Fly away with Mary Poppins
Actually in my card Mary Poppins is sliding away on my ribbon slider card.
stamps/supplies: MFP saying Up, up..., Sizzix TH The Park die setI'm call this character Mary Poppins but, I guess, legally you can't name these dies because she is licensed by Disney. The die set is called The Park but she does make you think of Mary Poppins. Anyways I made an old favorite moving card that is a Ribbon Slider card.
Instructions:
1. Make any size card that works for you with a layer for the sliding character.
Postage cards
Having a play with Waffle Flower postage die.
stamps used: Unity stamp co. Sakura stamp setThis is a big stamp so one stamping, and it fills the postage stamp spots. I did masked off the sections with 1/4" strips of post it notes. I colored the flower in with Altenew stamp co. woodless watercolor pencils. I am really liking them ... think they are going to be my new go to coloring medium.
stamps used: Altenew stamp co. floral minimalism stamp setThe images in this stamp set filled in the postage stamp spots without any masking. Used my favorite go to ink from Catherine Pooler stamp co.
Will be adding the Sakura cards to Unity facebook show and tell page.
Thank you for stopping by. Come back soon.***not affiliated with the above companies ... just a happy customer***

More Butterfly split negatives
I tell you, I just can't get enough of this split negative technique. This Seraphim wings stamp from Unity stamp co. just works so well with this technique.
stamp/supplies used: Unity Seraphim wings, Catherine Pooler inksInstructions:
1. Cut one piece of white cardstock and one piece of colored cardstock the same size.
2. Place cardstock in Misti stamping positioner. Stamp butterfly with color inks on white cardstock. On colored cardstock use tone on tone color.
3. Cut each stamped butterfly cards in half or a bit more or less. You will have two pieces of stamped white card, and colored stamped card.
4. Add glue to a scrap piece of cardstock, then glue one of the pieces of cards with butterfly to half of it. Match up the opposite butterfly to the one that is glued to the scrap piece of cardstock. You should have a white card, and a colored card together to form the split negative image.
5. Next what I like to do is die cut out the split negative butterfly with a die shape. In this case I used Unity stamp co. deckle edge rectangles die set.
6. Adhere split negative piece to A2 card.
As you can see I cannot stop making this type of card. Maybe I should find another image. What do you think?I will be entering this card into Unity stamp co. challenge
Butterfly Split Negative
This is another technique that makes two for one cards. This is also an oldie but goodie technique, that I like to fall back into when I want to make multiple of cards.
Instructions:
1. Cut one piece of cream cardstock and one piece of colored cardstock the same size.
2. Place cardstock in Misti stamping positioner. Stamp butterfly with black ink. Do this for both pieces of cardstock.
3. Cut each stamped butterfly in half. You will have two pieces of stamped cream card, and colored stamped card. For my cards the piece are 2 1/2" x 3 3/4".
4. Cut piece 5 1/4" x 4" cream and color cardstock. Cut one of these piece in half and adhere to full 5 1/4" x 4" cardstock.
5. Adhere opposite color of halved butterflies to 5 1/4"x4" cardstock. Then layer onto A2 card.
Here are a couple more Butterfly Split Negative cards.
On this one I used pink cards and ink.
Meadow Reflections

stamps used: Altenew Meadow reflections stamp set, MFP stamp co. sayingInstructions:
1. Make a reverse circle mask.
