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!

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.

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?)
