Butterfly garland card

We’re nearly at the end of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration and you’ll need to get in quick if you’d like the beautiful Botanical Butterfly designer series paper (DSP) used on this card before it’s gone for good.

The front of the card looks like a normal, every day card with the pretty Botanical Butterfly DSP.

However, the inside of the card is where it becomes a bit more interesting.  Upon opening the card you see a pop-up garland of butterflies floating across the middle of the card.

I punched out the butterflies using the Butterfly Duet Punch from one of the Botanical Butterfly DSP sheets to create the garland in the middle of the card for added interest (inspired by Jessica V. Lin).  There are 12 double sided sheets of paper in the Botanical Butterflies DSP pack which is free and only available until 31 March (or while stock lasts) with an eligible $90 order.

The products used to make this card are all available in my online store.  I hold classes each month if you'd like to learn card making - please contact me for further details if you live in Melbourne, Australia.  Private classes for you and your friends can be arranged for local crafters.

How pretty is the Stampin' Up! Wonderful Romance suite with its floral vellum papers and decorative framelit dies.

Diagonal butterfly cards

I used the beautiful Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to create both of these cards.

There are 12 double sided sheets of paper in the pack which is free and only available until 31 March (or while stock lasts) with an eligible $90 order.  Instead of cutting the paper in a standard rectangle, I thought I'd add some interest and cut it on an angle.  I used the Celebrate You and Wonderful Floral framelit dies to create a focal border on each card.  The butterflies are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and co-ordinating Butterfly Duet punch which are available individually or as a bundle with 10% off the RRP.

If you like this style of card, you may also like this version from a few years ago.
