white one. I also white heat embossed "To a dear friend" from In The Woodland on black cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white card base. I added a piece of Gold Foil Pinstripe Washi Tape on the right edge of the card base, and then attached my panel on the card base. I stuck my flowers using 1mm foam squares, and my greeting elements using 2mm foam squares. And finally I glued a few clear droplets here and there to add more shine to my card.

I will share a second card very soon, so stay tuned!

Pretty Pink Posh June Instagram Hop

Hi there,

Summer is right around the corner and Pretty Pink Posh has a brand new collection of products inspired by the scrumptious fresh fruits that are in season. And I'm back today with this adorable card showcasing the Watermelon stamp set + coordinating dies, as well as the Layered Watermelon stencils. I also added flowers from the Citrus stamp set, and a cute kitty from an older set, Cuddly Cats.

Please check my post on Instagram to get all the details about this hop.

So I started off by stamping the images from Watermelon + Citrus + Cuddly Cats on Transotype perfect coloring paper, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and stenciled it using the Layered Watermelon stencils + distress oxide inks: worn lipstick, festive berries, shabby shutters, mowed lawn and black soot.

I cut a 5,25 x 4 inches vellum panel, and stamped the words "Hi sweet friend" and "You're one in a" from Watermelon using black stazon ink. I also white heat embossed the word "Melon" on dark coral cardstock, cut it using the coordinating die, and then attached it on the bottom right hand corner using 1mm foam squares.

I stuck the images on the vellum panel using 1mm foam squares again, and then to attach the vellum panel to the stenciled panel and make the glue invisible, I added liquid glue at the back of the images only. And as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Sunny Studio - Berry Bliss Infinity Shaker Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this infinity shaker card showcasing some delicious strawberries from Berry Bliss.

I first started with the strawberries, and I used premium dye inks by Lawn Fawn to stamp them. I stamped the first layer using Ballet Slippers ink, the second one using Peachy Keen ink, and the third one using Guava ink. Next I added greenery on top of each strawberry and stamped some extra leaves using Crisp Autumn. I used Celery Stick ink to stamp the first layer, and Freshly Cut Grass ink to stamp the second one, and for the leaves I used Jalapeno ink to stamp the third layer. I cut all the images using the coordinating dies, and then moved on to the shaker panel that I created using the same process as my Autumn Tree card.

I first cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Spring Sunburst panel, and also cut a plastic storage sleeve to get one single sheet of plastic. Added thin double sided tape all along the four edges of my plastic sheet, placed my panel in the middle and cut the four corners off the plastic sheet, creating tabs on each side of my panel. I folded and attached three of those four tabs, added a mix of polymer clay confetti and iridescent confetti inside the plastic pocket, and then folded and attached the remaining tab to close my infinity shaker panel.

I attached the strawberries at the bottom of the shaker panel using 1mm foam squares, and next I created my "Hi sweetie" greeting using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet. I cut each letter twice: out of gold glitter cardstock and out white cardstock. I glued the gold glitter letters on top of the white ones, and finally I stuck everything on my panel right above the strawberries.

Sunny Studio - Clean & Simple Golden Butterflies Cards

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this duo of cute and bright cards. They feature the butterfly stamp from the Watering can stamp set, I didn't get a chance to use that stamp before, and I thought it would be nice to use it with rainbow colors.

I started by cutting a 6 x 3" mini slimline white panel, and an 8,5 x 3,5" slimline white panel. On the mini slimline panel I printed texture using the Moroccan circles embossing folder, and on the slimline panel I added texture by creating lines each quarter of an inch using a ball tool.

I gold heat embossed a bunch of butterflies on vellum, and I cut them using the coordinating die. I used that same coordinating die to cut colorful butterflies. And I white heat embossed a "Thinking of you" sentiment from Watering can on a black banner.

Next I assembled the cards. On the mini slimline panel, I added a vertical row of butterflies. I first attached plain butterflies in a rainbow order using foam squares, tucked my "Thinking of you" sentiment between two butterflies, and then stuck a golden butterfly on each plain butterfly using liquid glue.

And on the slimline panel, I stamped a simple "Hello" sentiment from Lovely lilacs, attached plain butterflies in zigzag using foam squares, and then added a golden butterfly on each plain butterfly. And I finished both cards by gluing clear droplets to bring more light.

Purple Onion Designs - Double Slider Surprise Fishing Card

 Hey there,

I'm back with a new card showcasing some Purple Onion Designs rubber stamps, and to remind you that there is an amazing sale on their shop to celebrate their 18th anniversary: you get 25% off the rubber stamps and that sale ends on August 9th, so happy shopping.

Stamped all my images using extreme black ink by My Favorite Things, cut them all using my Scan 'n Cut, and as usual I colored everything my Spectrum Noir markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Next I created the background using the Double Slider Surprise die set by Lawn Fawn. I cut one pocket panel and two small panels, stamped mountains on those three panels, and used my alcohol markers again to color those elements. I also made the sky using tumbled glass distress ink and a cloud stencil.

I cut a second pocket panel, as well as a track piece. Folded both pocket pieces right on the score lines to create a slim flap on each element and applied double sided sticky tape on those slim flaps. And I also applied that tape on the track piece, right on the long edges, front and back.

Next I cut a strip of plastic as wide as the track piece. Applied doubled side tape on one end and attached that strip around the track piece. Not too tight and not too loose or the mechanism won't work.

I cut the excess of plastic, and placed the seam on the left end, applied tape on the seam, flipped the track piece over and applied tape on the other end.

And before assembling everything, I attached my images on my two small panels and next on the pocket panel using liquid glue. Next step was to assemble everything, and I invite you to watch the video below to see how it was done.

I attached a woodgrain panel on a white card base, stamped and cut my sentiment, cut another panel out of a yellow pattern paper, attached handles at the back of each small panel, and added foam tape at the back of the pocket, that I stuck on the yellow pattern paper.

Next I attached that new panel on the card base using double sided tape, and finally stuck my sentiment banner above the pocket using foam squares. And I finished the card by adding white highlights and details on the images.

Hello Bluebird - Fishing with Cheeky Ducks

 Hello there,

I'm back with a new Hello Bluebird card and this time, how about we go fish at the river and have a quiet time to relax? Unless we get distracted by some noisy but super cute ducks.

I made the background first and started by cutting all the elements to fit on a 5,25" square panel, and created a simple cloudy sky using spun sugar and kitsch flamingo distress inks along with a cloud stencil.

Next I colored the other background elements using more distress inks: the grass borders using shabby shutters + peeled paint, the river using shabby shutters + broken china, the tree trunks using gathered twigs + ground espresso, and the foliage using peeled paint + forest moss.

I stamped all my images using extreme black ink by My Favorite Things, cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I assembled everything, background pieces and images, on my square panel using foam squares, glue dots and liquid glue. And once the scene was finished, I added white highlights and details to the images, I also cut some letters to create the word "Quacky" that I stuck on the bottom section of my card, and I completed my sentiment by adding the word "Sending" on the left and the word "Smiles" on the right. And finally I applied a coat of glossy accents on the letters to make them super shiny and pop on the card.
