Unique Butterfly Birthday Card

Ann got an idea yesterday and wanted to share a unique butterfly birthday card. It was so nice to share the creative process with our live stream viewers.

And, I believe we’ve got a tip or two that Ann didn’t mention yesterday.

She started off picking Berry Burst for her main color. And then she picked her patterned paper. Berry Burst wasn’t listed as one of the colors, but they sure did work together!

The more we look at it, the more Ann likes it. Even my favorite huMAN commented at how pretty the colors are!

But Ann would advise you to pick your patterned paper first and then pick your color for your card base. We just got lucky this time.

The dies that coordinate with the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set are what make this card unique. They come with 12 dies and a 3-D hybrid embossing folder. That means that you can use the dies and the embossing folder together at the same time.

We didn’t use the embossing folder on this project but we did show it in the live stream as an option.

Instead, we used a unique die that turns the butterfly into the card front! What Ann didn’t remind you about is to be sure to put that die through the machine wings first and not the flat top area.

Another Option

We placed a 1-1/4″ bar of Berry Burst across the bottom of the card front to make it more sturdy and help the card stand up. Another option could be to cut about an inch off the back of the card. It will still fit inside one of our medium envelopes.

And that Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper that we used is free with a $60 purchase.
