Brighten their Day with the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop

The new Butterfly Brilliance Collection will brighten anyone's day! This fabulous new collection including stamp, dies, and patterned paper will be available Monday. Today, I have a sneak peek of this beautiful collection. For the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop, I have created a note card that tucks into a beautiful handmade book that would be a perfect gift to brighten someone's day. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Stampin' Friends Blog Hop

I'm hopping with the Stampin' Friends today. After you've looked at my projects, I hope you'll click through to all of the rest of the projects. You'll find the list of links to the other blogs at the bottom of this page. 

See how I make this fun mini book

See the Butterfly Brilliance collection in more detail as I show you how to put this fun mini book together. Plus, I have an additional mini book that I share in the video that has a rainbow spine. 

Supply List for this Mini Book

The Butterfly Brilliance Collection

The new Butterfly Brilliance collection has a large stamp with 6 large butterflies flying by. The die set has one die that will cut all six butterflies at once. Plus, it has individual detailed butterflies that match each one and additional dies as well. The stamp sets and dies will be available beginning Monday and will be in the upcoming Annual Catalog. However, the collection also has the limited edition Butterfly Bijou 6"x6" patterned paper and Natural Touch specialty paper which are only available through May 3. 

Happy Thoughts Book

This beautiful handmade book is easy to make with the Butterfly Bijou patterned paper and dies. Throughout the book, I added sentiments from the Happy Thoughts, Well Said, Ridiculously Awesome, and Dragonfly Garden stamp sets. 

The butterfly on the cover of the book was cut from So Saffron cardstock. Then, I blended Mango Melody ink onto the edges with a blending brush. I added a Basic Black detailed butterfly over the solid base. I only adhered the body of the butterfly so that the wings could lift off the front of the book.

Coordination of Patterned Paper and dies

If you get the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and dies, you are absolutely going to want the Butterfly Bijou patterned paper. One of the designs is covered with gorgeous butterflies. The large die fits these butterflies perfectly to quickly and easily cut 6 gorgeously colored butterflies. This makes the decoration for this book go very quickly!

Tuck a Card in the last page of this handmade book

The last "page" of this handmade book is an envelope from a pack of note cards and envelopes. I covered the back flap with a piece of the Butterfly Bijou patterned paper. This is the perfect spot to tuck a matching notecard.
