Hello, my friends. Happy Monday and Happy Valentine's Day! Can you feel the Spring in the air yet? Everything has been melting around here, we have had the strangest winter this year. I hope it's a sign that spring is near for us. We always have such long winters.
Today I have three cards to share with you featuring my friend Bibi's Butterflies Collection. I am so happy for Bibi and love the creative collection she designed, perfect for so many occasions as you will see here.
CARD RECIPE
This first card features the gorgeous Delicate Butterflies Etched Dies. To make this pretty card I die cut from white cardstock two of each of the butterflies from the set. To create the I then rainbow layer of the butterfly, I ink blended a whole panel first mixing yellow, pink, and blue ink to create a rainbow blend. I then die cut the base of the wings from the panel and then assembled each butterfly.
To the top layer of the wings, I add sparkle using Liquid Pixie Dust. Hard to see from the photo but they are so pretty in real life. For the bodies, I added a top layer that I die cut using gold foil paper. Next, I created the gold foiled sentiment using the Everyday Sentiments II with the Hot Foil System. The rest was assembling it all together onto the card panel and adding gold foil pearls.
I created the rainbow flowers the same as I did with the previous butterflies. I then used green ink to blend out the leaves. I finished the flower centers using gold pearls, and also added them to the tiny antenna tops. Here again, I used the Everyday Sentiment II to add my foiled greeting.
Once you open up the card, you are surprised with the pop-up butterfly surprise. This was done using another one of Bibi's sets, Pop-Up Butterfly Etched Dies. So fun to see it pop from the center when you open up this card!
Here again, I used the same three inks to blend out the wings. I also used the same foiled sentiment set and added the sentiment strip to the tip of the wing to also make it pop off the paper.
For this third and final card, I used Bibi's So Many Butterflies Etched Dies to create this frameless shaker card or edge-to-edge card as some call them. To each wing layer, I blended out a different color on the wings. On the pink layer, I applied some glimmer paste using the dot design from the Geometric Butterfly Stencil. The white detail wing layer comes from the Pop-Up Butterfly Etched Dies, I just cut the center tabs off. I love how this whole collection works so well together!
To the card panel, I gold foiled the frame using the Essential Duo Lines Rectangles Foil Plates. I then created the shaker pocket using clear packaging and filled it with tiny star sequins I had in my stash. Watch this video if you want to see how these pockets are made 👉HERE.
I hope these beautiful Spring rainbow-inspired cards made you smile. I had so much fun playing with this collection and hopefully, they inspired you. A special thank you to Bibi Cameron and Spellbinders for inviting me to create with her gorgeous collection!
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
