Redo of Brilliant Butterflies and Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper Card from Stamping' Up!

          

  • Card redo of Butterflies and Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper
  • Final day to order Last Chance Products
  • New Catalog ordering begins at 3 AM (MT) 2 May 2023
  • Exploring New In Colors with May 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit
Last month, I published another version of this card.  Since then, I've been playing around with different prints from the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper as well as different color butterflies.  Today, since its the last day to purchase many of the items used on this card, I wanted to show you the "redo" I created from my original card.  I love the Shimmer and Shine products we have in the Stampin' Up! product line  I started with Soft Succulent Shimmer Paper, a carry over from the Stampin' Up! July- December 2022 Mini Catalog, which is currently on sale and retiring today, Item 160428 | $8.00  $10.00, and paired it with Soft Succulent Cardstock, which is one of the retiring In Colors retiring today, Item 155776 | $9.25, Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper, already sold out, Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon, on sale on the Clearance Rack, Item 158133 | $3.00 $7.50, and die cut Butterflies using Brilliant Wings Dies, retiring today and on sale, item 155523 | $17.60 $44.00.  I added a little more bling with Gold Sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins pack, which will carry over to the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog launching tomorrow, 2 May 2023.  I used sentiments from the Go To Greeting Stamp Set, which also carries over to the new catalog, heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on Pretty Peacock or  and fussy cut with a boarder.  You'll enjoy creating cards like this to give someone special in your life.

Next, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a circle out of the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper, and mounted it on Dimensionals.   I die cut two different sizes of butterflies out of either Daffodil Delight or Pretty Peacock Cardstock using the Brilliant Wings Dies and mounted them on the raised circle.

To finish my card, I  added a bow of 1/2" Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon from a Retired Ribbon pack currently on sale on the Clearance Rack. Then I stamped sentiments in Versamark Ink onto Soft Succulent Cardstock or Pretty Peacock Cardstock using the Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings Stamp Set, covered the sentiments in White Embossing Powder, and set the  White Embossing Powder with my Heat Tool.  Then I fussy cut around the letters leaving about a 1/4" boarder of cardstock.  I mounted them on Dimensionals before adding them to my cards.  To finish, I added several Gold Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to my card.
