Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table – I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
The Best Butterfly Bundle was not at the top of my list when I first saw the catalog. I mean – I thought it was cute, no doubt. But…maybe…TOO cute??! I finally decided to give it a chance – along with the other goodies in the Suite. And boy am I glad I did cuz it is SO much fun to play with! And – I also pulled out the newest goodie I’ve been so excited to use…the new Deckled Rectangle Dies!! Take a look-see:
And here’s our sketch!
My color palette was inspired by the color challenge at The Paper Players this week.
I started by cutting a piece of Basic White cardstock with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die and then embossing it in the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the embossed panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base.
I cut two pieces of the Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ DSP with the fourth-from-the-largest Deckled Rectangle die. I adhered the bottom rectangle with Liquid Glue and popped the top one on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, I stamped the Best Butterflies sentiment in Starry Night ink and cut it with the smallest Deckled Rectangle. Then I popped the sentiment on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To make the butterfly, I cut two wing dies – with their “inner” die in place – from Basic White to make the two detailed wing pieces. Then I used the outer “outline” die by itself to cut two more wings – these from the Butterfly Kisses DSP. I used Liquid Glue to adhere the white pieces to their corresponding DSP pieces.
I cut the larger butterfly body from a piece of Starry Night 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the two wings to the underside of the body.
I popped the butterfly onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a bow made from two lengths of 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine in Parakeet Party and adhered it with a Glue Dot. A few Trinket Adhesive-Backed Flowers finished off the card front!
On the inside, I stamped a second Best Butterflies sentiment in Starry Sky on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped a butterfly in Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia and Starry Sky. I brushed the body with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush. I used the dots image to add stamped-off-once Fresh Freesia all around!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Fresh Freesia mat and into the Thick Basic White cardbase and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Best Butterflies butterfly and dots on the front…
…and more of the Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Okay – I’m not a math whiz, but…I think there’s about a zillion different flutterbies you can make with this uber-fun Best Butterflies stamp set and the bundled Butterfly Builder dies! Add the Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ DSP and…you’ve got the makings of tons and tons of fun projects! And the Deckled Dies. The. Deckled. Dies. Wow wow and also…WOW! I LOVE them SO much!!
I hope you like!

Super cute card! I am loving this bundle! TFS
Thanks, Tara! 🙂
Such a fun card Mary 🙂 Love that DSP. I haven’t gotten that butterfly set yet, looks like it might be on my next order. LOVE it!!
Yep – you NEED it, Karen! Thanks so much! 🙂
Very pretty. Great use of DSPs and embossing folder. Somehow I overlooked the Deckled rectangle dies. Might just have to get them…can’t have too many dies!
They’re AWESOME!! Thanks, Julie! 🙂
Very nice. I love the inside sentiment. I’m still on the fence for the Deckled Rectangles.
Oh – I think you need them, Karen – they’re amazing and let you “tear” an edge without having to actually..TEAR anything!! Thanks so much! 🙂
So sweet, fun and happy! 😊
Thank you, Akiko! 🙂
So cute! Love those butterfly dies, that background papers are awesome too! 🙂
Thanks, Amy! 🙂
I love your card! This bundle is on my wish list!
Thanks so much, Tracy – it’s super cute, for sure! 🙂
Super cute card, Mary! I got the patterned paper but not the stamps or dies for this suite–I love the patterns and colors! I like that these butterflies look different than any other ones SU! has had that I can recall. Love how you used the patterned paper for the wings with the white on top. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players!
Thank you Christy – I appreciate you coming by! 🙂
Those butterflies are so fun Mary – I love the papers and the sentiments too! Thanks for joining with my colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
Thanks much – appreciate you stopping by, Joanne!! 🙂
Bright, cheery and so much fun, Mary! Thanks so much for joining us this week over at The Paper Players!
Thanks, Anne Marie! 🙂
