Summer Butterflies with Topflight Stamps

Summer is the season for sighting butterflies so I was inspired to use them as a card motif. I love the PaperArtsy stamps designed by Lynne Perrella and this lovely lady from set LPC043 fit the bill nicely.

I cut a mask to fit over the PaperArtsy stamp and then stamped a background image using Trio of Inky Butterflies from Crafty Individuals.

Eileen Hull July Blooms Shaker Card

Hello again Eileen Hull fans! This month the Inspiration Team is playing more with Eileen's new Sizzix releases – the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set with the Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits die set that will easily cut out the stenciled flowers. I have an additional project to share with you. 

Lisa Hoel for Eileen Hull - 2024 June Sizzix Collection Release  #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #EileenHull  #eileenhulldesigns  #sizzix #mymakingstory #TeamEileen #mysizzixstory

I had extra die cut white flowers from my vignette project and I couldn't let them go to waste! I decided to make a shaker card because who doesn't love an interactive shaker card? I also utilized the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set. Below you can see some "in progress" photos.

Flash back to the white flowers:
I spritzed white coffee filters with pearl mist and when dry, die cut several layers of flowers. I had some yellow flower stamens that I glued in the middle after poking a hole with a die pick. Easy!

For the card base, I used the lattice stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Glaze to create the pattern.


I used the flower stencil layers and the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool to decorate the shaker frame and background. The sentiment is stamped using Eileen's Wonderful World of Flowers stamp set.



Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.

Supplies used:

Eileen Hull Die Set - Painterly Blooms & Background 
Eileen Hull Stencil Set - Watercolor Flowers & Lattice 
Eileen Hull Stamp Sets - Wonderful World of Flowers

Distress Glaze - Peacock Feathers

July Blooms with Eileen Hull Sizzix Products

Hello Eileen Hull fans! This month the Inspiration Team is playing more with Eileen's new Sizzix releases – the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set with the Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits die set that will easily cut out the stenciled flowers. 

Lisa Hoel for Eileen Hull - 2024 June Sizzix Collection Release  #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #EileenHull  #eileenhulldesigns  #sizzix #mymakingstory #TeamEileen #mysizzixstory

I haven't used the stencil set for this project, but I definitely utilized the die set! The box for this vignette is the lid from the Slotted Treat Box Plus Die.

I'm a fan of Graphic 45 paper collections. The one I used here is the 8" x 8" Little Things paper pad.

The white flowers are all cut from coffee filters using the Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set. The handle is cut with the Treasure Box Die. I covered the side with paper embossed using Eileen's 3-D Crochet Mandala folder.

The lid of the Slotted Treat Box was the perfect size to fit the Graphic 45 image!
