Butterfly Flight meets Fern & Flora

You don't have to use the masks to make neat foiled butterflies! This quick card by Pamela Blackwell, pairs the Hot Foiled Butterflies from the Butterfly Flight bundle with the DSP and dies from the Fern & Flora Bundle. Pretty Classy! I love how it turned out!

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet
Berry Burst: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", 1/4 sheet (foiled butterflies), scrap
Moonlit Flora (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scraps
Soft Sea Foam: 3" x 4" (ferns)

To Make this Card:

Layer Berry Burst and DSP onto folded Secret Sea card base.
Heat Foil the Butterfly Flight die in Gold Foil onto Berry Burst piece. Then, die cut with corresponding die. Set these aside.
Next, die cut 1 ea of the 2 "ferns" in the Fern & Flora dies in Soft Sea Foam
Also die cut the small flowers (they look like bows or bugs) in White, and the centers in Berry Burst (you'll need 2 of these).
To assemble the "flowers" you'll criss-cross the pieces, after first pairing them up. Add center of your choice. I did this with Multipurpose Glue.
Stamp and heat emboss "label" in Gold. Die cut with corresponding die.
Add sentiment in Berry Burst ink.
Shape the "butterflies" with bone folder.
Adhere the largest to the upper left of card front, as shown.
Then, determine where label will go, and adhere "ferns" so they will end up below and above the label, which is popped up with Dimensionals.
Next, add the 2 smaller "butterflies" to the front. I used Dimensionals, but Tear n Tape works well, too.
Finish front with small "flowers" and Berry Burst Garden Epoxy Dies.
Finish the inside with White insert, and one of the left over "butterflies" and Garden Dots.

Framed Violets Basic Card

This idea comes from Amy Koenders. She always makes such good use of all products in a Suite. This one is no exception! In addition to the Framed Violets coordinating stamps, dies, and DSP, she has also used the Shimmering Stripes Specialty paper and Adhesive-Baked Blooms, as well as the Fern Embossing Folder and Fern & Flora Dies! Makes for a neat card!

Fresh Freesia: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4" x 4 3/8"
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1/4 sheet (stamped images), scraps
Peaceful Pine (N): scraps
Violet Dreams (N) (OE): 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Peaceful Pine print)

Emboss one White layer with Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Fresh Freesia card base.

Die cut oval insert from new, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper. Adhere to center of scalloped piece.
Stamp 2 "violet sprigs" on piece of White in Peaceful Pine ink. Color with Blends and die cut with corresponding die. I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers.
Die cut 2, smaller Ferns from the Fern & Flora Dies. Cut the 3 "leaves" from the Framed Violet Dies, all from Peaceful Pine cardstock.
Add the 2 "ferns" to the oval, first.
Then adhere the 2 "violet sprigs" as shown.
And, lastly, add the 3 die cut "leaves".

Framed Violet and Foiled Swiss Dots

I saw a similar sample using the Impressions dies along with the Framed Violets dies. Of course, I added my own twist and added gold foiled Swiss Dots on Secret Sea cardstock and the Shimmering Stripes DSP for the center of the label. This is actually a really clean & simple card!

Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1/2" x 3 7/8" strip, 2" x 3" (label), scrap
Peaceful Pine (N): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", scraps
Secret Sea: 3 7/8" x 5 1/4"
Fresh Freesia: scraps
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Violet Dreams (N)(OE): 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" (Secret Sea print)
Shimmering Stripes DSP(N) (OE): 2" x 3" (inside label)

To Make this Card:

Add Peaceful Pine layer to folded Gorgeous Grape card base.
Hot foil Secret Sea layer in Gold Foil with Swiss Dots die. Adhere to front of card.
Also, add Violet DSP to the top of the card.
Adhere the Grape strip to the front, over the "seam".
Die cut label from Phrases & Frames Impressions die. Then, go back and run it through, again, with the Impressions mat.
Add to front of card, over Grape strip, with Dimensionals.
Die cut center oval from Shimmering Stripes DSP. Stamp with sentiment of your choice in Secret Sea Ink. Blot ink. Then, add to center of "label" with Dimensionals.
Next, die cut flowers in Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. Die cut all 3 leaves in Peaceful Pine.
Arrange die cuts onto front of card as shown.
Embellish flowers with Adhesive-Backed Blooms. I also added a small Freesia bow.
Finish the inside with layer of White. Add die cut leaves and flowers as desired. Center of flower was a Basic Rhinestone.
