Bold and Beautiful Butterfly Bliss Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends!

A couple of weeks ago I shared a pretty pink card using the  Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters die set designed by Becca Feeken (Amazing Paper Grace).  Well, I just could not put it away as it is such a great die set.  Also, my best friend's birthday is coming soon so I wanted to make her a card using the set.  The colors (red, black, white) are definitely her colors and will go well with the colors in her home.

Have you seen the die set?  It has the core dies to create the shutter card and then there are several dies to bling it up.  In total, the die set consists of 19 thin metal dies that you can use to create a sweet, interactive card. 

Now, if you do not make interactive cards or are concerned about the ease of making this card, do not fret!  It was super easy to make the card.  (Really, if I can make it then anyone can make it!)

For the card I used the following product designed by Becca Feeken: 

Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden die set (S6-183)

Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame die set (S6-184)

Also used was Spellbinders Hot Foil Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments (GLP-299)

The top of the shutters was made using the detailed scroll die in gold.  A single butterfly was then added on the top of each shutter.  A couple of drops of black Nuvo were added to each butterfly.  But wait...what is that fancy scroll on the bottom of each shutter?  I used the pull die, cut it to width, and added to the shutter.  I think it looks very fancy.  :) 

Here is a look at the "PULL" tab and the same die used on the shutter.  It is always fun using dies in new ways.

Let's go ahead and pull that tab.  How fun!  A golden happy birthday with butterfly silhouettes.

The happy birthday was created using the negative of the happy birthday from the card I made a couple of weeks ago.  A great way to use the foil die stamps and get more out of your crafty supplies and scraps.

Happy Birthday Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you seen the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters die set designed by Becca Feeken (Amazing Paper Grace) for Spellbinders? It is a very sweet die set that creates an interactive shutter style card. 

The die set consists of 19 thin metal dies that you can use to create a unique card for someone special. I saw this die set and knew I had to have it! My cards will be taken to a whole new level with this set.

The inspiration for my card today is the soft nature of June. My garden has happy little flowers throughout the summer and the June flowers are light colored and delicate. The flowers host beautiful butterflies, bees, and other delightful wee creatures. A garden is truly a magnificent place!

For the card I used the following product designed by Becca Feeken: 

Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden die set (S6-183)

Amazing Paper Grace Tiara Rondelle (S5-342)

Also used was Spellbinders Hot Foil Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments (GLP-299)

The color choices are antique pink, ivory, gold, and white (vellum) as the colors are fresh and uplifting. The colors really bring out the intricate details of the shutter dies.

The butterflies are die cut in gold and ivory card stock as well as white vellum. I added some Nuvo Drops in White Blizzard to the butterfly wings. The butterflies are beautiful!

The card corners are created using ivory card stock with the Tiara Rondelle die set. The corners are not necessary as the card looked lovely as is- I just wanted to add them as "landing spots" for more butterflies.  :)

When the tab is pulled, the shutters flip up and the foiled Happy Birthday with another wee butterfly appears.  I chose the opposite colors for the inside shutters- pink as the ornate die cut with an ivory background.

I adore how this card turned out and look forward to creating another!  It was fun to make and the die set results in not only a unique but beautiful card. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a happy, crafty day!

Hugs,

Kathy Jo
