Bibi’s Butterflies Collection Cards | Spellbinders

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.

For this next card, I used the Butterfly Card Creator Etched Dies. Onto an A2 side folding card base I glued half of the body of the butterfly that was scored down the middle of the butterfly and folded back. This card displays beautifully as you can see below. It will fold flat but it does have a bit of bulk to it and you will need to use a larger envelope as half the body of the butterfly hangs over the edge.

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.

To finish this card, I then added all the elements to the front of the shaker panel using a strong adhesive, and then once again added a sentiment from the same Everyday Sentiment II foil plates.

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!

Sweet Treat Interactive Surprise Cards | Tina Smith Sweet Street Collection | Spellbinders

Hello friends! 

Hope you have been well. Today I am excited to share a couple of birthday cards featuring a couple of die sets from Tina Smith Sweet Street Collection for Spellbinders.

CARD RECIPE #1

Let's start with the background. This is a 5x7 card. 

• Using the foil plate from the Spot on Background & Sentiments, I dry embossed the background.
• To each embossed circle, I painted on some Liquid Pixie Dust for shine and contrast. Set aside to dry.

• Die-cut the pieces for the 3 cupcakes using Party Cupcake Pocket Dies. Use colors you love and that coordinate well together.
• To the tag and the middle cupcake, I foiled the sentiments using POLISHED BRASS - Glimmer Foil and the sentiment plates from the Celebrate the Day Foil Set. You will need the Hot Foil System for this step.

• Stamp out the sentiments on the other cupcakes. 
• Piece and glue cupcakes together.
• Glue cupcake wrappers to the card base. To the middle cupcake, I added some baker's twine before gluing the wrapper in place. Make sure you trim off any twine not showing from the backside to allow the pocket to work properly.

• Embellish each cupcake as desired. I used glossy accents, Sweet Sprinkles, and Glitter as finishing details.

Here is a look at the surprise messages on each cupcake.

So fun and yummy!

CARD RECIPE #2

• Die-cut the frame from the background panel using the Rectangle Etched Dies.

• Die-cut the pieces for the cake using the dies from the Layer Cake Surprise Dies Set.
• Die-cut the flower from the Party Cupcake Pocket Dies.
• Assemble and glue pieces together.  

• To the chocolate top layer of the cake, foil the sentiment using the Birthday greeting from the Scalloped Rectangle Glimmer Essentials with Sentiments Foil Plates and the Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Speckled Prism. You will need the Foil System for this step.
• Before attaching the cake to the background. Stamp out the sentiments for the recipient to see that this is an interactive card.

• Glue cake to the background.

• Embellish flower center with a pearl.
