Watercolouring with Butterfly Gala

Hey folks! I am completely in LOVE with today’s card. I’ve had this one sat on my desk for weeks, but I’ve been waiting for the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating punch to come back into stock before sharing it with you.

Watercolour Punch art thinking of you card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

There are a couple of steps to this card, but it’s still simple to create… it just takes a bit of time.

I had a bunch of scraps of watercolour paper out on my desk, and I used Stampin’ Up! classic inks to watercolour them. I was really messy with this, because the butterflies are little and I still wanted you to see that they are watercoloured. There are 4 colours here; Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green.

This is why this card takes a little bit of time, because once those scraps have been watercoloured they need to be left a little while to dry. I but them to one side and carried on making a few more cards before then using the Butterfly Duet punch to punch out those cute butterflies.

You guys know that I’m not a fan of flat cards, I love a bit of dimension, and so some of the butterflies are adhered directly to the card base, and some are popped up on Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment is also from Butterfly Gala, and it’s heat embossed in White onto a scrap of Basic Black card stock.

For all this card could have been called finished at this point, I felt it just needed a little something, so I through a bunch of Rhinestones on there, because, well, you can’t go wrong with a bit of sparkle can you?!

Watercolour fun with Butterfly Gala!

Today’s card was totally inspired by the ever talented Debbie Hughes. Debbie does wonderful things with Watercolour, and her cards are always stunning and her recent watercolour butterfly card is no exception. For all Debbie works with another companies products, I could just see Butterfly Gala in her creation, and so just HAD to give it a bash!

Shabby Chic Watercolour card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Each butterfly is stamped in Staz-on ink onto a panel of Watercolour card stock. Because of the texture I use my Stamparatus for this job so that I can repeat stamp and get a clear image. I think each butterfly took 3 or 4 goes to get as bold an outline as I wanted.

Then each butterfly was loosely watercoloured. A single colour for each butterfly, Melon Mambo, Blackberry Bliss and Blueberry Bushel, and some coloured splatter added over the top.

Then, once the watercolour was dry, I added an ink blended boarder of Crumb Cake ink around the piece with a sponge. I LOVE the texture this creates on the watercolour paper, so pretty!

To finish the sentiment, also taken from Butterfly Gala, is stamped onto a scrap of Blackberry Bliss card stock and heat embossed in White, some loops of Silver Metallic thread and a handful of sequins scattered across too.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 041 | Butterfly Gala Celebrations

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fabulous sketch, a love a sketch with lots of wiggle room for creative interpretation, and this is one of those sketches!

Inspire.Create.Challenge sketch challenge

Because it’s such an open sketch, and with my rather limited crafting time at the moment I have kept my card fairly simple as well.

I was hoping that the Butterfly Gala stamp and punch set would be back in stock when this post went live, however, they are I believe stuck somewhere in customs in Germany for a little longer.

Lets Celebrate You Handmade Card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up!

I am a huge fan of all things purple, in fact I had a friend at university who used to buy me things just because they were purple! This card uses a few ink colours (which you can find in the shopping list at the end of this post) to colour the butterfly wings. I love that this stamp set is also designed to a 2 Step Stamp; where the solid wings are also stamps for super fast colouring!

Celebration card using Butterfly Gala card from Stampin' Up!

While Butterfly Gala is a gorgeous stamp set, it didn’t have the right sentiment for this card. So I grabbed one of my current favourites; Itty Bitty Birthdays. Stamped in Highland Heather to match the card stock and Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper.

I would LOVE to see what you create with this sketch, do share what you make with it, and check out the other Design Team members creations over on the Inspire.Create blog

Inspire.Create.Challenge #035 | Just a note with Gingham Gala

I had a moment last week where I realised I am almost NEVER on time with my submissions for the challenge blog that I founded… until now! So, when I realised, I immediately ran up to my craft room and made today’s card with the items on my desk. I was prepping for my January Card Class (which was last night) and had made a heap of cards using the fabulous Gingham Gala suite and Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Inspire.Create.Challenges Stampin' Up! Challenge blog Cardmaking Sketch Challenge

This week’s challenge is a super simple sketch… share what you do with this over on the Inspire.Create Blog!

Handmade Just a Note card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been having loads of fun creating butterflies in different colours, coloured in different ways, and layering different stamps together to create different looks. This butterfly is stamped in Gray Granite, and then the solid colour of the wings is stamped with two separate stamps inked up with Highland Heather stamped off once. The sentiment was then stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in Gold over the top.

The butterfly was then die cut using one of the Stitched Shapes dies and layered with a piece of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and some of the GORGEOUS Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets (FREE) from Sale-a-bration.

Facebook Live | Butterfly Gala

I had SO much fun with the Brand New Butterfly Gala stamp and punch bundle on this mornings Facebook Live! I do a Facebook Live every Sunday… this week was a little rushed as I was also in the middle of icing a cake and prepping for a Sunday Roast for 10 people… but I didn’t want to miss my first Facebook Live of 2019!

This week I have been so inspired by the Butterfly Gala stamp set, particularly because it has a fabulous matching punch!

Hand made Butterfly Thank You Card  using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! for Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The first card I made this was was this simply stamped Thank You card, CASE’d from THIS CARD made by my lovely friend Verity! Verity made this card using Black card stock and ink, but I have to say I’m a much bigger fan of something a little softer (most of the time) and so swapped the Basic Black for Night of Navy. Check out the video for how I coloured those butterflies!

Facebook Live

Butterfly Gala is part of the Gingham Gala suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. I have a fun Launch Party taking place next weekend (with Make and Takes that I will share next week!), and a fun Card Class using the suite on the 22nd January too! I would LOVE to see you at my 2019 events

Tone on Tone stamping with Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The second card today was inspired by my other friend Jill, who made THIS CARD back in December. I loved the look of the Butterflies stacked on top of each other on Jill’s card, and just had to give it a StampinByHannah twist. Here the 6 butterflies are stamped Tone on Tone in 3 colours; Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Balmy Blue. I really love this soft look, not something that would be in my usual style!
