NEW Edge'ables Fancy Borders from Crafter's Companion USA

Happy Friday all you crafty peeps!

Crafter's Companion USA just released 5 NEW Fancy Borders in the Edge'ables Metal Dies Collection that are gonna BLOW.YOU.AWAY! You're gonna want them all. Yep! That's why CC put together a special bundle deal for you. Check it out HERE.

I designed my project using the NEW Butterfly Dreams Edge'ables Die.

Isn't this great! I love that the dies have both positive and negative details. And the pop-up areas!!! LOVE! The wings are attached...but you can lift them to give even more dimension!

The stamps I used on the inside left panel are from Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy - The Butterfly Effect. I stamped the butterfly with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Spectrum Noir Markers: GG2, GG4, GB1, GB4, GB5, BT2, BT5, BT1, BT2 and the Blender marker. Then I stamped the sentiment images using Memento Pistachio and Teal Zeal, first stamping off on scratch paper to lighten the ink.
 

 
The stamp on the right panel is from a Stamp-It Australia set - Friendship Sentiment. Stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Pistachio. I also added some clear sequins.

I die-cut the Butterfly Edge'ables die on the from card panel. The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark ink and heat emboss in white. A few sequin and ribbon tied around - then adhered to card front with dimensional foam adhesive. The other 2 colored cardstock panels are adhered flat.

Destinations Spirit of Adventure

Have you had a chance to see the NEW Destinations Collection that was released over at Crafter's Companion USA? Magnaficient images, sentiments and a Papercrafting Twin CD-ROM! THUD!

Here's a card I made using the new Spirit of Adventure stamp set along with some of the printed digital papers and elements.

This looks like several layers of designer papers, but it's only 3 panels. Just wait till you see all the goodies on the Destinations Papercrafting CD-ROM. Thousands! All I did was print, trim, ink the edges and add glitter to the base layer. No hoarding these beautiful designer papers. Go ahead and cut 'em up. Yeah...YOU know what I'm talkin' about...
  Just print more. ;)

The image and sentiment are stamped on white cardstock, then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and Blendable Colored Pencils

Skin
   Markers: FS2, FS4, TN2
   Pencils: 003, 117
Wings
   Markers: TB1, BT8, BT1, JG1, BT5
   Pencils: 071, 001
Banner and Dress
   Markers: EB1, EB2, BG1, Blender
   Pencils: 112, 117, 001
Hair
   Markers: TN6, TN3

To add sparkle and shimmer on the wings, I added crystal glitter and painted on some Sheer Shimmer Spritz. I also stamped and colored the banner again, cut it out and adhered the ends flat - popping up the center area with foam adhesive. It's a bit time consuming...but the dimension it gives is so worth it!

Delicate Butterfly Trio

Hello friends,

This butterfly die from Crafter's Companion Spring/Summer Die Collection is one of my new favorites. It's called Delicate Butterfly.

On the white cardstock panel, under each butterfly, is a stamped mesh patterned image from Sheena's Ageing Beautifully set. To get the ink colores to coordinate with the butterflies, I stamped-off the color once before stamping on the white cardstock panel. I us this "stamping-off" technique all the time. It works great when you don't have an ink color that matches your paper or other elements.

Under the blue butterfly, I stamped a blue text strip - stamping the ink off once as well. The little black stamped butterfly and the "life" sentiment are from Sheena's Silhouette Garden set.  The ink splatters were done with ink color spray. I just love these colors together! I got inspiration to make this card from a design in one of my SU catalogs.

Thanks for stopping by today :)
