Today I have a tutorial post up on the CutCardStock blog as a part of their 2021 design team. I started making the layered butterfly and then decided to turn it into a greeting card. I really like how it turned out.

Materials Used:

Cut Card Stock
stamp
stamp block
tape runner
Cricut Maker
free SVG file
black ink
Distressed Ink
blending tool
Nuvo Shimmer powder
heat gun
adhesive

I used a Cricut Maker to cut the butterfly layers. I will list the free download file below.

How to Blend Ink

How to blend ink on a stamp.

I was recently asked to make a layered stamped card. Using a blended ink technique for the sentiment, I thought I would share my process here for how to blend the ink and then stamp it. I really like the subtle blend and it worked well as a background for my stamped sentiment. I am sure to use more ink blending in the future, how about you?

Materials:

stamping block
large flat stamp
water spray bottle
cotton swab
ink pads (I used 5)
card stock

Video Tutorial:

You don’t have to spritz with water but I think it helped with the ink blending. And the cotton swab technique is a lifesaver, I am so glad I stumbled upon that technique!

Finally, I cut out a square shape from my stamped image and used it on the card at the top of the post.

I have a post using a card kit on the ScraPerfect blog today.
