Easy Card Ideas with Butterfly Brilliance

I have some easy card ideas for you today using the Butterfly Brilliance Collection from Stampin' Up! I love this new stamp and the coordinating dies. Sadly, the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou patterned paper has already sold out. But, if you already have some of this beautiful paper sitting on your craft table, here are some great ideas for creating cards with it. If you're not so lucky to have a pack of the Butterfly Bijou paper, you could make these cards with other patterned paper and the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I used a blending brush to add a little Mango Melody ink to the outside of the So Saffron butterfly. This gave the butterfly a yellow and orange look to it. I only glued the center of the Basic Black detailed butterfly so that the wings would pop up and give the butterfly dimension.

Simple Blue Butterfly Card Dimensions

This beautiful blue butterfly card is so easy to make! And the only stamping is the greeting on the inside. I cut the butterfly from the Butterfly Bijou paper with the Brilliant Wings dies. If you don't have the paper, you could stamp it instead, color it, and cut it.

Misty Moonlight cardstock: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Butterfly Bijou patterned paper: 3" x 5 1/2"
Butterfly Bijou patterned paper: 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Vellum cardstock: 3" x 3", cut with the Stitched Shapes dies
​Basic White cardstock (inside): 5 1/4" x 4"

The dies cut the six butterflies from the Butterfly Bijou paper or the six butterflies from the stamp in one fell swoop. Since I had additional butterflies, I added them to the insides of these cards along with the sentiments from the Happy Thoughts stamp sets.
