Tutorial Tuesday: 3-D Butterfly Card

Tue, Apr 27, 2010

Cards, Paper Crafts

Spring is in the air!  (OK, well, almost…it was only in the 40′s today in Chicago.) But we’ve got to think positive thoughts, right?!?  Here’s a quick card to make!

Butterfly Card

Supplies:

Stamps: Furnishing Fun Stamp Set

Paper: American Crafts paper, white vellum (source unknown…my scrap pile!)

Embellishments: Opal Pearl Paint

Adhesives: Vellum Tape, Permanent Tape, and Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives

This card is a standard size of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.  To make the 3D part, cut a piece of vellum that’s 5″ x 2″.  Score both ends of the vellum 3/8″ in from the side.  (This will make a little flap to adhere your vellum tape to.)

Fold and place adhesive, and adhere to card.  (The picture is looking down from the top.  See how the vellum “pops” out a little?)

Embellish and attach butterfly cutouts.  (I used some butterflies cut from the Cricut Storybook Cartridge but you could use chipboard or punched butterflies just as easily!)
