Spellbinders Bibi's Butterflies 3 Ways (Build a Scene)

Hello crafty friends, today I’m sharing ideas over the Simon Says Stamp blog using dies from Bibi’s Butterflies Collection.

Although this is a very feminine collection. For today I have projects with a more organic, bold, masculine look and feel.

Bibi’s Butterflies collection includes 4 die sets, 1 stamp set, and 1 stencil listed below:

Timeless and versatile, Bibi’s Butterflies’ main feature is the size of the nested butterflies.

You will find butterflies from 1″ inch to 5″ x 7 ” inches to create projects in many different sizes.

All these supplies coordinate together but they can also be used individually without losing versatility.

Butterfly – Shaped 5″x7″ inches Card

The solid butterflies are great tools to make card bases or main pieces for different projects.

You can build up any composition over the large butterfly wings.

Add accents to the bold wings by doing some hot foiling, stamping, stenciling, or simply applying colouring techniques involving any colouring medium you might like… The sky’s the limit.

From all the possibilities, I used the largest die from the Butterfly Card Creator die set as a base for a die-cut scene.

I applied a simple partial die-cutting technique that allowed me to get that beautiful butterfly shape on the card front.

Then, I made a little scene using dies from the Silent Night Make a Scene die set by Spellbinders.

The little golden stars were made using the SSS You’re a Star wafer die.

For the sentiments, I used stamps from the SSS XL Love Greetings stamp set and Versafine Ony Black Ink. Those were simply perfect!

4″x4″ Inches Gift Box

Here is a very basic idea to use the butterfly frame dies to create shaped – windows.

I used the same supplies for the card above plus a 2-1/2″ inches die from So Many Butterflies die set and a square die-cut pice made using dies from Fluted Classic Square die set.

The sentiment is from the SSS Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.
