Spellbinders Butterfly Card Creator Shaped Card Idea

I’m back with another easy-peasy butterfly shaped card idea made using my Butterfly Card Creator die set and the Lemon Zest die set by Spellbinders.

This card measure 5x 7 inches.

For the sentiment, I used the new Big Scrypt Hugs die set by Simon Says Stamp and I die cut it out of stunning Silver Holographic Cardstock by Simon Says Stamp as well.

To make this card, I made my own custom paper by applying watercolour paints over watercolour paper.
This allows you to easily create colour degradations to later add interest to your die cuts plus you can create any cardstock colour you might like.
Once the paper was dried, I used the Lemon Zest die set to die-cut the lemons, leaves and flowers.
I glued the lemons and leaves together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.
Then, I die cut the sentiments “Hugs” using Big Scrypt Hugs die set by Simon Says Stamp and Silver Holographic Cardstock.

Next, I made a 5×7 butterfly-shaped card base using the larger die in the Butterfly Card Creator die set.
I also die cut 2 butterflies and one butterfly body using the largest dies in the Butterfly Card Creator die set.
One butterfly was cut out of blue cardstock and the other out of Neenah 100 lb cardstock.
Then, I glued the lemons and leaves clusters over the white butterfly die-cut.
I glued the butterfly body over the large blue butterfly die-cut and then, I glued the white butterfly over.
To finish, I glue the layered panel onto the butterfly-shaped card base.

I used Silver Gems by Spellbinders to embellish and I couldn’t resist using some old silver holographic sequins I had in my stash to add sparkle.
Studio Katia got some similar silver holographic sequins here. They are gorgeous!

I also made a quick and easy slimline card using the die-cuts I got left from making the project above.

This card measure 8 x 4 inches.

To make it, I used the same supplies except the Butterfly Card Creator die set.

I added a cute bird made using the Layered Chickadee wafer die by Simon Says Stamp ( also die -cut out of my DIY coloured cardstock)

That’s all for today.
I hope you enjoyed this post.
