Butterfly Box to Celebrate Spring!

 

Celebrated spring today with stampin' friends by making some projects with the Butterfly Brilliance Collection!  These little treat boxes would surely brighten someone's day. The Butterfly Brillance stamp set and Brilliant Wings Dies (along with the 10% discounted Bundle) are early release products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Unfortunately, the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper is sold out, but I'm sure there will be another beautiful coordinating Designer Series Paper in the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!  It will be released in May, but we Demonstrators will get to see it next week!  And we get to preorder products in April!  Like the new 2021-2023 In Colors!

Now on to the details of my project...my inspiration came from those insect exhibit case displays and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper was the perfect backdrop.  I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to fully pop up my Stitched Rectangle frame.

The ribbon pull was made with the Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Terracotta Tile...an In Color 2019-2021which will be retiring soon!  You can see below how I created the ribbon pull by punching a hole in the side of the box, threading both ends of the ribbon through the hole, and tying a knot on the inside to secure it.

Don't forget that your purchase of any butterfly products during the month 

of March will be part of my current Craft for a Cause initiative.  

Your participation will help me in raising funds to plant wildflowers in The Woodland Walk at Raven Glen Forest Preserve, which is a specified quarter-mile walk that is dedicated to all children and siblings who have left us too soon.  The Northern Lake County Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, in partnership with the Lake County Forest Preserve District, is working toward restoring the wooded walk with trees, shrubs, flowers, and benches.  For each planting that is dedicated to an individual, an engraved nameplate will be added to the plaque " Our Children Remembered".  My goal is to raise enough funds to have five nameplates for the five families that I personally know who have lost a little angel.   

When you purchase any of the items from the Butterfly Brillance Collection (or any current Butterfly stamp set/punch/die), I will donate 20% of the sale to the Woodland Walk Memorial. Scroll down to see the items available and please use the Host Code shown here.

Butterfly Pop-Up Card

Tonight during my Tuesday Night Stampin' Club Facebook LIVE I made a fun fold card....a V-fold Pop Up Card!  A Demonstrator friend of mine posted a V-fold card this morning and I knew right when I saw it that I had to make one of these pop-up cards using the Butterfly Brillance Collection!

You can watch the replay below to see how I made the card and some tips on scoring with your bone folder and cutting your Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.  Keep on reading for instructions and supplies used.

HOW TO MAKE A V-FOLD POP-UP CARD

1. Start with a Basic White Card Base cut at 8" x 5-1/4"
2. Score at 4" to fold the card in half.
3. Mark 2" down from the top on the center score line.
4. Use a ruler to line up the top corner and center mark 2" down and score with a bone folder.  Use a foam mat underneath to get a deep score line.
5. Do the same from the other top corner to the center score line mark.
6. Fold on the score lines to create a V that will fold into the card as shown below.
7. Adhere an element to the right side of the center fold taking care that it will fit inside of the card.

I absolutely LOVE the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and it is only available until May 3 or while supplies last!  A circle punched out of the Natural Touch Specialty Paper really adds a nice organic feeling to the card.  That too is exclusive to the Butterfly Bouquet Promotion from now until May 3.
