Butterfly Gala Thank You Card With Floral Garden Impressions

Butterfly Gala Thank You Card With Floral Garden Impressions

When my daughter was here for a visit last week and pulling out lots of paper and stamps, some retired, when we went to put away the Garden Impressions Designer Paper I honestly couldn’t remember if it was current or retired! I hadn’t used it in a long time! So I thought it was time to USE IT, along with the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and the Butterfly Duet Punch to make this Butterfly Gala Thank You Card With Floral Garden Impressions.

The Garden Impressions paper is a pack of 6″ x 6″ sheets so it is a little easier to work with. So many pretty floral patterns and on the other side a more generic, plain design. This pattern with the Night of Navy background and So Saffron flowers jumped out at me so I chose to use that. The card base is Night of Navy with a Whisper White layer. The strip of designer paper is 5 1/4″ x 2″. The ribbon is the beautiful Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon, so useful to have on hand.

The butterflies are stamped with the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set, colored with Stampin’ Blends markers and punched out with the Butterfly Punch. Unfortunately, at the moment, the punch is back ordered and unable to be ordered until they get more in stock.

The greeting on the card is from the same Butterfly Gala Stamp set, along with some other very nice greetings. Luckily I didn’t mess it up when I stamped it just above the ribbon. Well, somehow I did get a slight black ink smudge in the upper left corner, but I was able to cover it with the butterfly wings! The large butterfly is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the other two are just adhered flat with Glue Dots.

Remember, Sale-A-Bration is going on just one more week!! Wow, does time fly!! You can still get the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper FREE with a $50 purchase, at least as I write this! I’m surprised this paper didn’t sell out early on because it is so fun with the butterflies on one side and some black and white designs on the other. If you like butterflies, you do want this paper!

If you didn’t want to take time to color in butterflies, you could simply make this same card without them! The Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ DSP is pretty enough! Stamp a greeting, maybe add a ribbon and you’ve got a lovely card. Check out these products in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store and get your Sale-A-Bration order in before you miss out!
