Hello Crafters!
Today I want to show you how I create this tag using products from Ann Butler’s line.
Products I used are :
I started by using the Colorbox® Art Screens Lattice as stamp. To do so, I simply covered the stencil with Colorbox® Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler Limelight and spritzed over a bit of water to let the color became a bit watered down. Then I simply turned over the stencil and used it as it was a stamp.
To add some more interest I used the same color with the stamp Colorbox® Background Basics by Ann Butler Diamond1 trying to cover the spots where I didn’t use the stencil. I let it carefully completely dry then I applied modeling paste through the Colorbox® Art Screens Lattice and set aside to dry.
While the paste was drying I used clay to make the frame– I of course used a mold to create it! I set aside to dry (it took less than 15 minutes over the heater) and then I colored it using the same Colorbox® Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler Limelight.
The sentiment is a die I had in my stash, I used the Colorbox® Background Basics by Ann Butler Diamond1 and Colorbox® Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler Aquamarine to add some stamping, then with a brush and the same color I added some more color where the stamp didn’t came out perfect (this only because I stamped the sentiment over a non flat surface…smart me! lol).
Then I assembled everything and I put a small photo into the frame and glued everything together. As final touch I used a black pen to draw some lines around the tag.
I hope you like this tag and that you have a great day!
Stay happy, stay creative…till next time!
Hey crafty friends, Einat Kessler here with a new project! ’tis the season to be jolly…and make Christmas cards. Time is short and there are many cards to make so I’ve come up with a design that will be beautiful, festive but also fast.
Start by arranging all of Ann Butler Designs 2″ Faux Quilting stamps on an acrylic block. Squares and triangles will create a more detailed pattern. Then stamp on white cardstock with Ann Butler Designs Limelight Crafter’s ink by Clearsnap a few times to cover a large area. If you only have a few designs then simply stamp and repeat to cover more paper surface. Cut out three different sizes of triangle tree shapes.
Create a sky background on a white card base with Ann Butler Designs Aquamarine Crafter’s Ink and Aruba Ink by Clearsnap by using a sponge. Attach the trees to the card with foam tape, slightly overlapping to create movement.
Draw little stars on the top of each tree with Ann Butler Designs Art Screen and color with Ann Butler Designs Sunshine Crafter’s Ink. I also add some rays of light around each star. Finally I added Merry Christmas with a black pen.
In order to make a few cards simply cut more triangles and attach to your cards. Then add the stars, a title and you’re ready!
Have fun creating!

Hello, lovely people! Heather here with my first post for the design team. Today I have anUgly Christmas Sweater Card Video. Below will be some pictures and my supplies I used as well as a link to my video. For more details on how I made this card click the link below to my video. I hope you all enjoyed this card and thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day.
I used:
Here is a picture of the card front.
And a picture of the inside of the card.
Thank you for joining me today. Please don’t forget to give me a Thumbs Up if you enjoyed my video.
Ann Butler’s Faux Quilting stamps come in two sizes: 1” and 2”. So if you are lazy like me and find a great patterned paper with 1” or 2” grids, you can make a very similar card in no time.
This pink paper is from American Crafts and I just used the grid to stamp inside with Ann Butler’s ColorBox Crafter’s ink in Berry from Clearsnap using then Clearsnap Clear embossing powder.
I made the stamping randomly and used one single stamp square.
I added the sentiment in the spare squares and some wooden hearts (inked with the very same Berry ink) around.
Actually the card was done. So easy and fast and lovely.
And if you don’t have grid paper, just make your own with a ruler and colored pen or marker.
This tag is really easy to make. First cover the tag with Ann Butler’s Crafter’s Ink in Tangelo. Use a circular motion and a sponge to create a uniform look. Make the edges of the tag a little more bold by applying more ink.
Then arrange some of Ann Butler’s Designs 1″ Faux Quilting stamps on an acrylic block. To create the mansion I arranged the squares in a building shape but slightly tilted to give it more of a crazy Halloween look. Once you are happy with the arrangement stamp the tag with black ink. Trace all the shape with a black pen.
Add a little of the same Tangelo ink on a piece of scrap white cardstock and then cut out a few windows and a door. Add details with a black pen. I also added a few more details like the spider web and the spider as well as a little balcony and a chimney. I also drew bats flying around. Finally, I wrote the word Halloween in ghostly letters.
This tag can be part of your Halloween decorations, a party favor, a Trick or Treat bag topping etc. The options are endless. Have a Happy Halloween!

For this project I will be using the following for the card with matching envelope:
I cut my card to size and I created my own patterned paper using the EZ-DE’s Rail Fence Set A , it is so easy to create patterns using Ann Butler’s stamps.
I used ColorBox Crafters Ink by Ann Butler in Tangelo to create my main pattern and then to color my ceramic heart I used a mix between Tangelo and Berry.
I also added few splashes of Berry here and there just to give a subtle hint of the color.
I let it dry as I created my envelope.
I wanted to match the card, so with the same ColorBox Craters Ink Tangelo and the same stamp from the EZ-DE’s Rail Fence Set A I stamped the front of the envelope.
This is a really quick and easy way to spice up your letters with cards and matching envelopes!
See you next time!

To create this card I used :
I cut the base of the card to be 4 1/2” x 4 1/2” then I cut another piece of card stock to be slightly smaller than my base. I smudged a bit of the Crafters Ink over my craft sheet and I added a bit of water. With a brush I dipped the color and flickered some drops of ink here and there.
Then I used one stamp from the EZ-DE’s set, the heart strip one and with the same Blueberry Ink I stamped it twice. I set it aside to let the ink dry, meanwhile I took one stamp from the Faux Quilting Stamp set and stamped over another piece of white cardstock.
I like to create my own patterned paper especially with this stamp! I think it is one of my favorite!
I grabbed a small tag I had in my stash and added some color (it was kraft color) with the ink that was left over my craft sheet.
I cut to size the patterned paper that I created and stitched it to the small tag.
I stitched also all around my card base and then I adhered everything together.
The sentiment is stamped with the same ColorBox Crafters Ink by Ann Butler Blueberry.
I really like this simple card, and I love how the patterns all works together!
What about you? Do you like stamping your own patterned paper?
I hope you will like this card, stay happy stay creative, till next time!

Hey crafty friends Einat Kessler here with a new project! I created a special birthday card for a special little girl as part of a volunteer project I’m in Making birthday cards with sick kids. This card is simple and easy to make so all those sick kids can make it themselves.
I started with a piece of white cardstock as my base. I tool a wet brush and dipped it in Ann Butler’s Crafter’s Ink By Clearsnap. I loaded the ink on the brush and painted a thick strip on the white cardstock. I used different colors to create a rainbow effect. If you use different brush width you can change the size of the strip.
Then I used the same ink to stamp a piece of white cardstock with Ann Butler’s 1″ Quilt stamps by Unity. I used a star shape punch out the shapes and added them to the card with a little piece of foam tape. I used different stamps to create the different a pattern on each star.
Finally I added the white cardstock piece to the front of my card with more pieces of foam tape and wrote happy birthday. You can write whatever you want on a card like this it is so versatile!
Thanks for stopping by and have fun creating!
