Nature's Paintings Alternative Cards

 I have introduced you, through my videos of one of our latest kits entitled, "Nature's Paintings Kit.  It comes with a "coloring book", Water Colored Pencils, and a Water Painter.  You can color any picture in the book you want, lightly paint some water over the image by "coloring" with the brush, to get a watercolor look to your picture.  You can find this kit in our Kits Collections and then going to the Crafting Kits section.  All can be found by following those links in my shop.

As I looked over the pages I had painted.  I began to wonder what I could do with the pictures.  Should I frame them?  Put them in a scrapbook?  How would I create some cards with them?  And then, the light bulb went on! 

The first picture I used Garden Green Cardstock.  The picture I cut out and adhered it to the outside of the card, with Stampin Dimensionals.  I topped it off with three Faux Glass Dots.  Inside I put my message.  

The second picture I cut the page down to a 5-1/4" X 4" piece and placed in on the Pretty In Pink Cardstock with Stampin' Seal. I also used the Pretty In Pink 3/8" Bordered Ribbon and Iridescent Faceted Gems. 

Both cards were stamped with sentiments from the Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set.  Look at the short video showing how fun and easy it was to put these together!

A Literal Butterfly Card

 Often, when I see a picture of a card, or a particular image, I ask myself, "How'd they do that?"  Then I attempt to try it out.  That's exactly what happened in this case.  I wanted to know how an actual card literally became a butterfly card.  I used a die cut from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle, found in the January - April 2025 Mini Catalog.   Pages 38-41 to be exact.  I then tried it out and this was the result:


I started by trying it with the Balmy Blue Cardstock and just stamped a pattern around it.  Then I used our Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.  I added another butterfly from another die cut and posted my greeting.  I made a video of my creating this card.  You will need to watch it to fully understand how to make it.
