One of my FAVORITE new products is our Butterflies Thinlits Dies collection. You can simply place one of these die-cut butterflies on a piece of folded cardstock, and you'll have an instant card!.. simply stunning.
I've been pinning lots of ideas with the new products, and this die is definitely a favorite amongst those of us who could order early. Click here to see my new Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalogs Pinterest board. Many Stampin' Up! demonstrators have been pinning their butterfly card creations.
I have two versions of this card to show you today. In this first card, I've used Blackberry Bliss for the card base cardstock and Blushing Bride for the butterfly.
You can purchase this set of dies with it's coordinating stamp set, Butterfly Basics, and you save on your purchase – 15% on this product bundle. And if you purchase at least $50 worth of product, you can choose an item from the Sale-A-Bration* catalog as a free gift! Might I recommend the Irresistably Yours paper which is what I used for the first layer under the butterfly?
As always I've listed and linked to my online store the supplies used in my projects at the bottom of my post. Because this stamp set is available in wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer, I have chosen to just list the photopolymer one in the supplies. But please know that you have many options.
There are some frustrations that can occur if you get these dies and just start cranking them through your Big Shot machine, though. So be sure to gather up wax paper and dryer sheets, then tune in to this video for tips…Fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Patty Bennett demonstrates the ways for getting the most ease in using these new Stampin' Up! dies.
Of course we are crediting Karen Burniston for the fabulous dryer sheet idea. Thank you, Karen! And thank you, Patty for your great tutorial. (Be sure to view this video if you have ANY KIND of intricate wafer-thin dies or are planning on adding some to your collection.)
Here is another version of this card using Basic Gray cardstock as the card base and Pink Pirouette for the butterfly.
This time I have layered the Silver foil paper behind the Smoky Slate so it is a little more subtle.
