DO THE STEPS IN THE ORDER INDICATED SO YOUR EMBOSSING PASTE HAS TIME TO DRY!
Pick out the large, open, unattached butterfly die included in the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the peach Bloom Impressions Designer Paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Pick out the large, detailed butterfly die included in the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the Basic White Thick rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Use tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the backs of the wings near the center to lightly adhere the thick butterfly cut out to the center of the peach Bloom Impressions butterfly cut out.
Place the layered butterfly on the Silicone Craft Sheet to protect your work surface.
Use a Palette Knife to scoop a small amount of Shimmery White Embossing Paste from the container and spread it all over the layered butterfly getting the embossing paste into all the openings in and around the detailed butterfly stencil.
Tip: Clean your Palette Knife and Silicone Craft Sheet as soon as possible after using them so the embossing paste doesn't dry in place.
Carefully remove the detailed butterfly stencil. Set the stenciled, designer paper butterfly cut out aside to allow to dry.
Insert the pink and white clouds Everyday Skies Designer Paper rectangle into the embossing folder included with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder so the clouds design is face down (you can't see the cloud design when you can see the line and logo printed on the front cover of the folder). Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the designer paper inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed designer paper so the clouds side is face up to the front of the Peach Pie card.
Pick out the long, skinny, open label die included in the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the strip of Peach Pie Cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Butterflies Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "happy birthday" sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the long label cut out.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Petal Pink 3/8" Scalloped Ribbon so it has a sharp angle on either end.
Put a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive along the back of the stamped label cut out. Remove the protective backing and adhere the ribbon to the back of the label cut out so the ends stick out on either side.
If your stenciled designer paper butterfly cut out is dry, proceed with the next steps.
Put Stampin' Seal all over the back of the stenciled designer paper butterfly cut out. Adhere the cut out to the front of the card in the center.
Put a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive along the ribbon on the back of the stamped label cut out. Remove the protective backing and adhere the label cut out with ribbon attached to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the butterfly cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 small white sequins from a sheet of Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the ends of the label cut out on the card front as shown.
