This Springtime Foils All-Occasion Butterfly Card can suit almost any occasion, it would even make a pretty Easter card with an Easter greeting or springtime. After all, it uses the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, still available this week during Sale-A-Bration.
This is another card I made the the other day when I was making a stack of cards with the Springtime Foils Paper. This paper is so pretty you almost don’t need to do anything else to it except add a greeting if you like. On this card, I used two different patterns of the paper, side by side (with a tiny bit of overlap). I also colored in the flowers with some of the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers that unfortunately are not available right now until they get them restocked.
The butterfly is cut with a die we’ve had for awhile, the Butterflies Thinlits Dies. Some dies are just classic and can be used for a lot of things. This is one of them. I cut the butterfly out of the Copper Foil Sheet. All of our foil paper is so gorgeous!
The ribbon adds something to the card. Sometimes I have to remember to tie it around the paper before I glue it down to the card! This ribbon is the Pool Party 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon. Very pretty!
Here is the card from the other day that I made using the Springtime Foils paper and the butterfly.
All this card needs is a greeting before you put it in an envelope! And really, I think it could just go the way it is and you can write a personal note inside or a greeting. Not every card has to have a greeting on the front, but that’s what we usually do.
You could make a card design like this with any designer paper you have. Get into your stash and see what you can make, something like this Springtime Foils All-Occasion Butterfly Card.
Last week for Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration! Ends March 31.
