Beautiful Butterflies ~ Fun Fact Friday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Fun Fact Friday /

Have you ever been to the Butterfly House in St. Louis, Missouri? If not it is certainly a worthwhile adventure. The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, a part of the Missouri Botanical Garden, is a popular attraction in St. Louis known for its lush, tropical conservatory filled with free-flying butterflies and diverse insect exhibits. It features a 8,000 square foot glass conservatory with nearly 2,000 butterflies from around 80 species. The facility also includes an insect zoo, classrooms, a theater, and a seasonal native butterfly garden. So next time you are in St. Louis, check it out because you just might see the butterfly in today’s card there. LOL

For today’s card I started with a Pretty Peacock card base. I cropped the butterfly from the bundle in both Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock cardstock.
To the 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Very Vanilla CS, I used the round stamp from Elements of Text and stamped it in the middle w/Pretty Peacock ink. I used both splatter stamps and stamped some images in full color while other images I stamped off. I used a Blending Brush to add some Crumb Cake ink around the words and the edges of the panel. I stamped the greeting from Grateful Blessings w/Pretty Peacock ink and added it to the card front. Before adding the butterflies, I added some bling to the Very Vanilla butterfly. It is probably difficult to see, but I used liquid glue to add the Pretty Peacock butterfly and then attached the Very Vanilla butterfly only at the body, leaving the wings unattached.

I hope you enjoy creating this card and if you ever visit St. Louis, I strongly encourage you to check out the butterfly house at Botanical Gardens. If you love butterflies, you won’t regret it. Happy Stamping.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

#214 Coneflower Tiles ~ Make It Monday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos /

Coneflowers are very popular in the Midwest because they are native to prairies and open woods. Now I for one do not have a green thumb, but because coneflowers love full sun, they are pretty easy to take care of and they are drought resistant. So if you are like me and forget to water them, they will probably still survive.

Today, I am using featuring cards that I created using the Coneflower Celebrations bundle. No water needed, but a little bit of liquid glue will go along way in creating the tiles for our backgrounds.

A Closer Look

I love that the coneflower stamp is so big. I am sure it would make a great background for a scrapbooking page. I love the look of the Lemon Lolly with the Azure Afternoon. Have fun playing around with different color combos! Happy Stamping!

Thankful for Flowers-Fun Fact Friday

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Stamping Techniques, Thank You /

Hey all today I am sharing a card with you that I created using the Layers of Beauty Bundle. The masks in this bundle make it super simple to add shading and look like a real artist. Shhhh don’t tell anyone that I am so very far from being that! But you will love this bundle because it is so super simple and look at the amazing results.

I started with a Blueberry Bushel card base and the next layer is one of my “Bubble Up” backgrounds. I showed this technique several weeks ago and I am still enjoying creating these soft backgrounds for a little “wow” on my cards. Click here if you missed that tutorial. The thanks is from Simply Said and along with the masks from the bundle, I used a blending brush with Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel to create my flowers.

Fun Fact

Did you know that bubbles for kids have been around for centuries! Depictions of bubble blowing, dated to around 1733, show children using pipes to blow bubbles, according to the Bubble Blower Museum website. The article goes on to mention that pipes and, later, wands were the earliest mass produced bubble blowers, with the earliest patents dating to the 1920s.

I remember doing bubbles with wands in my grandma’s backyard. Such fun and who knew that I would never grow up and am now using bubbles in my crafting! I encourage you to be a kid again and give this fun technique a try. I promise you will not be disappointed. Happy Stamping!
