Something Saturday - Brightest Birthday Kit

Image
  Hi there Creators Today we're checking out one of the new kits, I have to say WOW!, maybe it's the holographic blingy bits (ooooo bling....🤣)  if you're a regular reader of my blog or watch my YouTube or Facebook channels then you'll know I can't resist bling.  Anyway check out the kit here: Brightest Birthday Kit And here are the cards it makes.... oh and their matching (also blingy) envelopes. Then you'll notice on the first card with the balloons it has a box that has the holographic outline, which is actually a sticker, so in the video I show you how to get the sticker off and onto a separate piece of card without having to pick it off and re-piece it yourself. And this is the card I made with it:  I probably should have used the same Azure Afternoon colour, but I had this piece of Shy Shamrock hanging around my desk, so chose to use that instead, and seeing as the star stamp hadn't been used I figured I should put it into action.  Its not a bad littl...

Something Saturday - Paper Butterfly Accents

 Hi there Creators

Today we're checking out the beautiful Paper Butterfly Accents, not an expensive item, but soooo pretty!

Have to admit that mine had done a runner, and I was left with the outside bit that you pop the butterflies out from, which was what I had planned to do something with, but nevertheless kind of irritating that I couldn't find the rest of the pack, which of course turned up after I'd done the video, so in fact I could use some of the butterflies in these cards.  So annoying when you search and search, then they turn up where you've already checked 1/2  a dozen times!

However I eventually decided I'd just do the video anyway, as they say in Happy Gilmore, "just play it as it lies"🤣

And here's the first card I created, this one uses the bit you'd usually throw away, as a mask, and I love how it turned out!  I've used daubers to add the colour, as I thought brushes might not work so well, I've also used the Filled with Happiness Stamp set (I did use this recently in one of my Something Saturdays)

Then I thought I should actually use some of the butterflies seeing as I found them🤣 This card I used this photopolymer stamp from Beach Day, and the great thing with long photopolymer stamps is that you can curve them onto the block 😍

And this is how it ended up, used some of the In colour pearls in the corners (initially I just did dots but decided these looked way better!)

then lastly I created this background (if you want to know how, watch next weeks video😉) I left the butterflies white and added a few more of those In colour pearls, and the saying from Heartfelt Hexagon.

If you missed the video here it is....

I hope this inspires you to create
