Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is celebrating a beautiful butterfly!

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES
So easy to grab my new Beautiful Butterfly stamp set that was free during Sale-A-Bration, but is still in the catalog! It made the perfect butterfly for today’s card!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Balmy Blue cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3-3/4 x 5 piece of the Pretty in Pink stripe pattern in the 2024-26 In Color 6×6 Designer Paper was stamped with the butterfly wing (looks like a flower to me!) in Pretty Ink Pink Ink randomly over the background. It was adhered to the base card.
- A 1 x 3-3/4 piece of Balmy Blue cardstock was stamped with the greeting in Beautiful Butterflies with Memento Black Ink and adhered to the front.
- The Gold Open Weave Trim was doubled and adhered to the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Beautiful Butterflies image was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Balmy Blue Combo, Azure Afternoon Combo Stampin’ Blends from light to dark. It was hand-cut and added to the Trim with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two large Two-Tone Sparkle Gems were added to the body and one small next to the greeting for a little bling!

I love the look the stamped background created on the stripe DSP! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
