You’re Going to Flip – Brand Ambassador Release Day Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Happy Weekend!

I do hope you’ve enjoyed You’re Going to Flip Week here on the blog and you’re as excited about this new stencil, as I am 😃 It is now available HERE on the website to purchase and if you are coming to Stamping Together in Port Sunlight today, I will have stock with me. I will also be doing a LIVE demo on the How To Craft Network using this stencil. The live is recorded and I will share it once it is available in case you miss it.

Anyway, back to this fun stencil…

This is designed like the previously released Ink & Flip Geometric Heart Layering Stencil. In that you can use each layer individually or use them together.

So let’s have a look at this in action…

For my first card I went for a mix of bold colours with soft colours to create this striking card. For the background I used Parsley and Rainforest. And for the butterfly I used Watermelon and Creamsicle.

This time for the butterfly I inked and flipped it onto a separate piece of card, fussy cut it out and adhered it using foam adhesive. This helps it pop a little more against the base card. To finish I used a sentiment from Simply Said Blocks II.

I’m all about the dimension on my cards today, as for my next card I used just the butterfly layer.

I inked two butterfly’s, one bright and bold to use on the top and one soft and delicate to use underneath. You can see in this photo below how I have scored and layered them.

To finish the card I added a sentiment from Floral Vines and also the trio of dots, which I added Nuvo Drops to.

That’s all I have to share today, but I am sure you will be seeing more of this stencil in the coming days!

Be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a Flippin’ Good Prize! Commenting to win will close midnight BST Sunday 28th April 2024 and I will announce the winner on the blog 29th April.

Thank you so much for joining us this week, for all the lovely comments and support.

You’re Going to Flip – Introducing Ink & Flip Geometric Butterfly Layering Stencil

Hello & Welcome to You’re Going to Flip Week!

It’s been such a fun week on the blog, I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. Today though, I am super excited as we finally get to introduce you to the NEW Ink & Flip Geometric Butterfly Layering Stencil.

This stencil is designed just like the previous Ink & Flip Geometric Heart Layering Stencil. With a base layer that creates a Butterfly window and a second detail layer that creates the geometric butterfly.

Let’s have a look at it in action…

I couldn’t resist using the geometric butterfly layer first and with two vibrant colours. I used Dragonfruit and Oceanside. My sentiment choice is from Floral Vines.

Next I had to use both layers together to show you how it looks as one.

Again I opted for some bright and cheerful colours. I used Honeysuckle and Poppy for the base background layer and Buttercup and Oceanside for the butterfly.

I kept things simple and finished with the Thinking Of You sentiment from Everyday Sentiments.

So, what do you think?

I know it’s easier to see these stencils in action, so I will be sharing a video on YouTube as soon as I can 😃

For now, why not enjoy more inspiration from the Brand Ambassadors over HERE.

This new stencil will be available on the website HERE tomorrow at 9am BST and I hope you will join us here on the blog for our usual Brand Ambassador Release Day Blog Hop & Giveaway.

Introducing… Stencil English Country Garden Butterflies Bundle

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Welcome back to day 3 and the final introduction of the June 2021 Mini Uniko Stencil Release. Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, the start of the hop.

Let me introduce you to the next stencils, English Country Garden Butterflies Bundle…

The bundle consists of two 6 x 6 inch stencils and a mask. Although I have bundled these together, there are lots of creative ways of using them on their own. Just as there is by using them together and combined with the English Country Garden Butterflies clear stamp AND the English Country Garden Butterflies Designer Dies!

Here is how I used them today…

I started off simple for my first card & combined both of the stencils. I started by inking the solid butterfly first with Distress Oxide inks in Mustard Seed, Spiced Pumpkin & Lipstick.

I then placed the detail stencil over the top and used Spiced Pumpkin, Lipstick and Festive Berries. I finished the card with a sentiment from Birthday Sentiments.

So many ideas for these stencils, but lastly for today I wanted to use just the butterfly mask…

I often forget to reach for other colour card, but I am currently going through a phase of using Kraft! I love how Distress Oxide inks still remain bright and vibrant on Kraft.

For this I temporarily adhered the mask and inked around using Salvaged Patina, Wilted Violet & Picked Raspberry. The sentiment is from Simply Said Blocks II and I added a little trio of black Nuvo Drops.

That’s all from me today, but be sure to hop around all of the Brand Ambassador blogs…

This stencil bundle along with the others introduced over the last couple of days will be available for purchase HERE on the website tomorrow Sunday 20th June at 9am BST.

Be sure to pop back tomorrow for the June 2021 Stencil Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

April / May 2019 Reveal, Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

Finally the day has arrived and the April / May 2019 Reveal, Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY is here! The Release will be available to purchase HERE at a NEW time of 9pm GMT tonight.

Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, where I have formally introduced the 4 new Clear Stamp Set designs, 2 coordinating Designer Die collections AND 1 Stencil Design being released.

I’ve made a couple more cards using the new products, not as many as I had hoped to make, but I do feel I am getting back into the creative groove again…

My first card uses the Designer Dies English Country Garden Butterflies. I’ve been wanting to pair the butterfly with the Large French Script Background for ages and it seemed the perfect time now I had the dies to match. They give such a love clean cut edge compared to fussy cutting!

I still have a thing for shades of grey! Hence my colour scheme, though I did add in a little hint of aqua for the butterfly body and some Nuvo Drop detail. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments, which is now back in stock.

My last card today was inspired by a couple of things. Firstly the Double Challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches seen HERE and below.

And secondly by Jenny’s card HERE our Guest Designer for this release. I just loved how Jenny thought to cut up the Background Block Mid Century Modern II. So I did the same, this time using it for the top and bottom border in the sketch.

I simply stamped the Background Block Mid Century Modern II in black and coloured the outline sections with the closest colours to the challenge as I had. I then got to fussy cutting the sections out and adhered them to my card base using some new Gina K Connect Glue – LOVE! Thanks for the recommendation Lynda 😉

The sentiment is another from Birthday Sentiments and I’ve accented it with a flower from Mid Century Modern Florals and some of my favourite Gloss White Nuvo Drops!

That’s all from me today, but as usual we have our traditional Design Team Blog Hop & Giveaway. To be in the chance of winning The ENTIRE April / May 2019 Release! (4 clear stamp sets, 2 previously released clear stamp sets, 2 co-ordinating designer die collections & 1 stencil design).

Simply comment along the blog hop, it’s as easy as that! You have until Midnight Sunday 12th May 2019. Winner will be announced a few days after.

Happy Hopping!
