As most people know I just love butterflies, so when I saw the beautiful Butterflies Thinlits Dies (#137360) in the new occasions catalogue which will be available from 6th January, I couldn't resist this set. There are 3 butterflies in the set with the butterfly on this card being the biggest - 11.1 x 8.9 cm.
A very simple card is all that is needed for this butterfly. I made the card 13x13cm so made an envelope to fit using the Envelope Punch board (#133774). The size I used for this from the punch board is for a 5" x 5" card using 8-1/8" square Whisper White cardstock (# 106549). This was the perfect fit for the card. I stamped butterflies from Kinda Eclectic (#c135350, #w135347) on the envelope, just inking the stamp once, but stamping 5 butterflies so each becomes lighter.
Now back to the card. I cut the butterfly from Red Glimmer Paper (#121790) which gives a lovely sparkle. I attached this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). Before I attached the butterfly, I embossed the top piece of the Whisper White card with one of the Delicate Designs folders (#127023). This piece of card was attached to a piece of Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). The sentiments are from the Petite Pairs stamp set (#c122497, #w128706) using Real red ink (#126949. The dots were done with the Real Red Stampin' Write Marker (#100052).
Today's tip.
For the gold foil sheet I cut a piece to the required size (12x12cm). Then I cut a square out of the middle leaving about 2 cm on each side. This is a way of not wasting the more expensive papers when you only want a small amount showing. The piece removed from the middle can be used for another card.
There are so many new products available in the upcoming Occasions catalogue so looking forward to sharing them with you in the New Year. Also Sale-a-bration starts on 6th January where you can earn free products by shopping, joining Stampin' Up! or hosting a party. Want more information? Just contact me, I am here to help you.
Till next time,
Happy Stamping!
