I needed to make a get well card for a friend of ours. Not really knowing her likes/dislikes other than dancing, I decided to play safe and make an unusual card.
1. My card blank – pearly white, 250 gsm
2. Using my standard template I printed my details on the back and the greeting on the front.
3. Ready to be embossed with one of my favourite Cuttlebug folders – Stylized Flowers.
4. Lining up the folder so it doesn’t emboss over the text
and into the Big Shot it goes
5. Now for the butterfly.
Using my butterfly die (from the Sizzix seasonal set – Butterfly #5) I cut 3 butterflies: 1 x pink; 1 x lilac and 1 x silver.
6. Using on the body from the silver shape, which I stuck to the pink “base” shape.
7. Taking the lilac shape, I cut the pieces that I wanted and stuck those to the pink shape.
8. I added two crystal gems and the butterfly is complete.
I then glued the butterfly onto the embossed card.
9. Done!!
Now hopefully you have been able to follow my instructions.
