Best Butterflies for PP599

Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, LeAnne is hosting our Color Challenge.
This color combo is bright, happy and perfect for the summer season! Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party are two of the new 2022-2024 In Colors from Stampin’ Up! One of the things I have found with this new collection of In Colors is that they all just pair together really beautifully. I’m SO happy that there is a new turquoise shade, too. This was just a fun color combo to create with! I hope you will join us and play along this week. 

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
My card started out as something completely different but I was ending up trying to add to many additional colors, so I shifted gears. I ended up using the Best Butterflies stamp set and coordinating Build a Butterfly Dies from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. I just love the detail in those butterfly die cuts! I cut them from the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper to add some sparkly detail and layered them with Vellum Cardstock to create some “fluttery” detail & dimension in the wings.

I used the Dots & Spots Die to create the adorable polka dot background. This die is one of my favorites and I just love the detail it adds. Fun tip: you can also save the little die cut polka dot pieces to use in a shaker card. There is very minimal stamping on this card as the dies did most of the work. I just love how this card came out and I hope you do as well. :) 
Card Measurements & Details: 
  • Thick Basic White Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
  • Tahitian Tide Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4”

  • Vellum Cardstock: scraps to die cut (2) larger detailed butterflies and (1) smaller detailed butterfly using Build a Butterfly Dies
  • Parakeet Party Cardstock: scrap to die cut stitched circle from Stylish Shapes Dies, heat emboss sentiment
  • In Color Matte Decorative Dots

Here is a peek inside the card! I had an extra piece of the die cut Parakeet Parry that I accidentally cut to the wrong size, so I just used a little strip (with Tahitian Tide behind it) to accent the inside of the card. I added a fun stamped sentiment and this card is ready to pop in the mail to brighten someone’s day.
