SAB Botanical Butterfly DSP

Botanical Butterfly DSP

~ Karen Young

This quick and easy card using the SAB Botanical Butterfly DSP was a project at my recent Stamp-a-Stack Class.

I love the monochrome effect with the splash of colour from the punched butterfly. A touch of shimmer comes from the Black/Silver Striped Metallic Ribbon from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

The sentiment is from the Jar of Love Stamp Set and we used Memento Tuxedo Black.

A base card in Thick Whisper White and a Basic Black layer co-ordinates with the DSP.

The coloured butterfly is from another sheet of DSP in the pack and is punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch.

It’s attached to the card using a Dimensional to make it fly off the page.

Instead of using the Thick Cardstock to create bases, you could use Notecards to make the DSP go further. I could see it making a batch of ‘Thank You’ cards or different sentiments to give as a gift. The possibilities are endless.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Hues of Highland Heather

~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was all about using one colour, this one was hues of Highland Heather.

It uses the Highland Heather piece of fabulous FREE SAB Botanical Butterfly DSP as a background.

Stripes of Sheer Whisper White Ribbon are then coloured using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack to create a light and dark strip. These are attached with Tear & Tape to keep them secure.

With Whisper White Ribbon and Stampin’ Blends, you can create ribbon in lots of different shades for all of your projects.

The butterflies are created using the Stampin’ Blends to colour a strip of Whisper White Cardstock. These are then cut out using the Butterfly Duet Punch from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

‘A little note’ from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set is stamped in Highland Heather and I’ve added some sponge daubering to the edge, along with one of the white butterflies.

Wink of Stella is used on all the butterflies to give a shimmery effect, although it doesn’t show very well in the pictures.

Glue Dots are used to attach the butterflies to the project at the end.

As the base card is from Thick Whisper White, it creates a delicate monochrome-esque look. Perfect for any occasion.

I think I may create a similar project using the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack for a floral design.

Sale-A-Bration only runs until the end of this month, so make sure you don’t miss out on getting your hands on some fabulous FREE products.
