Have you seen the card sketches Stampin’ Up! added into this year’s 2024-25 Annual Catalog? Of the 22 sketches shown on p. 22, I’d like to show you a card I created based on the ninth one. I used the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set, Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper, and Copper Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder for the ten 1/2″ tall strips.

Three of the 1/2″ x 3-3/4″ strips are Pretty Peacock stamped with butterflies in Pretty Peacock ink. Two are just plain strips of Lost Lagoon cardstock (where I placed the Pretty Peacock Blooming Pearls). Two are Oxidized Copper paper strips. And the other three are Basic White Cardstock strips coated with three layers of Copper Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and pressed in butterfly stamp images.

The key for getting those pressed in images is to immediately press the stamp into the heated powder before it cools. If you mess up, you can reheat the powder with the Heat Tool to soften it again and smooth out the copper embossing. Then once again press your stamp into the warmth right away. It’s a fun technique that’s been around for years (I remember it being super popular when I first became a demonstrator in 2000). The sample card shown on p. 126 made me want to try it again.

It’s an amazing look, right? (This layout is also great for making use of paper scraps!) Be sure to check out the full product list below for all the supplies needed to make this great birthday card. Oh! And don’t forget to stamp a pretty butterfly on the inside, too!
