Quick & Easy Botanical Butterflies Cards

The Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper is so lovely…have you seen it? It's a Sale-a-Bration selection, so you can get it for FREE when you place a $50 order.

I love that it has beautiful, full-color butterfly and floral patterns on one side and black & white geometric and butterfly patterns on the back. The colors match the Gingham Gala suite of products and the images coordinate with the Butterfly Gala Bundle. It's like a coordination-apalooza! I can't resist items that work so perfectly together! There are SO MANY POSSIBILIES!

Because the DSP is so awesome, you can create a simple card in minutes (which makes it ideal for my 20-Card Party…LOL!)

Background Basics—I started with a 3" x 4" piece of my favorite "wildflowers & butterflies" pattern from the Botanical Butterflies pack. I specifically designed the card to use this size because you can get 12 pieces from one sheet of DSP, making it easy to create a whole stack of cards! I think this design would make a lovely gift set of cards! I adhered the DSP onto a 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" piece of Basic Black cardstock. Next, I tied some of the Grapefruit Grove Organdy Ribbon from the Combo Pack, another Sale-a-Bration selection, around the layers into a double-knot. The complete background is mounted onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base.

Sweet Sentiment—I punched out a Whisper White circle using the 2" Circle Punch, then stamped a greeting from Beauty Abounds on it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. You could use any sentiment here. I layered it onto a Basic Black Starburst Punch cut-out and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Pretty Butterfly—The butterfly is straight from the DSP, too! There is a pattern on one of the double-sided sheets that is filled with colorful butterflies that fit inside the Butterfly Duet Punch! Too Cool! I'll be sharing a tip on how to maximize your butterflies from that paper on tomorrow's Tip of the Week and I'll show you LIVE on my Facebook LIVE Event on Thursday at my Too Cool Stamping VIP Group page.

I attached the butterfly with Glue Dots in the center and bent the wings up. I finished by adding a single Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequin in blue.

Two Cool—The second version starts with a Grapefruit Grove card base. Everything is the same measurements, I just tried a horizontal design this time.

Circle Décor—This sentiment is also from the Beauty Abounds stamp set. I featured a different color butterfly from the same DSP and a different color of sequins from the same embellishment pack.

OK, time to go make more of these in Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather! Wheeeeeee!
