Cut 3, small stitched squares from Basic White. Attach to card, flat, as shown.
"Fussy cut" 3 small butterflies of your choice. Shape the wings a little with a Bone Folder, and attach to card with rolled Mini Glue Dots.

Butterfly Pieced Triangle Card

Having conquered the Pieced Triangle Card using the Oh So Ombre DSP, I decided to try my hand with a "directional" DSP. It's really pretty neat, you just need to pay attention to the direction of the DSP as you make your diagonal cuts.

Measurements:

So Saffron:1/2 sheet
Basic Black: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5"
Butterfly Bijou DSP (N): 1 pc - 3" x 6", 1 large Yellow Butterfly
Subtles DSP: 1 pc So Saffron pattern 3" x 6"

To Make This Card:

Score 3 3/4" x 5" black piece in half at 1 7/8" and 2 1/2". You will use these score lines for placement.
Cut the 2 - 3" x 6" DSP pieces in half, creating 4 - 3" x 3" squares. Separate into 2 3" squares of each pattern.
Take the 2 small "butterfly" pieces that you are using for this card, and cut diagonally, paying attention to the directions of the butterflies and the placement on the card. Lay them out on the black placement piece.
The 2 Saffron pieces just cut diagonally, and lay out with the "butterflies".
Now, take one of the first "butterfly" triangles. Attach adhesive to the point end of the DSP. Attach to the smaller base along the score line - 1/16" away, with the point to the center. (see pix for placement).
Now, take one of the other, solid triangles. Repeat with adhesive, and attach to base as shown, with the point at the center as shown. Repeat for the other 3 areas.
Now, flip this piece over, and trim off excess DSP. Trimming next to cardstock base. Toss these pieces!
Attach this decorative piece to the corresponding "quarter" - which will complete the 1/8" border around it all! So clever!!
Then, attach to folded So Saffron Card.
Finish by decorating the center, to hide the points, that may not entirely match!
For this card, I used one of the large, Saffron butterflies to finish the card.

Glitter Butterfly Side Pull-Out Card

I've had requests to do this card fold in a class, so we will be doing this card, next week, in my Set of the Month Class using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle!

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 5 1/4" x 8", 3" square
Ornate Garden DSP: A - 4" x 5 1/4", B - 2" x 5 1/4", 1/2" strips
Gold Foil: 3" square

To Make This Card

Fold Bermuda Bay card base in half. Attach Ornate Garden DSP quarter to front along outside edges only.
Cut largest scallop circle through both layers on front of card. Discard DSP piece, and set Bermuda Bay piece aside to use later.
Fold Basic White card in half, and then again in half, back on itself, creating a "Z" fold. Crease well. Flip over so the "Z" is on the right, and adhere "base" to inside of Bermuda Bay card. Attach DSP strip to outside (or inside) narrow panel.
Close card. Place adhesive on part of the "z" fold that is showing through the circle. Take the scallop circle that you removed from the front and adhere through the opening, lining up the scallops. Add a Gold Foil scallop circle cut from the next size scallop circle.
Cut out White Circle. Set aside.
Cut "detail" butterfly from Rainbow Glimmer Paper in area of your choice. Shape wings a little, and attach to White Circle with rolled Mini Glue Dotes. Attach to scalloped circles on front of card.
Attach 1/2" strips of DSP to inside of card, if desired.
Finish with Embellishment of your choice on the center circle!
