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!

Butterfly Rainbow Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello, my friends. Hope you are having a wonderful week.

I don't know about you but I am ready for Spring. I'm tired of the cold and can't wait for the rain, rainbows, and all the joys that Spring brings. Just take a look at the colorful butterfly card I'm sharing today—it says it all!

CARD RECIPE

Butterflies - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Frame - A2 rectangles for card layering set

DIY Shaker Pocket - Shaker Sheets - Picket Fence Studios

Shaker bits - Sequin Mix - Iridescent Moonshine

Sentiment - Wreath-building butterfly wings

Black Ink - Black Hybrid Ink Pad

To start, I trimmed the shaker panel using one of the frames from the A2 rectangles for card layering set. Then to ensure that there would be absolutely no movement when stamping, I inserted the Paper Inking Palette - 5x6 into my Misti. For it to fit nicely, I did trim off a little edge around the palette. I then added the panel to the ink palette, it should stick nicely to the palette without the use of magnets or tape. Next, I used a circle die to plan out the butterfly ring. I placed all of the butterfly stamps on the top half of the circle die to form an semi-circle, I then picked up the stamps with the lid of the Misti and removed the die in preparation for stamping.

Using the Pint-sized Paper Pouncers I began transferring the ink to each butterfly by pouncing ink onto the stamps creating gradient colors of the rainbow, and stamping the images one at a time. Wiping the ink off if necessary from the stamps if I didn't want the colors to blend. Once I was done stamping the top semi-circle, I cleaned off all the stamps and rotated the panel to continue stamping the rest of the rainbow circle.

Now that the rainbow butterflies were complete, I then stamped out the sentiment using Black Hybrid Ink Pad. I then created a shaker pocket using the Shaker Sheets that I wrapped around the panel. Before securing the last flap I added the Iridescent Moonshine Sequin Mix. To the back of the panel, I added a foam backing adhesive. Finally, I glued the shaker panel to a card base that I had blended out rainbow ink to the edges.

Make sure to check out my Instagram as I will be sharing a Reel there on how this came together. If you are like me, it is much easier to see how this came together. I hope this colorful card brought some joy to your winter day.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
