FINDING MY WAY ► Majo

Hello crafty friends!

It’s my turn today to show you the beautiful butterfly stamp along with all the other images on my project.

 

This time I decided to make a ticket card. The ticket is a die from Studio Light, a Dutch manufacturer. Even though this die is meant to be folded together I liked it better this way.

I started by cutting the panels from cardstock, the smallest one is watercolor paper so I was able to spritz water on it.

After adhering the two larger layers together with miracle tape, I set them aside and started working on the smallest one.

I swiped a Distress ink pad (Fossilized Aber) over the paper and added drops by splashing water with a brush which I dipped in different colors of distress oxides. I used Broken China, Worn Lipstick and once again Fossilized Amber.

After stamping the beautiful butterfly and all the other stamps for the background texture, I cut some flowers from paper I had in my stash and added some coordinating colors. A sentiment finishes my ticket card.

 I used the following stamps:

9459 - Butterfly

20030 – Finding my way

Scribble Circle 20166 from plate 1495

You are beautiful 19832 from plate 1471

I also used Miracle Tape, Studio Light STENCILSL99, Sizzix Wildflowers 661190

 and Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Cardstock.

Thank you for stopping over, Happy Crafting ♥

I wish you all a wonderful time until Christmas!

Birthday Card ► Majo

Good morning, dear crafty friends.

Today I'd like to show you a birthday card I made for a close friend. 

I stuck to her favorite colors and decided since it's her 60th birthday, it should be something special. I know she adores butterflies, so of course I used one on the card.

I started by applying gesso with a stencil.

I added Distress Spray Stain in different colors, making sure to dry each layer in between. I wiped the paint off the raised parts.

After I stamped my sentiment, I added more stamping on the background for some texture. 

I cut the butterfly with a Sizzix Movers & Shapers die and applied the same colors Distress Spray Stain. After distressing the edges I adhered it with glue dots. In order to let the butterfly have some antennas, I used a butterfly stamp, which I then covered with the die cut. 

 Here are some close ups of the background ....

I adhered the panel to a black card base with miracle tape.

I have used the following stamps:

19585

9473

10599

19827

Miracle Tape

I also used:

Distress Spray Stain

Movers & Shapers - Butterfly

Stencil

Gesso 

Thanks so much for joining me here today, you all have a wonderful time and Happy Crafting ♥

Butterfly Tag with Miracle Sheet ► Majo

Hello dear Crafty Friends,

Majo here, it's my turn again to show you a little something I made with a product I actually use mostly for adhering things. 

 

But the Miracle Sheets are so versatile, you can use them with all kinds of embellishments, such as glitter, beads, flocking etc. For me the most important fact is, that I can use it with my BigShot to cut all shapes I desire AND heat emboss the die cuts.

Lets's get started with my tag ....

I used a piece of cardstock I had in my stash already colored with distress ink in different colours and cut a tag.

 

I added some stamps for the background, pretty much staying in the same colour range. I also cut the butterfly. I used a Sizzix Thinlits die, designed by Tim Holtz.

 

 

 This is the part I like least ..... ;)

 

After I took off the backing of the Miracle Sheets, I applied WOW Detail White Embossing powder and heat embossed the butterfly.

I added some wire for the antennae.

Here are some close ups for you to see how detailed the Sheets can be cut.

 

These are the stamps I used:

20035

19563

19659

19409

Miracle Sheets

Thanks so much for stepping by today, have a good time and Happy Crafting ♥
