Here’s what I made:
You can fold in the ends as I’ve done here, or you can glue the ends shut, since it opens at the flap.
A couple of Burt’s Bees lip balms fit inside for a small and functional gift.

- box from a 4-1/2″ x 6″ piece of Painted Christmas DSP

Welcome to the March 2021 IRBH – InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Flowers & Fauna. For my project, I used the new Butterfly Brilliance collection for the fauna (butterflies) and the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder for the Flowers, to make a W-fold card. After reading my post, be sure to hop to the next stop, Rachel Brumley at Artistic Designs by Rachel. Scroll down to see the full hop list if you get lost.

Here’s what I made:
The butterflies are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals so they look like they’re flying right off the card.
The embossing shows up better in this photo.

- Magenta Madness card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 4-1/4″ , then scored in half at 5-1/2″

Stamped with the Dandelion Wishes stamp set:
- sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a scrap of Vellum

Cut using the Brilliant Wings Dies:
- the butterflies using the largest die that cuts out all 6 at once
Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:
Embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder:

- 3 Magenta Madness enamel dots applied onto the lower right of the sentiment using my Take Your Pick tool
- Mini Glue Dots placed on the underside of the vellum, under the enamel dots so they won’t show

I hope you were able to get your own. Don’t worry, everything else I used is still available. This was one of our February Candy Hearts Team Meeting cards.

Oct 27, 2020 | Blog Hop, Decor, Frames, Gallery, Halloween, Holiday |
Welcome to the Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop October 2020! This month we’re featuring home decor items you can give as a gift. I made a framed Halloween sampler featuring the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set and the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper, along with Everything Essential stamp set, Hallows Night Magic stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Halloween Magic Dies. While I thought I ordered a black 12×12 frame, a white one came instead. I didn’t have time to get another one, so please try to imagine this in a black frame. Thanks!
Please be sure to hop around to all the stops, to see all the projects this group has made for you today. You will find the list below.

S Style Blog Hop October 2020 Style Blog Hop October 2020 Style Blog Hop October 2020 Style Blog Hop October 2020
Here’s what I made:
I don’t know why I thought this was a tree, when it is clearly a branch with a bat hanging from it. I’m going to try to pull this piece off and rotate it 90 degrees, but I was afraid to try it before I took the photos. By the way, I love how the metallic Mesh Ribbon over the Basic Gray background looks like cobwebs.
I might redo this panel on Rich Razzleberry cardstock instead of Blackberry Bliss, so it would be easier to see. What do you think?
I sponged black ink very lightly all over this embossed layer, which really made the cobwebs show up.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) layers cut 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ (9 pieces)
- Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) layers cut to 3″ x 3″ (8 different patterns)
- Basic Gray CS layer cut to 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
- Pretty Peacock CS layer cut to 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″
- Basic Gray CS layer cut to 2″ x 2″ (2 pieces)
- Blackberry Bliss CS layer cut to 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″
Stamped with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set in black Memento ink *:
- branch onto the Pretty Peacock CS layer
- cat onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
- raven in cage onto a 2″ Basic Gray CS layer
- vampire onto a scrap of Basic Gray CS
- witch onto the Blackberry Bliss CS layer
Stamped using the Everything Essential stamp set *:
- house in black Memento ink onto the other 2″ Basic Gray CS layer
* For all the images with solid areas, I used the Stamparatus so I could stamp multiple times, to make sure I got good solid coverage.
Stamped using the Hallows Night Magic stamp set:
- spider in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Rich Razzleberry CS
- sentiment in Versamark onto a scrap of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed in white
Cut using the Ornate Frames Dies:
- cat and vampire using the same die
- two frames from a scrap of Basic Black CS for the cat and vampire
- two frames from a scrap of Basic Black CS for the sentiment
- sentiment – The sentiment is longer than the die, so I cut the strip to 7/8″, then die cut one end at a time. I lined up the die with one end of the sentiment and covered only that end with the top cutting plate. Then did the same thing on the other end.
Cut using the Halloween Magic Dies:
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- eyes of cat in Granny Apple Green
- cat’s nose in Smoky Slate
- cat’s collar in Blackberry Bliss
- background of cat in Pretty Peacock
- 2 rhinestones in Granny Apple Green
- 2 rhinestones in Blackberry Bliss
- the DSP layer with bats in Blackberry Bliss (I started by coloring just the bats, but I could see where the ink got on the black background, so I colored the entire layer.)
Embossed the moon:
- colored the moon using a Stampin’ Blends Marker dipped in Versamark ink, then heat embossed it in white
- NOTE: this moon is on the top left layer
Embossed using the Cobweb 3D Embossing Folder:
Inked using a Stampin’ Sponge:
- edges of all layers (except the Basic Black CS ones) in black Memento ink
- front of Basic Gray CS layer in black Memento ink, very lightly just to accentuate the embossed cobweb
- NOTE: I cut each sponge into 8 wedges, so they go much farther
Assembled the card:
- cat and vampire glued onto their die cut frames
- sentiment glued onto one frame, lining up one end
- second frame glued onto the back of the sentiment, lining it up with the other end
- Here it is from the back:
- Metallic Mesh Ribbon adhered onto a 12″ x 12″ piece of Basic Gray CS, so it will show between the layers and around the edges, using Tear & Tape
- 3-1/2″ Basic Black CS layers adhered onto the Basic Gray background, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Seal
- 3″ layers adhered onto the Basic Black CS layers using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- all remaining pieces adhered onto their respective 3″ layers using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Granny Apple Green rhinestones applied onto the cat’s eyes using my Take Your Pick tool
- Blackberry Bliss rhinestones applied onto the spider (to approximate an hourglass, like a black widow spider) using my Take Your Pick tool
