Butterfly Pop & Flip Card

This is another neat fold shared by Dawn Griffith!!  She has THE most amazing folds!!  I had not done/seen this fold before, so, of course, I had to try it!  I was going to do this in my Butterfly Card Fold class this month, but with the papers gone, I am turning this into a Virtual Card Fold Class.  So stay tuned to some instructional videos!!

Measurements:  

• Just Jade: 1/2 sheet,  3" x 4" (mechanism), 3/4" x 2 1/4" (mechanism)
• Basic White:2" x 3", 4" x 5 1/4"
• Butterfly Bijou DSP (ret): 4" x 5 1/4"

To Make This Card

• Fold Just Jade card in half.  Attach White quarter to the inside.
• Attach DSP to front of card, around the outside edges only. Cut Stitched Oval from front of card.  Keep the cardstock oval, and discard the DSP 
• Cut smaller Stitched Oval from Basic White piece.  Layer onto Jade Oval.
• Score the 3" x 4" Jade piece at 1", 2", 3". Crease well.  Fold this piece in half. Add Tear & Tape to one outside 1" area, one of the ends. Flip this over and adhere to inside of card, with cut edge along fold of card. "Eyeball" this so it is centered behind the Oval opening.
• Keeping this piece folded in half, add Tear & Tape to the other "end" and close the card!  Voila the first mechanism/pop up!
• Now, take the 3/4" strip and scor at 1 1/4". Hold in half and crease well. Flip over so the longer side is up, and place Tear & Tape on this area. Close your card, and place this mechanism so the adhesive side is down, short side is up, and cut edge is against the oval. Press down.
• Now place some adhesive on the shorter side. Close card, and place cut oval in the opening and attach to the flap with the adhesive on it. Check to see that it works!!  Isn't it fun!!
• Finish by adding image to the front. As well as any sentiments.
• And I added a cut butterfly, and words to the inside as well.  
• My card wouldn't stay closed, so I added a clear velcro dot!

Butterfly Corner Flip

I saw a Valentine card done with this fold, but didn't have time to try it.  So, I decided to try it using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle...and now the paper is no longer available.  I guess I'll have to redo it using something NEW!! (I have some darling Pansies coming!) Stay tuned.  I am hoping to do more videos with these more detailed folds!!

Measurements:  

• Calypso Coral: 1/2 Sheet
• Basic White: 3 pcs - 4" x 5 1/4"
• DSP:3 3/4" x 5"

To Make This Card:

• Begin by making the corner "template". Take one of the Basic White pieces.  Measure along the short side 2 3/4" and place a mark.  Then, measure along the long side to 3 1/2" and make a mark.  Draw a line with a pencil, connecting the 2 marks. Cut along this line.  Save the triangle, and discard the rest of the piece. Use it for another card.
• Fold card base in half. Place "template" along upper left corner of card. Score along "pencil" line with Bone Folder.  It should lightly transfer to the back side.  Flip card front over and repeat for the back side. Now, carefully fold along score lines, inverting the corner to the inside of card.
• Take one of the other Basic White pieces. and lay inside the card, leaving an 1/8" border.  Mark the score line and trim this piece.  Trim approx 1/8" from the cut edge.  Check for fit.  Take the small corner you removed, and fit to the upper triangle. The inside layering is done!
• To layer the outside.  Repeat with the Basic White piece. Using the scored/folded edge as a guide to cut your White layer, and then repeating with the DSP layer.  Always allowing for an 1/8" border!!
• Decorate front as desired.
• Some will also place DSP on the upper, inside flap of card.  Your choice!!

Butterfly Brilliance meets Forever Greenery

I hope you love the new Butterfly Bouquet Bundle, because Mom and I were creating fiends over the weekend!  Such a versatile set, with so many possibilities.  Well worth the investment!! This sample is a stamped butterfly colored in to coordinate with the Forever Greenery DSP.  So simple and yet, so elegant, that can be used for so many occasions!

Measurements:  

• Old Olive: 1/2 sheet, 2" x 3 1/2" 
• Forever Greenery DSP: 4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White: 2" x 2 1/2" (Butterfly), 1 1/4" x 3" (sentiment)

To Make This Card:

• Attach DSP to folded Old Olive card.
• Ink up butterflies in Memento ink and stamp onto a half sheet of Basic White. I use my Stamparatus for this in case I need to reink. Cut out with dies.  Save other butterflies for other projects!  It's good to have them ready!!
• Take selected Butterfly and color with Blends as shown.  To create a Pear Pizzazz color, I color first in Daffodil Delight, and then colored over it with Old Olive.
• Cut detail label from Ornate Frames in Old Olive.  Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso, and cut out with smooth label from the Ornate Frames. Adhere together and add to bottom of card with Dimensionals.
• Shape "butterfly" with Bone Folder and attach to card with rolled Mini Glue Dots.  
• Finish with scattered green Rhinestones and Wink of Stella on the "butterfly" wings.
