Hi everyone, here is my third post as Guest Designer for
'The Craft Barn'. The theme this week is 'Small scale'. So
I made small cards ( 9 1/2cm x 9cm) with tiny butterflies on,
also matching little tags and bookmarks also. I used a citrus
colour theme this time, nice and Spring like I thought ! Anyway
come and have a closer look................

Card, Tag, Bookmark Recipes
Cards
I first made three white card blanks using some texurized card
to measure 9 1/2 cm x 9 cm and used them tent fold. I stamped a
large butterfly on a matching piece of card ( approx 7 cm x 6 cm).
I love how the stamp has writing on to add a bit of interest
too. I used a Memory Box die to cut some tiny butterflies. I
stuck
four of the largest butterflies to the body of the large butterfly
stamped
earlier. I added two smaller butterflies to the middle
of the other
four. The last butterfly I coloured to match the large
butterfly and stuck that one to the centre of the large butterfly
stamp. I added a clear gem ( coloured to match using a
Promarker pen),..... handy tip. I used small 3d pads to stick the
butterfly topper to the main card. I used three nice bright
Spring coloured inks to make three matching little cards.
I am so temped to make three more now....blue...pink.... lilac !
Tags
I first printed a few sentiments onto some white texturized
card.
I then cut it to (8 cm x 2 cm) and used a corner rounder to round
off the edges. I sponged some ink to add a bit of distressing
to the
edges. I punched a small hole for the ribbon and stuck a tiny
butterfly to the tag ( after first colouring using more ink to match).
I coloured some narrow satin ribbon ( using same method as when
colouring the gem) and added that to the tag. I made three tiny
tags in all to match the cards.
Bookmarks
I used three of the smaller butterfly stamps ( from
same set as
the large one used earlier) to stamp on to a piece of white
card (13 cm x 4 cm.) I stamped a sentiment from the same butterfly
set also. I rounded the
corners again then inked the edges.
I punched a hole and added some matching ribbon ,( coloured to match) .
I like the fact that you can have a card, a matching tag for a
gift and even a bookmark as the gift itself maybe :)
