Our Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop! I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s Incentive Trip Reward and I am happy to have joined the top 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who have or will earn the Norway Cruise Incentive Trip for next year! Our blog hop theme this month is ANYTHING CURRENT!
BEST BUTTERFLIES
I wanted to use the butterfly wings a little different way, so I created a flower out of them!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 4 piece of Butterfly Kisses Designer Paper was torn across diagonally.
- The DSP was adhered to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock and added to the front of the base card.
- The greeting from Best Butterflies stamp set was stamped with Starry Sky Ink.
- The chevron butterfly wings were cut three times from Fresh Freesia cardstock. The outlines of the wings were cut three times from Daffodil Delight cardstock. They were adhered together, then each “wing” was cut apart for the petals.
- The smallest Stylish Shapes circle was cut TWICE from Daffodil Delight cardstsock. On one, the petals were individually adhered to support them. The other covered the front of the petals for the center of the flower.
- The diamond wings were stamped with Parakeet Party Ink on Parakeet Party cardstock, then cut with the wing outline, to make the leaves.
- The flower and leaves were added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- An orange Fun Flower was added to the center of the flower.
