Botanical Butterfly Cards with Butterfly Elements

Butterfly Elements are some really cute embellishments which are on offer during Sale-A-Bration. As expected there are butterflies but there are also various flowers and different sized leaves which can be used for your projects. The natural look of these really appeal to me but you will see on the second card that there are ways to alter this. 

Card 1

Easy layout with Saleabration itemBotanical Butterfly DSP, Organdy ribbon, Butterflies, Handmade card

This card uses the beautiful Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper – 3 different patterns of it. The black checks adds a nice contrast against the butterflies. I have attached the butterfly element with glue dots. You do need to be careful when removing these off the backing board as they can chip if you put too much pressure on it. Just work your way around it and it just pops out. I’ve layered some ribbons together and added the butterfly on top. The only stamped element is the sentiment. This is a great layout for using up your patterned paper.

Card 2

Handmade card with Botanical Butterfly patterned paper and Embossed butterfly

This card too shows off the beauty of that butterfly paper. How pretty is it? I had some leftover embossed Lemon Lime Twist cardstock so I cut it down and used it under the sentiment. I’ve also made use of the free Organdy Ribbon from Sale-A-Bration. This pack comes in 5 colours so it’s a great item to get as a freebie. I also used the die from the Beautiful Layers set to coordinate the inside of the envelope with the card.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Elements. I used Black Embossing Powder to achieve this effect. I love the glossy look it gives to it. Using a pair of tweezers to hold onto the edge helps you when using the heat gun. I applied the embossing powder twice to make sure I got every section. That butterfly really stands out against the background and ties in with the paper with the black dots. The black and white options in this paper makes it versatile.

Hello Beautiful – Butterfly Gala Card

It’s a butterfly hat trick for me. The whole Gingham Gala suite just refuses to leave my desk. I love it.  My card today is a simple layout and makes good use of the beautiful DSP. I have tons of DSP and I figure I need to use it up as it’s getting out of control. Plus DSP gives you maximum effect with minimal work because the beauty of the paper will enhance even a simple project.

The Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and Butterfly elements are free products which can be earned with a qualifying purchase. Take a look at this video for all the details of the Sale-A-Bration products that coordinate with the Gingham Gala suite. You don’t want to miss it. 

To Make this Card:

You will need the 3 largest circles from the Stitched Framelits dies. Die cut the larger 2 from DSP and the smallest from Shimmery White Cardstock. Take your Shimmery White Cardstock and water colour it using the ink refills and aqua painter. Let this thoroughly dry. Then stamp the sentiment. 

The flax ribbon has been coloured in with Light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend. The sequins are self adhesive so they are easy to add to any project. For dimension, I added the butterfly elements, making this a very quick card to complete. 

Sale-A-Bration runs until 31st March. It’s your opportunity to earn some fabulous products for free.
