Hello crafty friends of mine! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I’m so happy you’re here!
Today, I am sharing a post on the Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog! Come see it!


Have you picked out pumpkins for carving yet?? We have the cutest little local farm here that has a huge pumpkin patch that we love to go to every year! They have hay rides, corn mazes, and lots of treats! The kids just love going there!
This sweet girl on this card reminds me of my 6 year old daughter! I just HAD to make a card with her. She’s a digital stamp from Kinda Cute called “Girl with Wheelbarrow“.
I printed the image on 80# Neenah cardstock and then colored her in with Copic markers.







I finished the card off by adding some black cardstock and then patterned paper behind it!
I hope you were inspired by my post and I hope you’re having a great week so far! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! It really means a lot to me!
Xoxo, Amanda

It’s that time of year! Are you excited for Autumn or dreading it? Summer is definitely my favorite season, but I do love getting out the fall boots and sweaters!
My doggies are definitely happy it’s cooling down! It definitely looks like this cute little dog is having a blast in the leaves!
To make this card, I’m using the Kinda Cute Boy Raking Leaves digital stamp and my Copic markers!






I think this little duo turned out pretty stinkin’ cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great week so far!

For each of my Beach House cards, I am using the following products:
Beach House Add-On Stamps | Beach House Add-On Honey Cuts | House Builder Card Base | Salvaged Brick Background Stencil | Watercolor Lines Background Stencils
I’m going to make a different roof for each house! I’m die cutting the roof from the Beach House Add-On Honey Cuts.
For my first house, I’m using Scattered Straw and Frayed Burlap distress ink and oxide. I’m also adding E34 to the embossed parts.
For the 2nd house, I’m using Copic markers and a flicking motion to color in the entire roof. I am using E41, E42, E43, and E44.
For the last house, I’m using the Scattered Straw and Frayed Burlap again, but doing a lighter coat.
For the house bases, I’m also going to try 3 different techniques.
For the 1st house, I’m using the Salvaged Brick Background Stencil and Frayed Burlap distress oxide.
For the 2nd and 3rd houses, I’m using the Watercolor Lines Background Stencils and distress oxides.
I’m using the doors and windows that come with the House Builder Base for the 2nd and 3rd houses and coloring them with Copic markers.
Now I’m going to start stamping my images from the Beach House Add-On Stamps and coloring them with Copic markers. Click on any image to view it larger! For my “Welcome” sign, I’m using a paddle as my stick!
For my palm trees, I’m going to blend Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron distress inks on a piece of white card stock and then die cut my leaves. For the trunk, I’m using E50, E31, E23, and E55.
Now I’m ready to start adhering my cards together! The process is the same for each card, so I’m only showing one house below. I am using 3D foam squares and strips for items I want to stick out (such as the palm tree, bike, and tiki torches). I am using a glue pen for tiny things, such as the leaves on the wreath and the palm leaves. I am using double sided tape for the fence.


Here’s another look at the finished cards!
For my 2nd project, I created these shaker tags!
To make these tags, I am using the Tag Along dies from Heffy Doodle. I am using the same tag die to cut the acetate for my shaker portion so that it fits perfectly.
Next, I’m blending some backgrounds with distress oxides and stencils.



I’m stamping my images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then using my Copic markers to color my images.
I am adding “margarita salt” to the rim of my margarita using liquid glue and Frosted Sugar Powder from Dress My Craft. For my shakers, I’m using the Frosted Sugar Powder and Crystal Ice Cubes from Dress My Craft.


Here’s another photo of the finished tags!

Hello crafty friends! I hope everyone is staying happy and healthy!
I made this card before this terrible Coronavirus epidemic. Now, I’m posting it because we all need a little reminder of what’s to come after this is all over! (Or, if you’re like me, you are already treating yourself to a little online retail therapy!!)

To make this card, I started with creating my own street using a ruler and my Copic markers. I used T7, T6, T5, and T4 to create the street.

I used Antique Linen distress ink and this cloud stencil to create a neutral sky.

I stamped my images from the Sunny Studio City Streets stamp set and colored them in with my Copic markers. To keep a certain color palette, I used the same markers throughout all the stamped images.



I stamped my sentiment with Versamark Watermark ink and used white detail embossing powder. I used my heat tool to emboss the sentiment.

I cut the images out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to my card front with 3D foam adhesive.

Here are a few close-up photos!


Thanks so much for stopping by! Stay healthy!! Xoxo, Amanda
Hello crafty friends! I hope everyone is staying healthy!
I wanted to share this cute card I made using Heffy Doodle’s Hello Squeakheart and Purrfect Day stamp sets.

I’m using Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp all of my images.

I’m coloring in my images with Copic markers.







For my background, I’m using this brick background stamp and Hickory Smoke distress oxide. I’m also cutting a stitched border with a die and black cardstock.

I’m using 3D foam squares, strips, and glue to adhere everything to my card.

Here are a few close-ups of the finished card!

Hey crafty friends!! It’s time for a new card! There is quite a mix of products in this card! Check it out!

The first thing I’m going to do is make a window using Dress My Craft’s Window and Pocket Die. I’m using the Heffy Doodle Fancy Foliage stencil to create a pattern on my curtain.
I’m going to create a background using Heffy Doodle’s Sun Moon and Stars Dies. I’m also going to blend a background with some distress oxides and my blending brushes. I’m creating some very light stars with white distress ink and the Heffy Doodle Starfall Stencil. For my foreground, I’m using a brick stencil that I made myself and distress oxide.
I’m ready to stamp and color my Mama Elephant Book Worm images and my Good Reads sentiment!

After adhering everything to the card, it’s all done!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Til next time!! Xoxo, Amanda
