I have a fun quick little mini card for you guys today. I am still enjoying using the Painted Harvest stamp set. The flowers in the set are sunflowers, which I love! They are such happy awkward flowers.
Painted Harvest
I love the layered look you get with this two-step flower! Th leaves and fern also can be used as layering stamps. The cool thing is that they also look great as stand alone stamps.
Mini cards are really popular right now! especially, with the 3×3 envelopes back in the Holiday Catalog. To make a mini 3×3 card you will need to cut your card stock down to 3 by 7. You will want to score at 3 inches on the long side. Then burnish the score line with your bone folder. Now you have the most adorable little mini card!
The colors used are Daffodil Delight and Rose Red. I don’t use Rose Red very often, but it is really a wonderful pinky red
The white layer is Glossy White. I stamped the Daffodil Delight layer then stamped the Rose Red layer. It takes a few minuets for the ink to dry on the Glossy paper
While the ink was drying, I cut a piece of Daffodil Delight to 1/2 inch. Then stamped the sentiment from Wood Words in Rose Red
The final touch was to add a little ink splatter in Daffodil Delight
You guys know I love to decorate my envelopes, so I used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper to add a little color to the envelope flap

Hi! guys, I’m back today with another set of monoprints. I am super excited to share these prints with you! I used the mono prints as backgrounds for butterflies and dragonflies! Such fun. I made these prints at the same time as the ones I shared earler this week. Actually, I used the same stamps for the printing process, Butterfly Basics. Then, I added some extras to the prints.
Butterfly Basics Stamp Set
This set is one of my all time favorites! As I mentioned, Sunday it was time to give it some love!!
Each print has its own unique feel. Yet all three work so well together.
The guilding and stamping on top of the prints give them an extra special feel
These prints were made very similarly to the original monoprints, used a Gelli Plate to create the prints.
The paper is mixed media paper and is taped with painters tape to create a border
The colors used are Pool Party, Crushed Curry, and Dapper Denim
The process is a layering of Gelli prints to create a depth of color and texture.
The Dragonfly is stamped in Dapper Denim. This is from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp set
This print is accented with stamping and guilding. After the print was completed, I added additional stamping to add even more texture.
Even more texture was added with glue and guilding. (mixed metal leafing)
The butterfly was guilded. I love using the multipurpose adhesive sheets for this process. It makes leafing so easy with die cuts
The colors are Dapper Denim, Pool Party, and Crushed Curry
This print is just two colors, Dapper Denim and Pool Party
There are a few leaves peeping through from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set.
The small dragonflies are from the Touches of Texture stamp set. They are stamped in Dapper Denim
Little secret, I originally was not going to use this print. It was a slight bit crucked. Then I thought. Add some guilding. So, I did…this led to the two prints above. Witch I love!
The two large dragonflies add a little extra special feel, especially with all the guilding in the background
If you would like to know more about the actual printing process check out this post! It explains the steps of the printing process. I didn’t want to repeat what I had just told you on Sunday! But, I sure did want you to see these beautiful prints.
