Last Day to Save on the Butterfly Thinlets or Bundle

We all are loving the Butterfly Thinlits and I will say, the Butterfly Basics stamp set too. Now, I’ve told you before, I wasn’t quite sure what I thought about the Butterfly Basics stamp set when I first saw it… I loved the dies but the stamp set let me wondering what I would make with it.

I shouldn’t have been so worried! I decided to just go for it since they had the 15% off bundle, and boy am I glad I did. It make it so easy to make this card:

I’ll have the project tips below, but first…

Tips for making this card:

Butterfly Basics turns out to be an awesome collaging set! As in, you can take the stamps in the set and just start randomly mashing them together and 90% of the time, something super cool comes out! I love a stamp set that doesn’t make me think too hard.
Use your medium butterfly thinlit to die cut completely out a butterfly from a piece of Whisper White paper.
THEN stamp your background images on the big white paper with the butterfly set aside.
THEN adhere your big piece of white paper to a slightly larger piece of colored cardstock (in this case, the lovely Coastal Cabana)
THEN adhere your butterfly back into the die cut hole, but only glueing down the central body of the butterfly. This lets the wings be free to lift up from the page.

Tip: Use 2 way glue pen for a quick adhesive that isn’t messy to glue your diecut down.
Fill in the corner by stamping the butterfly from the same stamp set on scrap paper to punch out, and then again (without reinking) onto your cardstock for a lighter matching butterfly.
