Today Im sharing one of the gorgeous stamp sets released this month from Streamside Studios

This beauty is called Fairy Bee-autiful Day and its filled with so many images and sentiments.

To make this card

Start by die cutting a rectangle from white card stock.

Use a stencil of your choice. I used a pretty floral one that I inked up using mowed lawn, scattered straw and wilted violet oxide inks.

I coloured the fairy in copics and attached her with foam tape.

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of white card stock, trimmed and attached with foam tape.

I finished my card by gluing my panel to a white card base and adding a few sequins and gems.

Rainbow Tags

This month Rubbernecker Stamps has there design team focusing on all the awesome background stamps they carry.

This is definitely my favourite company for background stamp choices. From florals to stripes and everything in between there is so many to choose from. And with so many uses for background stamps It’s one of those craft room items that I always invest in.

Heres the steps to create these rainbow inspired tags. I even pulled out my long and forgotten flocking powder for these pretties.

Die cut tags from patterned card stock, if thin paper die cut a tag from white card stock and glue the patterned tag to the front.

Emboss background stamps on white card stock with white embossing powder,  Die cut tags from the embossed background.  You will get 2 tags out of each back ground stamp using the second largest tag.

Ink blend a rainbow on the tags and wipe excess ink off.

Hole punch or use the die for the hole.

Die cut 2 part butterfly.

Cover bottom part of butterfly with glue and cover with flocking powder, leave the center part of the butterfly plain.

Cover top part of butterfly with shimmer pen, attach rhinestones to antenna and glue to the flocked butterfly.

Stamp and cut sentiments

Add gold thread to tag and attach butterfly on top, add sentiment, add rhinestones and sequins, finish with ribbons.

For my first card I started with a white card base and added a stencilled panel on top that I inked with wild honey distress oxide ink as well as a sentiment heat embossed on it.

I finished the card with bootiful tulip propped up on foam tape.
