Beautiful Butterflies Celebration Pennants

Supplies needed:

Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Melon Mambo Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
   - 2-3/4" x 4" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
   -6 pieces each 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" of various designs from Toadstool Gardens 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 2 pieces each 1" x 2" of various designs from Toadstool Gardens 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 1-3/4" x 2" from Basic White Cardstock

2. 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.

3. DO THIS STEP FIRST!

   Mount the smaller, open-winged butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white rectangle.

   Working quickly, use the Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to add some glitter to the wings of the stamped butterfly and to spread the pink color around a bit. Set aside to dry.

4. Mount the sentiment of choice from the Beautiful Butterflies Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vertical, large white rectangle so it is as close to the right side as possible and is about 3" from the bottom of the rectangle.

5. Insert the Granny Apple Green rectangle into the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder so the circles will be curving upwards from the bottom long edge. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.

6. Pick out the banner die that cuts out a banner that is 7/8" wide from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of one of the larger Toadstool Gardens Designer Paper pieces on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you cut out one notched end. Run through the machine. Repeat with the other 5 larger pieces of designer paper.

   Tip: Pay attention to the orientation of the mushrooms as you cut that strip if you use that pattern.

7. Pick out the banner die that cuts out a banner that is 5/8" wide from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of one of the smaller Toadstool Gardens Designer Paper pieces on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you cut out one notched end. Run through the machine. Repeat with the other smaller piece of designer paper.

8. WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the banner pieces along the top, long edge of the dry embossed Granny Apple Green rectangle to figure out spacing and placement. Once happy with the arrangement, adhere the banners in place one at a time. Make sure they are at different lengths and overlap each other a bit. Try to adhere them so that the bottom, notched ends are a bit loose so you can gently curl the edges up to finish your card.

9. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper bits along the top edge of the Granny Apple Green rectangle as needed.

10. Adhere the dry embossed Granny Apple Green rectangle with banners attached to the bottom of the large, stamped white rectangle so it is just below the stamped sentiment. Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off any excess green cardstock as needed.

11. Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the White 1/2" Woven Ribbon.

12. Lay the ribbon across the rectangle so it hides the seam along the top of the green cardstock/designer paper banners piece. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.

13. Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere to the front of the Melon Mambo card.

14. Pick out the matching, open, open-winged butterfly die included in the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the stamped and glimmered butterfly image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.

15. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the butterfly cut out to the front of the card as shown at a slight angle in the upper left corner.

16. Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small butterflies from a sheet of Brushed Brass Butterflies making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown.

17. Cut a 4" piece of the White 1/2" Woven Ribbon.

18. Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front. Tie the ribbon in place with a half knot on the left side of the card. Trim the ends.
