What an exciting day it is today in the Kitchen. Today is Kitchen Sink Stamps Day at STAMPtember over at Simon Says Stamp.
This year's set is entitled Butterfly Kisses and comes with three butterflies and a grand variety of wonderful sentiments to create cards for many different occasions.
You can purchase the set with or without matching dies, but remember that there is only a limited supply of both. Once they sell out, they will not be sold again by Simon Says Stamp or Kitchen Sink Stamps. Should you prefer SVG cut files instead of/or in addition to the dies, you can purchase them at Kitchen Sink Stamps for 99¢.
The first sample I am sharing today is a 5 x 7 inch scenic design which mixes images from Butterfly Kisses with another Kitchen Sink Set called Birch Trees. I have used the KSS SVG cut files for both the birch trees and the butterflies. I created the background clouds by dabbing on white acrylic paint with my fingertip.

For my second sample, I have created a slimline card with a Distress Oxide Ink blended background. On this card I combined images from Butterfly Kisses with a KSS set called Hydrangea. Again, I used the KSS SVG cut files for these images.

The blended background was created using Distress Oxide Inks by Ranger in the following colors: Shabby Shutters, Old Paper, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn. The background was this sprinkled with water and ironed dry. I then splattered the surface with gold metallic acrylic paint.
I thought I would also share a photo of how I keep my SVG cut files in alphabetical order in mini folders in magnetic closure boxes. I have three boxes of these! I love cutting these shapes with my Cricut Joy and stockpiling them in folders stamped and ready for piecing together in any way I choose.
