Complete Supply List for these Handmade Butterfly Cards

Celebrate with a Beautiful Butterfly

This is the card I created during the live! It’s a lovely birthday card featuring a large butterfly stamped in Berry Burst and colored with Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends. The background has a subtle stamped effect where I carefully inked just the word “celebrate” from one of the sentiments and stamped it all over Bubble Bath cardstock. For some extra sparkle, I added Purple Self-Adhesive Sequins—which you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration!

Card Dimensions:

• Bubble Bath (Card base): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Bubble Bath (layer): 5" x 3 3/4"
• Fresh Freesia (layer): 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
• Fresh Freesia (circle): 3", cut with the Stylish Shapes dies
• Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 5" x 1 3/4"

A Quick & Elegant Birthday Card

This one is simple yet stunning! I used the Nested Essentials dies to cut the sentiment panel and stamped it with Fresh Freesia ink. A few small butterflies cut from the Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper, along with Purple Self-Adhesive Sequins and Fresh Freesia Seam Binding (also FREE during Sale-A-Bration), add the perfect finishing touch.

Card Dimensions:

• Fresh Freesia: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Bubble Bath: 3 1/8" x 3 7/8"
• Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 3" x 3 3/4"

A Gentle Reminder – Thinking of You

This card is a soft and elegant option for a thinking of you or sympathy card. I die-cut a large butterfly from Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia. Small butterflies cut from Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper add a delicate shimmer, and I finished the design with more Purple Self-Adhesive Sequins.

Clean & Simple White-on-White Elegance

For those who love a minimalist look, this card is all about texture and shimmer! I splattered Wink of Stella Glitter Brush ink on a Basic White panel, then embossed and die-cut a large butterfly. The sentiment, stamped in Crumb Cake for a soft effect, sits on a  die-cut banner. I finished it off with white sequins from the Purple Self-Adhesive Sequins pack. (Seriously, these sequins are amazing! Have you earned yours free yet?)
