Butterflies A Flutter Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This birthday card was made for a crafty friend who likes nature and the Art Nouvo style.

Cardbase:  I cut from a 12×12 sheet of single-sided patterned cardstock, a 7 x10-inch piece so that the design would be my decorative card front. The rectangle was folded in half to form a top-fold A7 (5×7-inch) size card. The remaining patterned cardstock was cut into rectangles to cover the inside of the card.

Butterfly Pop-Up Collage:  Using the Karen Burniston Heart Collage Pop-Up die, cut of the mechanism from the scraps of the cardbase cardstock. (Follow the assembly video directions for installation of the mechanisms. Video is at the bottom of the linked die page.) Cut butterflies from scrapes of Graphic 45 decorative cardstock and glue onto mechanisms avoiding catch points as shown in the assembly video.

Sentiments:  Karen Burniston’s Happy Birthday die was cut in white and glued to the front of the card. The Funn sentiment from Craft Roulette was stamped in black ink onto a decorative scalloped label cut and embossed using an Emily Moore Designs die. Glitter gloss was used on all the sentiments for some sparkle.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope.
