Thinking of You Butterfly

     This is the card that Bonnie designed for our Stampin' Dessert Night last week.  It was a very simple card to make.  A lady who never stamped before found it very easy to make this card.

     I hope you will plan to join us for our next Stampin' Dessert Night on June 13th.  Click HERE for all the details.

     Bonnie's card didn't have the Designer Label Punch layered all the way around it.  Her's just had a simple layer on the two ends (you just punch it again, cut it in half, cut the corners off of the cut line, and layer underneath).  I experimented and using some ideas from other demos, I figured out a way to make the layer.

FREE MINI TUTORIAL

• Punch out two Designer Label Punches from the same color card stock.
• Cut one in half long ways.
• Cut the other one in half the other way.
• Trim the corners of all the edges you just cut.
• Use SNAIL adhesive, and put adhesive on the entire back of the one you designed.
• Layer it under the designed one you already have punched out:
• Put the top & bottom on first - layering out as much as you wish.
• Put the sides on - matching the layering from the top & bottom
• NOTE:  You may need to add more adhesive as you add layer to ensure that the layers stick.
• Add to your project.

     Liz Kuhns, our demo group leader, designed this card:

     It was a make-n-take at our demonstrator monthly meeting in March.  I loved it so much, I made this one based on Liz's design:

     I used Liz's layout - the scallop circle, the cut out butterfly, and the grey background.  I changed up a bit my using a letterpress plate to add the design in the gray paper, and I chose pink (my favorite color).  What do you think?
