Butterfly Birthday

 

Make this stylish butterfly greeting card using Stampin Up's Butterfly Gala stamp and punch set



Sometimes the simplest cards have the most impact and I think this little butterfly card is just that
Use Stampin Up's Butterfly Gala stamp and punch to make this card



I've stamped butterflies but actually you could have any little stamped and die cut image and any patterned background paper

Follow the below link to find out how the card was made

You will need
  • Butterfly Gala stamp and punch set by Stampin Up
  • Happy Birthday stamp (I used one from Sweet Ice Cream stamp set by Stampin Up)
  • Floral patterned paper (I used a sheet from Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper by Stampin Up)
  • Rectangle die about 8 . 5 cm by 6 . 5 cm (Just cut a rectangle using a guillotine if you do not have a die)
  • Red ink pad (I used Cherry Cobler by Stampin Up)
  • White card
  • Guillotine with cutting and scoring blades
  • Glue and double sided foam pads

  1. Cut the white card to 21 cm by 10 . 5 cm and score at 10 . 5 cm to make a square base card

  2. Using the red ink pad, stamp Happy Birthday to the bottom of the card base

  3. Use the rectangular die to cut out a rectangle from the floral patterned paper. Glue it to the base card towards the top

    Glue patterned paper to top of base card


  4. Using the red ink pad, stamp two butterflies onto white card. Use the punch to cut out

    Use butterfly punch to cut out
    The best way to punch the butterflies out, is to use the punch upside down.  Align the stamped images up with the cutting blades.  Push the punch down slightly where you can check it's in the right place.  When you are satisfied then press the punch the rest of the way down to cut them out

    Each stamp and punch cuts 2 butterflies at a time


  5. Use double sided foam pads to attach the two butterflies to the patterned paper on the front of the base card
