Yesterday on my Facebook Live I created four cards featuring the Beautiful Butterflies bundle. It’s so pretty!
If you’d like the measurements for these cards, they can be found on the FB Live recording!
The first card was made with a Fresh Freesia color palette. I also added some background details with a new stamp set called Elements of Cling – I love these kinds of stamp sets as they are a subtle way to add some interest to the layers of the card. I created the ring frame on this card by using two fo the Spotlight on Nature circle dies.
The second card is a fun layout – I cut down the front panel of the card and created a smaller flap. I used two of the Stylish Shape circle dies to agian create a frame. – I glued them together and adhered just the bottom to my card front.
I cut four of the small butterfly die cuts and adhered to on the front of the circle frame, and two on the back side – this makes the inside panel look complete.
My third card was a butterfly shaped card – just a fun card to make and send off to a friend! This bundle has become a favorite of mine and hope you will give it a try as well!

I created these during my most recent Facebook Live. I love the Frames and Flowers DSP package – and I used it on two of these cards. Combine it with the Poised Peony set and you have a perfect combo! Gorgeous colors and images! The words in the Poised Peony set are great as well!!
You can watch the replay here:

Here is the first card I created! It is super simple – I die cut a large circle from the Deckled Circle dies and placed it over a panel of Basic Beige cardstock. I used a Blending Brush with Lost Lagoon Ink to create the circle shape. Then all I had to do was stamp the large peony with Pretty Peacock ink, add my greeting and embellishments and I was done!

Next – this card features one of the MANY die cuts that are included in the DSP package. The tag is created with the Elegant Edge tag punch.

The third card also featured some of the die cuts from the dsp package. I added an embossed panel using the Distressed Tile embossing folder and a panel cut from the Perennial Postage dies.

If you love these projects, then I hope you will join us in August for my monthly Bingo/Crafting event! We have so much fun!!!

Today I am sharing a beautiful trio of cards featuring products from the new – Sketched Butterflies Bundle! The stamped and die-cut butterflies are all easy to work with and gorgeous. I create these during my most recent Facebook Live. You can watch the replay here:

Here is the first card I created! I love how the die-cuts set at a slight angle really show off the beautiful butterfly.

The second uses lots of white with texture and a nice pop of color with the butterfly and sentiment.

The little butterflies die-cut from the glimmer paper are perfect!
