Cut card stock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Bermuda Bay Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Calypso Coral Card Stock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Bermuda Bay Card Stock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Calypso Coral Card Stock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 1" x 2" from Mint Macaron Card Stock
Place the Bermuda Bay rectangle into the Fluttering Embossing Folder so the butterflies are running horizontally across the card stock. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the butterfly embossed Bermuda Bay rectangle to the large Calypso Coral rectangle and then to the front of the Bermuda Bay card.
Adhere a Mint Macaron doily from the 2015-2017 In Color Doilies to the center of the butterfly embossed rectangle so it is about 3/8" from the top.
Mount one of the tie dye swirl images from the Tie Dyed Photopolymer Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the white rectangle so the right edge of the swirl is near the center of the rectangle. Ink the stamp up again, rotate it 180 degrees from the previous position, and stamp it on the other side of the white rectangle. This time the left edge of the swirl should be near the center of the rectangle.
Mount the next tie dye swirl image from the Tie Dyed Photopolymer Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the white rectangle so it fills in some of the space in the first stamped image. Ink the stamp up again, rotate it 180 degrees from the previous position, and stamp it on the other side of the white rectangle filling in some of the space in the first stamped image.
Mount the final tie dye swirl image from the Tie Dyed Photopolymer Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the white rectangle so it fills in more of the space in the previously stamped images. Ink the stamp up again, rotate it 180 degrees from the previous position, and stamp it on the other side of the white rectangle filling in more of the space in the previously stamped images.
Pick out the large open butterfly framelit from the Bold Butterfly Framelits. Place the tie dye stamped white rectangle on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the Bold Butterfly Framelit on top so the center of the images is centered in the butterfly. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Place the smaller Calypso Coral rectangle on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the Bold Butterfly Framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Cut the Calypso Coral butterfly cut out in half down the middle. Adhere the halves behind the tie dye butterfly so just a bit of the Calypso Coral peeks out on each side.
Cut a 4" piece of Linen Thread. Fold it in half. Adhere it to the center back of the butterfly using an edge of Stampin' Dimensionals so that the open edges are pointing up as antenna. Trim ends.
Add additional Stampin' Dimensionals edge pieces to the center of the butterfly if needed and adhere the butterfly to the center of the doily.
Cut one of the connected strings of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to 9 jewels long. Adhere it to the center of the butterfly.
Mount the "thank you" sentiment from the All Things Thanks Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small strip of Mint Macaron Card Stock.
Pick out the small rounded end banner framelit from the Bunch of Banners Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the banner framelit on top so the sentiment is centered inside it. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment to the center of the card front below the butterfly and doily.
Put a small Calypso Coral circle from the Subtles Enamel Shapes on either end of the banner.
