Butterfly Basics from Stampin’ Up!

February 18, 2015 By Michelle Last

I made a card for this weeks sketch challenge using the new Butterfly Basics stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the matching framelit dies.  I don’t normally use blue hues but I love the way it turned out.  Blue is a good description of my mood at the moment as we are having building work and it is getting close to the end and very intense, if you scroll down you will see what I mean………….

Butterfly Basics for Stamping&Blogging Sketch

I used the Night of Navy Designer series paper stack for the spotty background and then stamped the lovely modern leaf image from the Crazy About you stamp set.  And can you believe this is the first time the butterfly has been inked up from the Butterfly Basics stamp set!

Butterfly-Basics from Stampin Up

I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder (the sentiment is from Butterfly Basics also).  I made a fancy edge on the sentiment strip using part of the apothecary accents framelit too.  Pretty quick and simple but just what was needed.

Here is the sketch I used –

Stamping&Blogging #92

And here is what the other ladies made this week using the same sketch –

Sandi MacIver -USA

Amy Koenders – USA

Lee Conrey – USA

Claire Daly – Australia

Caroline van der Straaten – Netherlands

Marine Wiplier – France

Shelagh Freemantle – Canada

Kerstin Kreis – Germany

Patrice Halliday – Larsen – New Zealand

And here is why I am feeling a little blue…………
My House at the moment!

I know it will be worth it, just in that awful phase of dust and dirt everywhere and no kitchen facilities but hopefully no long now..

    HI Michelle
    Love how your hob is being held up with a workmate, must make cooking an adventure. Is that Pippi in the background?
    Hope it gets finished soon and you lose the blues.
    Love Linda

Michelle Last - Card Making
How about some Cactus Cuties to brighten someone’s day? I love how the little step makes the plants stand out from the embossed brick background. I loved making this card and adding a sponge edge to the cactus for extra depth and dimension. All supplies are from my Stampin Up shop, let me know if I can help x

This wonderful group of Dutch Stampin’ Up demos This wonderful group of Dutch Stampin’ Up demos are truly wonderful. I’ve spent the last three days spending time with them, getting to know them better and meeting some for the first time. They are the most warm, friendly and welcoming bunch and it has been the best feeling to gather together in person with them after so long. Spending time with crafters, customers and demonstrators is the best part of my job and I have friends from all over the world. My heart is full ♥️ #ShareYourMoment #bestjobever #stampinup #michellelast #stampinupnederland #pinkies #stampinupdemonstrator #blessed
