Happy Belated Anniversary to sis in law and Bro-in law. I made this Butterfly box card, using mostly, different shades of purple card.
I followed the Tutorial from Sam Calcott on YouTube, but it went a little bit wrong. Some of the die-cuts wouldn't cut, even after going through my new BigShot three or four times. In the end I snipped them with my scissors and they didn't turn out too bad. Debs took these pictures as I'd forgotten to. The front of the card, the very top picture, the butterfly is in silver miri and the rest are in Crafter's Companion Centural Pearl, Snow White, Hint of Gold. 310gsm.
The box card should close flat, so that all the butterflies fold in together, but I couldn't get the butterfly bodys to fold in the middle, so I ended up adding another butterfly to make the circle complete and just hand delivered it! The butterfly's body part was actually a pretty purple multi-mirri patterned perfume box, (Versage woman Eau de Perfum Natural spray- not mine! I found it in someones recycle bin one Christmas! years back-too nice to throw away) so it was probably a little too thick to fold over. The last butterfly provides a space to write your sentiment on the back of its wing.I've just finished or nearly finished another butterfly card using the same die-set, which makes a gatefold card. Butterfly Trails, Card Making Magic by Christina Griffiths. I'll show you that later. Click on Sam's link above to show you how the card should've looked like! Or Here to see it on her blog. That's it for now. Thank you for stopping by!
