In July, I was blessed with a sneak peek of the new Creativity in Motion collection of animated stamps and was asked to create a few projects showing you how to use them. Today, I am sharing a scrapbook page I made with floating butterflies that were stamped using those animated images. I have also created a simple process video for you to enjoy so that you can learn some tips and tricks for creating your own Floating Butterfly layout.
When I first saw the Creativity in Motion collection, I honestly wasn’t sure if I would be able to use it. I have a condition that does not allow me to see certain dimensional art as intended which is probably why Van Gogh and Signac are two of my favorite artists.
These lenticular stamps are designed to work with the striped acetate sheets to create a image that appears as if it is moving. I recently created a slimline butterfly card showing how these images appear animated. If you missed it, you can view it here.
llen·tic·u·lar/lenˈtikyələr/ (adjective) images with an illusion of depth, or that appear to have the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles
As I opened up my box of goodies, I fell in love with these butterfly and dragonfly images. The distressed images with worn lines made them appear like little works of art. I just had to find a way to use them.
I decided to create a layout that was bright and full of fun♥, just like the photo, and went to town creating this playful page. In the video below, I show you how I created the texture paste background and heat embossed butterflies, and I give you a few tips and tricks for layering elements and aligning your foam letter stickers.
Not only did I use the butterflies from the Creativity in Motion bundle, I also used those adorable bright paper patterns and the Border Tab thin cut dies. The bright paper stack is full of all sorts of patterns you can use on your cards, scrapbook pages, and Cricut projects.
I chose to layer multiple pieces behind my photo to match the fanciful polka-dots and flowers on the girls’ clothes. Each piece was edged with black using our blending tools. This is the first time I have edged a paper with black ink and I am liking how it looks. I may have to try it again soon.
The journaling for this page is hidden behind the photo on a little card that I created using the Border Tab thin cut dies and stamp set. I also used this die on quite a few pages in my Disney album, but at the time the product was still “top secret”, so I couldn’t tell any of you what I was using. You can’t imagine how hard that was. I had quite a few questions asking me how I made those mini-album pull-outs and now you know.
To complete the page, I needed a title that wasn’t too bold or busy, yet matched these three cousin’s personalities, so I chose to use our Foam Alphabet along with my label maker and a sentiment sticker to create a phase that describes these three girls perfectly.♥
I hope that today’s project inspired you to try something new and look at the Butterfly Kisses stamp set in a whole new way. The Creativity in Motion Bundle is available at a discount during the month of September.
