Catching Butterflies Flip Front Birthday Card.

 Good Morning Everyone

Today I've been playing around with the Catching Butterflies stamp set which is sooo cute. It's also a level 1 Sale a Bration reward, that's right you can get this stamp set for FREE with a qualifying order... now what's not to love about that!

I thought that a Flip Front Fold Card was the perfect way to show off this set, and I added a bit of Sparkle on her Dress, keep reading to see how I did it.


Measurements

Granny Apple Green Card Stock 

1pc - 4 1/8" x 5 3/4"

1pc - 8 1/4" x 3", scored at 4 1/8"

Basic White Card Stock 

2pc - 3 7/8" x 1 1/4"

2pc - 3 7/8" x 2 3/4"

-------------------------------------------

Start off by inking up the butterfly cluster in memento and completely cover the two 1 1/4" wide strips of Basic White. Then add a cluster into the lower right hand corner of one of the other pieces of Basic white. On the remaining piece of basic white stamp the girl and a single butterfly towards to top and place the sentiment (from Turtle Friends stamp set) along the bottom.

Once all the ink has dried colour all you stamping in with a selection of Blends - or any colouring medium you choose. You don't need to colour her dress, unless you want to miss out the next step, of course.

On a piece of Supple Shimmer paper stamp the girl again with memento. I only inked up enough of the stamp to get the dress. I will say that the coverage isn't great and the lines are faint, but in the right light you can see it. Carefully fussy cut the dress out. You could also do this step using some patterned paper to get a different effect if you would prefer.

Add glue to the back of the cut out dress and carefully position it over the stamped dress area on stamped panel.

Fold the 8 1/4" x 3" piece of Granny Apple Green and fold along the score line. Hold like a  tent fold card with the fold at the top, adding the two larger basic white pieces.

Now, take your larger piece of Granny Apple Green card stock and add the butterfly strip to either side, making sure you have a nice even border on those three sides. 

Add you "mini card" to the centre of the larger piece, adhering it down centrally with the fold at the top.

I hope you enjoyed today's card. I had lots of fun creating it! It's a very easy layout and there's so much design potential!!
