Happy Butterflies! - Therm O Web

I'm up on the blog over at Therm O Web with a couple cards using the Brutus Monroe Magical Monarch dies and some Easy Cut Adhesive... along with a few other things!

In my opinion you can't have too much Rainbow or Butterflies!

I even did some two tone foiling using scraps!

I used lots of fun and beautiful products from the Therm O Web shop!

I hope you'll join me there for all the details!

 

Instagram Hop With Brutus Monroe, Unity Stamps and Therm O Web!

Hello!  I've got some fun for you today and an opportunity to win one of 6 prizes!!  We're having a Triple Brand Instagram Hop!  There is a new release of fabulous Deco Foil Adhesive Transfers and we've got beautiful designs from Brutus Monroe and Unity Stamp Co and they are hopping with the Therm O Web team to show them off!

For this one, I used those fabulous sentiments from Unity Stamp Co!  I built my sentiment using three separate adhesive transfer from one of the new Unity Stamps packs.  I applied the adhesive and foil using my Gemini with just pressure and no heat.  I was on the fence about whether I preferred using heat or pressure for these and I've decided that the pressure method with my Gemini works best for me.

I started with the fabulous Toner Card Front from Brutus Monroe and foiled it in Rainbow Deco Foil.  I added some clouds from Lawn Fawn and applied the sentiment to one of the clouds.  Then I cut the butterfly from the Brutus Monroe Magical Monarchs set from some toner paper foiled with Pink Foil!

This is the card that I'll be sharing for the hop so look for the hop graphic and this card on Instagram.

For this one, I used a foiled gel print I've been hanging onto for a while because I LOVE how it came out and was looking for just the right use.  Well, these floral Adhesive Transfers from Unity were perfect!!  I added one on each corner and applied Rose Gold Deco Foil to them.  I foiled a piece of toner paper in the Rose Gold to use as a base behind the gel print and instead of wasting a whole sheet that would be hidden behind my front panel, I die cut two butterflies from the center and used one here.

I die cut a banner and applied another sentiment to the banner... first in Lilac and then offset some Gold Sequins foil.  I did use two adhesive transfers for this one sentiment but I love the shadow of another color ... very subtle here.. but will definitely try this again!

Now!  Be sure to head on over to Instagram to hop!  You'll find directions on my post regarding what you need to do in order to have a chance to win one of 6 prizes!!  Be there or be square!  You've got to be in it to win it! ...lol... ok ... enough cliches.. get on over there!  Look for the post with the Hop Graphic to get started.

Caffeine Fueled Paper Play-The Best Version of You

I'm up on the blog over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers today with some MORE Magical Monarch!

You'll find details and links for this one over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog!

But before you head over there, I have another one for you and a video!

I created a similar background with this one, but you can see more of the detail here AND this time I foiled the Toner Card Front first with the new Magical Shattered Glass foil!  It is "clear" so whatever you foil with it will show through but with lots of iridescent shine and sparkle!  Here the black toner butterflies really show off all of the color variations of that foil!

I added over the center butterfly a die cut of the same butterfly shape cut from a gel print I added pink flock to!  It's in the Electro-Pop collection just like the inks I used so it is a great match!

I just love how this one turned out too!  And here's a video showing how I created these backgrounds:

Hope you enjoyed it! Come again soon!
