I made this “I’m So Grateful There’s You in the World” Butterfly Card as part of an Online Class I took. It is an elegant, yet quick to make card. It also uses the two Butterfly Punches, one of which is on Sale in a Bundle with the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set until September 30, 2013. Have fun making this card for someone special in your life.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Pistachio Pudding card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Cut your Early Espresso layer at 4″ x 5-1/4″. Set aside.
3. Cut your Very Vanilla layer at 3-3/4″ x 5″. Place in your Beautifully Baroque embossing folder with about 1″ sticking out of the folder so it will remain flat. Run through your Big Shot. Adhere to your Early Espresso layer with Tombow or SNAIL.
4. Add your Ruffled Trim. I cut about 6″. Put some SNAIL along the flat part by the embossed line and put your Ruffled Trim on trying not to stretch it. Attach Ruffled Trim to the back of the Early Espresso layer with either SNAIL, Tombow or Glue Dots.
5. Cut out the desired Chalk Talk label from Early Espresso card stock. Stamp Chalk Talk sentiment in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla card stock. Punch out with the Extra Large Oval punch. Adhere to Early Espresso Label with Dimensionals. Adhere label to card over the Ruffled Trim with Dimensionals.
6. Punch Elegant Butterfly from Pistachio Pudding card stock. Punch Bitty Butterfly from Designer Series Paper. Adhere Butterflies together with Glue Dot. Add Candy Dot to center of Butterfly. Adhere Butterfly to card with Dimensionals.
7. Admire your fun card before you give it to someone special to show you appreciate them.
Happy Stamping!
