Butterflies to Soothe the Soul

Project Inspiration: Butterfly Thinking of You by Brenda Noelke

Project Inspiration: Raindrops by Bobbi Lemanski

Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

August 28, 2021      Papertrey Ink      6 Comments

Hello, Everyone! Welcome to Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Christmas snow globes made from mason jars are irresistibly cute.  Creating them from paper is a delightful way to mimic these cute pieces of Christmas decor.  Here’s how I created mine:

 

STEP 1:  Cut two medium jars.  One from Vintage Cream and one from Aqua Mist.  Create a snow effect by using the Mix and Mat:  Berry Boughs die with the Aqua Mist jar.  Adhere the two layers together followed by the gold lid.

STEP 2:  Die cut snow drifts from white glitter cardstock.  Adhere to bottom of jar and trim off excess.

STEP 3:  Die cut and stamp houses and trees.  Tuck in behind snowdrifts and adhere in place.  Tie a seam binding bow around top of jar.

STEP 4:  Cut Border Bling:  Lots of Dots from Vintage Cream and adhere to Aqua Mist base.
STEP 5:  Adhere a block of Bitty Big Sweet Blush paper to center of card.  Adhere mason jar to center.
STEP 6:  Die cut and stamp sentiment and adhere across bottom of jar.
STEP 7:  Embellish with adhesive gems and die cut snowflakes to finish.

 

 

 

 

STAMPS:  From Our Home to Yours
INK:  Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Hibiscus Burst, Autumn Rose, Prairie Grass, Simply Chartreuse, Olive Twist
PAPER:  Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist, Bitty Big Sweet Blush
DIES:  Scene Everywhere:  Winter, From Our Home to Yours, Spooktacular Kit, Splendid Snowflakes, Mix and Mat:  Berry Boughs, Border Bling:  Lots of Dots
OTHER:  adhesive gems, seam binding, Crystal Stickles, gold cardstock, silver and white glitter cardstock

Whenever I reach for the Garden Blessings Stamp Se Whenever I reach for the Garden Blessings Stamp Set, I know I’m about to create something that feels extra heartfelt. These garden-themed sentiments are perfect for encouragement cards, thank you notes, or for moments when you want to let someone know how much they mean to you. I’ve been mixing these sweet phrases with some of my favorite floral backgrounds and a touch of watercolor for a soft, blooming feel.🌸
