I guess I am on a roll this week with the Gilded Leafing! I had some “bits and bobs” on my workdesk yesterday and decided to use some of them up by creating this card! I love our Gorgeous Grape color – it really is gorgeous!
Measurements:
- Gorgeous Grape: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
- Basic White: 4” x 5 ¼” (cut two – one for front panel, one for inside panel), 1 ¼ x 3 ¼, 4” x 5” for stamping/die cutting butterflies
- Vellum Cardstock: 3 ¾” x 3”
Instructions:
- Stamp the large Butterfly Brilliance stamp onto Gorgeous Grape cardstock with Gorgeous Grape ink.
- Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to crop out with coordinating Brilliant Wings die.
- Emboss one of the Basic White panels for card front – using the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere to card front.
- Adhere the Basic White panel to inside of card.
- Crop a large vellum butterfly with the largest detailed die.
- Spread a thin layer of Multipurpose Liquid glue around the edges of the largest Gorgeous Grape cropped butterfly.
- Press down into the Gilded Leafing – tip: place gilded leafing into a large container with a lid to keep it under control and for ease of use.
- Use a Stampin’ Sponge to brush away the excess Gilded Leafing – placing excess back into container.
- Use glue dots to attach the large butterfly, the vellum butterfly and a small butterfly together.
- Cut a strip of the Tulle ribbon in half width wise to create a narrower strip.
- Fold ribbon in half and use Stampin’ Seal to attach this to the back of the butterflies.
- Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp “Happy Birthday” onto word panel with Gorgeous Grape ink and use Paper Snips to “flag” the left edge.
- Adhere to card with Stampin’ Seal.
- To finish the card, add a Pastel Pearl to the butterfly.
I must admit, I wanted nothing to do with the Gilded Leafing when I saw it in our new January – June Catalog -but WOW am I glad I gave it a try! It truly is beautiful!!! I had fun creating the cards above!

I must admit, I wanted nothing to do with the Gilded Leafing when I saw it in our new January – June Catalog -but WOW am I glad I gave it a try! It truly is beautiful!!! I had fun creating the cards above!
I shared two projects on my Facebook Live yesterday – check them out on the video below!
For this first card, I used tear and tape to add some interest to my background. I used a bit of Tombo Liquid Glue on the wings of the butterfly to add the Gilded leafing to her wings. So easy and really not that messy!
Th photos don’t really do these justice – they are so much prettier in real life! The words come from the Many Merry Messages stamp set and coordinating Messages die. Be sure to watch the recording above to see some tips on how to use this awesome bundle!
I needed a quick birthday tag for a dear friend and made this tag – It looked pretty on a package wrapped with crumb cake wrapping paper!
Don’t be afraid to give the Gilded Leafing a try! I think you will find it somewhat addicting! I have!!!

Starting today Stampin’ Up! has released a brand new bundle of beautiful products – the Butterfly Brilliance Collection! The bundle consists of a stamp set and coordinating dies – Butterfly Brilliance, plus there are two specialty papers. The Bundle will appear in our upcoming Annual Catalog to be released in early May. The beautiful specialty papers are only part of the early release – they won’t be appearing in the next catalog – and are available only while supplies last. I recommend that you get two packs at least for your stash! I know I will be ordering several for myself!
I created the card above to show a way to use little scraps of Designer Series Paper – we all have our scraps, right? Just adhere the strips to a shape – in this case I used a circle – and them trim the edges. My butterflies were cropped from one of the pieces of DSP – you can actually use the largest die in the set and crop six butterflies at the same time! You can see three more of the cropped butterflies in my second card below. I LOVE the coordination of the dies and the dsp! A match made in heaven, and it sure makes for an easy way to create a stunning card!
I shared two projects on my Facebook Live yesterday – check them out on the video below!
This next card is one that is very similar to something we were making a few years ago – I call it a slit card. To create this card, use the Classic Label punch to create a slit, and adhere the butterfly bodies to the inside of the card – when the card is open, the wings go through the slit and the butterflies appear on the inside of the card. A fun way to switch things up a bit!
This is such a fun card to make, and really quite simple! I used Smoky Slate ink to stamp the stamp set onto my card front – it is such a pretty stamp and stamps beautifully! The words I used are from the Here’s a Card stamp set -a great set of various words!
Here’s a peek at the inside of the card:

My Facebook Live Take 2 featured two more cards made with the Lots of Hearts Bundle. The first, above, was a card with the front panel die cut – with the long strip of heart die. I took the hearts that popped out of the die, and placed them on the inside of the card – just for fun! It makes the outside look nice – and a fun surprise on the inside of the card!
A Facebook Live with Lots Of Heart!
One in a Million! Two of My Top Picks Combined!
Here’s a close up of the front of the card, and a look at the inside of the card with all the hearts. I did stamp a greeting on the inside of the card, just didn’t get a picture of that. The hearts are so cute!
When you use the die with all the hearts, you get the solid hearts that I used on the card above, and you also get little outlined shaped hearts, as shown below. They are so cute and I sure didn’t want to throw them away – so I put them on a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine – and made a “clothesline” of hearts. The little bird die seemed like a good addition to the card front – as if she is pulling the string of hearts along.
I used just a tiny drop of Liquid Glue to hold the hearts on the line, and attached the ends of the Baker’s Twine with glue dots. Two sweet little cards – fun to create and fun to send to brighten someone’s day!
