BUTTERFLY LOVE

Here is another hybrid card for you. This is one of the projects we did at my workshop this week.

I do not own the stamp set, Extreme Elements. But I have used it a few times nevertheless. You see, I have it as part of my My Digital Studio stash.

One of the really cool things about the "stamps" in My Digital Studio is that many of them in MDS2 are SVG stamps, meaning they can be resized to whatever best fits your project. Unlike traditional rubber stamps which come in one size only, Stampin' Up!'s digital stamps are so much more versatile in that they can be made larger or smaller depending on what you need.

I printed the splat from the Extreme Elements set on a piece of white card stock. I then cut the shape from the Window Frames Collection Framelits. That serves as the background for the rest of my focal image on my card.

An embossed card front and a little paper piercing added the needed elements to finish off 

the look of the card. A little bling also adds to the romance.

I meant this card to be a Valentine, but it would work equally well for many other occasions 

also. Think wedding, anniversary, anytime the theme of love is appropriate in sending your 

sentiments.

Make your own!

Supplies:

Papillon Potpourri stamp set

You Are Loved stamp set

Whisper White card stock

Rose Red card stock

Rose Red ink

Splatter from My Digital Studio  Extreme Elements stamp set

Basic Rhinestones

Decorative Label Punch

Big Shot

Elegant Butterfly Punch

Window Frames Collection Framelits

Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder

Paper Piercing Tool

Festive Paper Piercing Pack

Stampin' Pierce Mat

Paper Snips

Instructions:

Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Rose Red card stock in half, creasing well with a bone folder.

Run a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot inside the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. Adhere this to the card front.

Run the piece with the splatter on it through the Big Shot using the third largest Framelit 

in the Window Frames Collection. Repeat this with a piece of Rose Red card stock using the second largest Framelit.

Use the appropriate piercing mat from the Festive Paper piercing Pack to pierce holes on the white piece to form a frame. Adhere these two pieces together and attach to the card front 

with Stampin' Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Whisper White card stock, stamp the love label in Rose Red. Punch it out with 

the Decoration Label Punch. From a scrap of Whisper White, punch another of the labels. Cut 

this label in half vertically. Adhere it to the back of the stamped label to form a frame around 

the love label. Snip off the little pokey pieces at the center of the label.

Attach this atop the splatter piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Whisper White card stock, stamp the flower butterfly in Rose Red. Use the 

Elegant Butterfly Punch to punch it out. Attach the butterfly to the card front with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Add rhinestones to the label and butterfly flowers.

Sending butterfly love your way!

Smiles.
