Bring on ALL the Butterflies! Create a Spring Fantasy with Simon Says Stamp Die-Cuts: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Please join me in welcoming special bi-monthly guest Caly Person to our blog! Read on, and be sure to watch the video to learn more about this bright and happy card design! Enjoy!
Hi there! My card combines old and new products and combine inking techniques for fun texture. The Billow Butterfly Plate is gorgeous and coordinates with the Billow Butterfly die, which cuts out accessory pieces that add butterfly details,
For the background, I combined ink-blending, ink-smooshing, and water droplets to create a colorful, textured panel. All of those techniques are done in that order using Pawsitively Saturated Inks over Distress Watercolor Paper.

Once the background was made, I die-cut the Billow Butterfly Plate in white and adhered it over the rainbow background panel with 3D Foam Adhesive Stripes to add dimension.
For additional interest, I added Billow Butterflies die-cut with Matte Gold Cardtsock for the bodies and White Glitter Cardstock for the outline butterflies. I also die-cut some vellum leaves using the Leafy Sprig die to add texture.
I finished with sentiments from the Just a Note Notes set from Cathy Zielske; the die-cut sentiment on the outside of the card, and a stamped sentiment on the inside of the card.
I hope you enjoyed this card! Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly

NEW Art Journaling Installation with Shari Carroll: Metallic Accents on Faux Alcohol Ink Background
Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari Carroll here with another entry to my circle journal. I’ve been creating many styles with my pages as I go along. Today, I’m featuring some fantastic products I’ve pulled together for a simple, colorful, shiny page.
I found this gorgeous Paper Rose Inky Colour 6×6 paper in our store and had to use it on my project. The colors are so bright, and the surface is perfect for heat embossing.
Remember, Art Journaling is what you want it to be. You can use your pages as technique reminders, messages to yourself, or just something pretty. They are for you.

New Twist on the Popular Blackout Embossing Folder Technique!
Hey friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! I’m sharing a twist on the “blackout” embossing folder technique that is super hot right now. For my projects, I am using our Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks and our new Beaufort Floral Frame embossing folder.
I also used our Simon Says Stamp Large Happy Birthday die and Bold Birthday sentiment strips to add greetings to each of the cards.
The blackout technique gives a completely different look to your embossed designs—and by using this twist on the idea, you get to change the feel of the card by using a combination of colors. I just love it!
Want to learn more about how I achieved this look? Watch the video below for all the details!
