Butterfly Punch Pansy - One Hour Card Class 013 OHCC013

This is one of those ‘old’ techniques that never gets old!  If you look closely, you can see they are made from to Butterfly punches that are layered with an brad holding them together in the center. 

Punch out two butterflies from Shimmer White cardstock – you need two for each flower.  Spritz them with water, allowing the water to pool.  Load Aqua Painter with Crushed Curry ink from a re-inker and touch the brush to the middle of the butterflies.   The ink will spread, but you might have to "help" it along. 

Touch the outside edges with Elegant Eggplant ink from a re-inker. 

Let dry.  Use Eggplant Envy Marker to draw lines to the center of the butterflies.  Curl wings with a bone folder. 

Adhere one butterfly crosswise over the other with a gold brad.

Splattering Cardstock - One Hour Card Class 026 OHCC026

This is a total case off Pinterest!  I am in love with this stamp set especially when it is paired with the Butterfly Basics Photopolymer stamp set and the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.  This is a great set for birthday, sympathy, congratulation or any card!

Craft - How to make Flags using a Square Punch and Workshop Cards

Before I show you the cards I made at Joanne’s SU Workshop for February, I would like to show you how to make a flag or a flag end.  Stamp and cut out a rectangle – any width will work.  Mark a light pencil line where you want the flag end to be.

 

It helps to mark the center width of the rectangle too.  Align one short end of the cardstock in the corner of your square punch – I used SU!’s 13/8” square punch.

 

Presto!  Takes a bit of practice but it is that easy!

 

Erase your pencil marks.  Ok, on to the cards.

Before I show you the cards I made at Joanne’s SU Workshop for February, I would like to show you how to make a flag or a flag end.  Stamp and cut out a rectangle – any width will work.  Mark a light pencil line where you want the flag end to be.

 

It helps to mark the center width of the rectangle too.  Align one short end of the cardstock in the corner of your square punch – I used SU!’s 13/8” square punch.

 

Presto!  Takes a bit of practice but it is that easy!

 

Erase your pencil marks.  Ok, on to the cards.
