Shaped Butterfly Card using the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle which includes a stamp set, dies, and a hybrid 3D embossing folder. This bundle makes some different and really cool cards. The one I decided to make has the butterfly opening up as a flap on the front. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurement and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Shown here is the front view of the card. The green butterfly paper is an ombre glimmer paper. The card base is an 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock folded in half. The butterfly was cut and embossed at the same time with the 3D embossing folder. The black wings were adhered on top.

Side view-notice the dimension of the butterfly.

To cut the front piece, start with a 5 1/4" x 8" piece of Basic white scored at 4". Lay the die on this piece with the guidelines on the die lined up with the score line.

In this picture you can barely see the score line, but the registration lines on the die are very obvious. Those are the marks you line up with your score line.

This is what it looks like after it is cut.

After I cut it, I embossed it with the 3D embossing folder.

I painted the inside with a Wink of Stella.

This is how I completed the inside. All sentiments and images are from Beautiful Butterflies.

The sentiment was placed so the butterfly's wings would lock in place behind it.

I hope you will give this card a try. To download your free tutorial, just click on the box below.

Masculine Birthday Center Flap Card with the New All Around It Dies

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm hopping with a talented group of Stampin 'N Hop demonstrators. Our theme is patterned paper and the card I'm sharing is a masculine birthday card made with the All Around It Dies and Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper. I have a link for a free tutorial below and also a video demonstrating the construction of this card from beginning to finish.

The base of this card is a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic Gray cardstock. On this piece I adhered 1" x 5 1/4" strips of designer series paper from the Winter Meadow pack.

The center piece is a 10 1/2" x 2 3/4" piece of Basic Gray folded in half and adhered to the center of the card front. A 2 1/2" x 5" piece of Smoky Slate, that has been embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder, was adhered to the this piece. 

A circle was cut from Basic Black with the 5th from largest die from All Around It dies while also cutting the smaller circle out of the center of this piece with the 3rd from smallest die. The trees were cut with the die from Grassy Grove out of Basic Black and adhered to the section of the Winter Meadow paper next to the deer. This piece was then cut with 6th from the largest die from All Around It dies. This piece was adhered to the Basic Black circle and adhere to the card front.

The inside was stamped on a piece of 5" x 2 1/2" piece of Basic White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  

I hope you will give this card a try. To download your free tutorial, just click on the box below.

Next In-Person Classes and a Sneak Peek at Some New Products

Hello and welcome to my blog! The holidays are, sadly, almost over and it's time to start back to card classes. My In-Person Classes will start Sunday, January 5th and continue that week. I'll be introducing some new online exclusive products and products from the new Mini Catalog.

Class cost is $25 or free with a $35 order. You will make 3 cards and receive envelopes and printed instructions. The schedule and openings are as follows.

Sunday, January 5th at 2:00  5 openings

Monday, January 6th at 12:00 This class is full.

Thursday, January 9th at 12:00  3 openings

Thursday, January 9th at 5:00  6 openings

Let's take a look at the lovely cards you will make.

This first card is made with the unique Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing folder (it cuts and embossing at the same time), stamp set and dies. We also have new glimmer paper called Pastel Ombre Glimmer in blues, lavenders, and yellow/greens.

This is the very front cut with a unique die that cuts on the fold.

Check out how the embossing folder embosses the whole front piece.

The inside

The next card is made with Happy Hibiscus Bundle, which is also a hybrid set found in our Online Exclusives.

And the third card is made with a new circle dies set called Around It All Dies. The circles are described at abstract, irregular circles as you can see by the shapes. I used the Winter Meadow Designer Series paper for the deer.

Some of the supplies I used are available now, but the others won't be available until January 7th.

Let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in attending so I will have supplies cut for you. Contact me if you would like to discuss receiving kits for these cards.

Hope to hear from you! (PS I had a routine colonoscopy today and my head still isn't clear, so excuse any typos!)
