Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! I don’t want to make you jealous so…I will NOT tell you that I’m going to get to see the new September – December 2026 Catalog this afternoon!! Whoohooo! Just another perk of being a demonstrator! And next week – I’ll be PRE-ordering from that catalog AND the September 2026 Online Exclusives. An even BETTER perk of being a demonstrator! Y’all will be able to order from both on 1 Sept so…time to start getting excited!
Today’s card features something old and something new! Cute as a Bug DSP and the Sweet Bugs stamp set pair up with the new Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (with their included masks!) to make a summery card for a friend. Take a look-see:
I pulled some elements for this card from the current Tic-Tac-Toe challenge board. I went across the top (fruit – Patterned Paper – Summer Colors); across the diagonal (fruit – die cut – stencil).
I started by adhering a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Cute as a Bug DSP to the front of a Very Vanilla card base using Liquid Glue.
Then I matted a 3″ x 4 1/4″ piece of flower-strewn Cute as a Bug DSP to a 3 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System and gold Stampin’ Hot Foil to foil the Butterfly Flight butterflies to a Basic White panel.
Using the masks in the Butterfly Flight bundle and Small Blending Brushes, I added Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Blackberry Bliss ink to the butterflies. I only added Blackberry Bliss to small parts of a couple of butterflies – using sticky notes to further mask off the images.
When I was done…
…I used the large cutting die to cut out the five butterflies.
I used the foliage dies in the set to cut leaves from Mossy Meadow Two-toned Cardstock – 3 with the dark side up and 2 with the light side up.
I stamped a Sweet Bugs sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut it out with the second-from-largest Stylish Shapes circle die.
I adhered the sentiment circle to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the butterflies and die cut foliage to the card front. Note: there are two leaves under the top two sets of butterflies and one under the bottom butterfly.
I added some Old Olive Moody Palette Glossy Dots and the card front was done.
For the inside, I stamped a Sweet Bugs sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink on a Very Vanilla panel. In the corner, I stamped the little grass & flower image in Mossy Meadow – and colored the flower with the Light Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend. Then I stamped the bee in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored him with the Light Basic Black and Light & Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Sweet Bugs “scene” on the front…
…and more of the Cute as a Bug DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well – if these Butterfly Flight butterflies don’t make you think of a garden (maybe even YOUR garden!) in the summer – then..I don’t know what will! The Cute as a Bug DSP sets the stage and a couple of fun sentiments and images from the coordinating Sweet Bugs stamp set bring it all home! I love that the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies set includes MASKS – another cool way to color these beautiful flutterbies!
I hope you like! 🙂
