Hello! Today I'm sharing 2 cards that were inspired by Meg Loven. These cards start with a black & white theme, and then have a pop of color added. I chose to use the color Shaded Spruce. I'll give you all the details and also a link at the end of the blog for supplies so you can create your own cards.

I used a SALE-A-BRATION item on my first card - the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper. See all the selections that are in this pack of 12" x 12" black, whites, & grays DSP:
Beautifully Penned DSP Item 156630 FREE with a purchase of $50
I used two sets of dies: Brilliant Wings Dies (to cut butterflies) and Stitched So Sweetly Dies (for the sentiments.
Stamp sets are Butterfly Brilliance and Biggest Wish. The two inks for butterflies and sentiment: Smoky Slate and Memento Tuxedo Black.
Card details
Paper measurements
- Card Base: basic white CS, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded at 4 1/4".
- Layer of Black CS: 5 1/8" x 3 7/8".
- Beautifully Penned DSP: 5" x 3 3/4.
- For Butterflies:
- basic white CS 6 1/2" x 5"
- stamp the butterfly stamp, Butterfly Brilliance, (it is one large stamp of 6 butterflies) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink
- die cut the butterflies with the large single die from Brilliant Wings Dies. This die cuts all 6 butterflies at once.
- die cut 2 of the smallest butterflies from the Brilliant Wings Dies using the Black Glitter Paper (153518) that's in the July-December (Holiday) Mini Catalog.
- Piece of white CS approximately 4" x 3" to stamp sentiment
I started with the black & white floral and blended some Shaded Spruce ink over the flowers.
I glued this panel onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, then glued that to a Basic White card base.
Use Butterfly Brilliance stamps and the Brilliant Wings Dies to stamp & cut the detailed butterflies.
Use the Biggest Wish stamps to stamp the sentiment; use Smoky Slate and Memento inks.
Die cut the sentiment using Stitched So Sweetly Die.
Use Shaded Spruce CS to cut 2 accent strips (3" x 1/2"). Stagger these and glue to card front. (If you have Spruce Satin Ribbon from 2020 Holiday Catalog, you can use that, as I did. But the card stock works just fine.)
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the sentiment over the strips of green CS.
Choose two of the butterflies that you've stamped & die-cut, and glue to the card front.
"Embellishments" - die-cut butterflies from Black Glitter paper. Also, Pastel Pearls that I've colored with the Stampin' Blends (alcohol-based ink pens). When you want to create embellishments that are color-coded to your project, use the Stampin' Blends to color pearls, rhinestones or other embellishments.
Glue the embellishments to card front.
Done!!

For the 2nd card I used the Buffalo Check selection from the Pattern Party 12" x 12" DSP. This is a large package of 48 sheets that you can get when your personal purchase or a party's total earns this as part of your Rewards points.
One side of every sheet is a black & white pattern. I chose to use the Buffalo Check.
Paper measurements for the 2nd card are the same as the 1st card. You can use some of the butterflies you've already die-cut for the 1st card, too. The same die set was used for the sentiment, but the die is one of the rectangles on this card. Again, color some pearl embellishments to finish off the card.
I hope you found some inspiration today. To see the supplies click
