Pop Up Butterfly Birthday

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by Rachel Tessman.  She used the Dragonfly for her card.  I changed my card up a bit, but I used the same DSP (Petal Garden - which is retiring)

I used Thick Whisper White as my card base folding it in a horizontal fold. On the inside I adhered a 4 by 5 1/4" of Petal Garden DSP

A 2 3/4" strip of the same pattern of Petal Garden DSP was added about 3/4" from the left edge of the card front.  The Classic Label punch was used to punch an aperture in this DSP through which the butterfly would would pop through.

I die cut the butterfly using Basic Black card stock, and the Butterfly Thinlet -  the Framelit was used to die cut the same size butterfly but in Vellum..

The two butterfly layers were adhered together using glue dots.

Glue dots were added to the butterfly unit, the wings folded up and the butterfly inserted through the punched aperture and adhered to the DSP on the inside of the card.  When the card is opened, the butterfly slips through the opening in the front.  On closing the card, the wings are pinched together and inserted back through the aperture and pop back up through the front.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Better Together
Inks:  Black Memento, Rich Razzelberry Bendability
Papers:  Thick Whisper White, Petal Garden DSP, Basic Black, Vellum
Accessories:  Butterfly Thinlets and Framelits, Classic label Punch, Pearls

Gorgeous Butterfly - Brusho and Glimmer Texture Paste

Today I played - using the new Shimmer Texture Paste with Brusho crystals.  I used various dies and decorative masks, but the one I like the best is this butterfly I created.

Using the Bold Butterfly Framelit taped to a piece of Watercolour paper, I sprinkled a tiny bit of red and yellow Brusho crystals within the confines of the framelit.

Then, using a palette knife, I added some of the new Glimmer Texture past and mixed the paste with the Brusho - the paste being wet activates the Brusho crystals.

When I was happy with the result, I removed the butterfly framelit and set it aside to dry.  While it was drying I washed the framelit thoroughly.  This last step is very important.

Using Basic Black cardstock, I die cut a Butterfly thinlet the same size as the framelit.

When dry, the butterfly was die cut using the butterfly framelit.

The two were adhered together at the body only using tombo glue.

Little Moments Matter - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #324

The challenge this week with Try Stampin' on Tuesday, as well as a sketch challenge, is also a theme challenge - to use  shades of one color.

I used various shades of mauve/purple, The sketch is courtesy of Kaylin.

The base card is Wisteria Wonder, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Fluttering Wings  embossing folder. The  edges of this embossed piece were sponged with Wisteria Wonder ink.

A fancy scalloped circle with tiny flowers around the edge was die cut and adhered to the lower  half of the card front.

On top of that I adhered a 1" strip of  Wisteria Wonder DSP, followed by a 1/2" piece of Perfect Plum card stock.

The butterfly was made using triple stamping using the "Watercolor Wings" stamp set - using  the following  colors:  Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant. This stamped butterfly was die cut using the "Bold Butterfly Framelit".  The same size butterfly was die cut with Perfect Plum cardstock using the "Butterfly Thinlet" die and adhered to the stamped die-cut butterfly in the center of the butterfly only.

This butterfly unit was adhered to a Whisper White scallop circle, which was adhered to a Perfect Plum circle.  A dimensional was used to  adhere the circles to the middle of the die cut scallop circle.

Stamp: Watercolor Wings
Inks: Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant
