S imple, pretty card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Misty Moonlight or Just Jade Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2 butterflies cut from sheet of large butterflies on white background design from Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 1/2" x 4-3/4" cut from side edges of sheet you cut the large butterflies out of from Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, you are just using the watercolor wash side of the design in yellows and greens or blues and pinks depending on the color of the butterflies you are using
- 2-1.2" x 4" from Basic White Cardstock
Insert the large white rectangle into the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed white rectangle to the front of the Misty Moonlight or Just Jade card depending on the color of butterflies you are using.
Pick out the large, open, interconnected butterflies die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. Place the die on top of the Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the butterflies. Run through the machine.
Note: You are using the large green or blue butterfly cut out and the small yellow or pink butterfly cut out on this project. Keep all the other butterfly cut outs to use on other projects. Keep the square of designer paper you cut the butterflies out of for use on the next step.
Cut a 1/2" wide strip of designer paper from the side of the designer paper square you cut the butterflies out of. Cut so you get the green and yellow watercolor wash design if you are using the green and yellow butterflies. Cut so you get the blue and pink watercolor wash design if you are using the blue and pink butterflies.
Cut the 1/2" wide strip of designer paper down to 4-3/4" long.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the designer paper strip into the left side of the punch (the side of the punch with the outward notched top) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat with the other end of the designer paper strip.
Mount the "it's your day! Enjoy It" sentiment from the Happiest Of Birthdays Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight or Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white rectangle.
Pick out the label die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies that cuts out a label that is 1-3/4" x 3-3/8". Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out to the punched designer paper strip so it is centered over the strip with the ends of the designer paper sticking out to the left and right sides.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out with designer paper attached to the front of the card so the right edge of the designer paper strip almost touches the right edge of the dry embossed white layer and the bottom of the label cut out is about 1/4" from the bottom of the dry embossed white layer.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the large blue or green butterfly cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so it overlaps the upper left side of the sentiment label cut out.
Adhere the small pink or yellow butterfly cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle just to the right of the first butterfly cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 tiny rhinestones from a sheet of Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card around the butterfly cut outs.
