Lili Of The Valley - Mindful Butterflies

 Good Morning

Great news!! Today is the launch of the new Spring polymer stamps from Lili Of The Valley, and they are all available in the store now. Yay!! To celebrate the launch day I'm sharing 2 cards made using the 'Mindful Butterflies' stamp set. The stamps are stunning and something slightly different for  LOTV. They are perfect for cards, book marks, journals, mixed media projects. For my samples I watercoloured them using distress re-inkers and shimmery paints. I hope you like them. 

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Mindful Butterflies-1

Mindful Butterflies-2

Here's What I Did & Used

The process was the same for both card, just different coloured inks and paper were used.

I trimmed down a piece of patterned paper to cover the front of a white DL card blank. The butterfly/flower images was stamped onto watercolouring card, then die cut into a rectangle and coloured with distress re-inkers. To add extra detail the butterfly and circles were painted with gold and purple shimmery paint. Once the paint was dry glitter was applied to the circles. 

The finished picture was mounted onto a scalloped rectangle cut from co-ordinating glitter card, then attached to the card front. To finish the card, I added the small pearls at the top and bottom of the design.

Lili Of The Valley - Floral Frame

 Hello everyone

To celebrate the re-release of the beautiful 'Circular Floral frames' digi stamps from Lili Of The Valley, which have now been made into a polymer stamp set under the name 'Floral Frames'. I recreated a card I made in 2021 using the digital version, the polymer stamp is a little smaller than the one I originally used, but just as beautiful. The flower frame includes lots of different messages which can be stamped inside or outside the frame. I used Copic pens to colour with. I hope you like it.  

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did

To start with I covered the front of a 6 x 6" card blank with some turquoise grungy paper leaving a slim border around the edge. I resized a digital sentiment I own and printed off onto colouring card. The beautiful flower frame was stamped over the top and coloured using Copic pens, apart from the flowers. The finished image was die cut using a decorative square die, and a piece of white card was glued to the back to give it extra support before adding funky foam. The topper was adhered to the centre of the card front. 

The floral frame was stamp out again onto colouring cardstock, and the flowers were coloured in and then fussy cut out. Glitter was added to each of the flowers, and added to the card front using foam pads directly over their counterpart on the main image. To finish the card I added several pearls around the frame.

Here's What I Used

A5 Polymer Stamp Set: Floral Frames

Digital Version:  Circle Floral Frames with Beautiful  Messages

Digital Sentiment - Spring Mix Of 32 Sentiments

Copic Pens: Flowers & Berries - V000, V12, V15, V17, RV10, RV14, RV21, Y17, BG10, BG11, BG13 / Leaves - YG01, YG03, YG17, YG23, YG63, YG67

Anyhow, for today's card I have chosen to use another of the cute Flower Gnomes and one of the free digital sentiments. I decided to create a CAS card and used Copic pens to colour him.

The sentiment was die cut into an indented square and the gnome was stamped to the left of it, then colour with Copic pens. White dots were added to some of the lettering using a white pens.

The completed scene was attached to a blue indented square mat and funky foam was added to the back to give dimension. The completed topper was mounted onto the centre of the white scalloped frame.

Lili Of The Valley - Magical Florals

Afternoon Everyone

I'm back with more sneak peeks of the new Lili Of The Valley springtime polymer stamps. As I mentioned yesterday the new stamps will be launching on Create & Craft TV on February 20th (time tbc), and then in their Etsy store soon after. The new designs include flower gnomes, florals, wreaths and Easter animals. In addition to the new brand stamps there is a lot of new sets all created from their digital counterparts, you're bound to spot a favourite set. To check them out go to the new stamp collections and click onto polymer stamps from the category list or click this link - A5 polymer stamps. Once the full launch has taken place I will add the respective links to the individual stamp sets for you. 

For today's card I have used one of the flower wreaths and a couple of sentiments from the 'Magical Florals' set. I used Copic pens to colour the flowers; many of which I coloured up again, fussy cut out and decoupaged. I adore the floral wreaths, they're so beautiful and suitable for lots of different occasions. I hope you like it. I'll be back tomorrow with more LOTV inspiration. 

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Online  Shop and the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to purchase the stamps. 

Here's What I Did

To start with I covered the front of a 6 x 6" card blank with some pretty pink paper leaving a slim border around the edge. 

The wreath and sentiment was stamped onto colouring cardstock and die cut with a decorative circle die. All the leaves and small flowers (lilac & pink ones) were coloured in using Copic pens. Funky foam was added to the back of the completed topper to give it some height, and then attached to the centre of the card. 

The wreath was stamped out again onto colouring cardstock, then only the mid and large size flowers (pink & aqua ones) were coloured in. The flowers were fussy cut out and added to the card front directly over their counterpart on the main image using shallow foam pads. To finish the card I added a little glitter to the flowers along with a few pearls around the wreath.
