Celebrate Graduation using Linnie Blooms

Hi Bev here today... I needed a card for my Grand Daughters grade 5 Graduation as 

she heads of to middle school which is grades 6-8. Isn't that exciting.

Well I wanted something bright, fun and different to share with her on this special day.

Starting with the Linnie Blooms butterfly stencil I traced a butterfly and cut it out of white 

cardstock just slightly small than the base card size. I matted it with some fun bright and 

cute print paper from Simple Stories DIY Boutique which I then 

zigzag stitched around the outer edges.

I added a base border for a pop of colour.

I matted the whole thing again.

Tracing another butterfly from a darker floral print I accordian folded 

it and tied it off with twine... also added a twine flight path from the other butterfly.

The sentiment, small butterfly and "you did it" are SRM stickers.

Really quit simple but cute and she'll love the butterflies and

of course it's even more special when I custom make cards for them to keep.

And while I was making butterflies from the stencils I created this 

fab, fun and bright page using my newest paper line.

These super cute butterflies are so versitile and suit so many projects.. and so easy to make.

The butterfly added to the cluster is a perfect touch on this page... be sure to make

some of these yourself... you'll love them.

Summer Butterflies

Karen N here from Craftily Yours, and I am super excited to meet my Design Team Challenge this month with the Linnie Blooms Butterfly Mask.  Our team was asked to highlight the Linnie Blooms Stencils or Masks and show some summer fun.

Summer fun to me is getting some time to relax by the pool or at the boat.....and watch the butterflies go by.  I used some watercolor card stock and inked around the butterfly mask with Tim Holtz distress ink in Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord.

I used the Linnie Blooms Canvas Shape (Butterfly) and spritzed it first with Dragonfly Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  Then I sprayed it Dylusions White Linen through the Circle Confetti UmWow Studio stencil and used some MME enamel dots and some bling antenna!  Here's a close-up!

I added a little glimmer mist spritz to the white twine......and I used my NEW Zutter Distrezz-It-All tool to really distress out the edges!

The patterned paper is from Prima Marketing (All About Me), and the color cardstock is AC.

Wishing you lots of butterfly dreams this summer!

Stenciled Infinity scarf

Good Monday Morning everyone. Today, I am here with a project inspired by Pinterest. I saw this post on Pinterest on how to turn a t-shirt into a cool stenciled infinity scarf.  My first thought was the cool stencils that Linnie Blooms has.  On first scarf, I used the the Butterfly stencil and mask. Then I used the stencil as a mask and stenciled a pattern on the butterfly!

The second scarf,  I used the Flutter stencil and mask. Again I used the Flutter stencil (the bird) as a mask and stenciled a pattern on the bird. 

Look, How fun, cute and cheap these are!!!! I used some old t-shirts I had laying around the house. Another great gift idea you could make in about an hour. If you make some of these t-shirt stenciled infinity scarves , I would love to see them.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, K
