Removable Butterfly card

By KariV on May 24, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am excited to share these cards that have been in my head for a long time…including a removable butterfly on a card!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this large butterfly die, and I previously did a video using it on some other cards, including a shaped card. But today, I have three more ideas for it. When you purchase a die set, you definitely want to get as much bang for your buck as possible!

Card 1: Large Shaker

This first card is a 5×7 size…larger than I normally make. I wanted to be able to capture that entire butterfly on a card and turn it into a shaker!

I first inked the background in a rainbow of colors, then I used both the background die and the detail die to cut out the butterfly. Then I added some acetate and some Sparkle Mix to make a fantastic shaker!

Card 2: Shaker tag

For the second shaker, I wanted the embellishments to shake in each detail piece, instead of the entire butterfly background. So I cut out four of the detail pieces and layered them up.

I added the shaker beads, then the black topper with acetate.

Card 3: Magnetic Butterfly

This last card may be my favorite…and I have been thinking about it for so long! I first inked up the background with a stencil.

This time I used gold foil paper for the detail on the butterfly. I added a small button magnet on the back of the butterfly and the card panel. It’s so fun to be able to remove that butterfly! You can use it on your refrigerator or a white board.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Hope you enjoyed these projects today! Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Spring Butterflies

By KariV on April 18, 2023 in Holidays, Mother's Day, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some Beautiful Spring Butterflies to share…with cards 3 ways! I love it when you can stretch your dies in this way…and I still have more ideas for this die set. I fell in love with it even more when I started working with it.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This die has so many possibilities! It’s an A7 size (so quite large!) and here I have created a Pop-Up Stand card, an A2 card with the butterfly “Flying off the card”, and a shaped card. I love that it is large enough to create a shaped card on it’s own!

For this card I used an alcohol inked panel for the background. I think it has just enough interest but not so much that it takes away from that gorgeous butterfly. I added gems and liquid pearls to embellish it.

Here is the shaped card! I just love a shaped card, don’t you?

And here is the pop-up pedestal card! Oh this is such a great design…if you add a rubberband to the center of the pedestal, it will “pop-up” every time. You can put this in an envelope because it folds completely flat, and then when you take it out of the envelope it will pop up into shape! Watch the video to see exactly what I mean.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you loved these projects like I do!

You are acute One

By KariV on January 24, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hi again! Today I’m up on the Hedgehog Hollow blog with a cute Geometric Butterfly card. The sentiment on this card has me laughing…”You really are acute one.” It’s kinda a play on words about those triangles!
