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.

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

Around-It-All-Circle-Dies-Masculine-Birthday-Winter-Meadow-Stampin-Up

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.
