I love butterflies, so the All Aflutter Bundle was an immediate add-to-cart for me. I think it goes beautifully with almost any paper, but the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP are so good for summer vibes right now.

Supplies (from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Card Base: Pool Party cardstock cut at 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" on the long side

Basic White Layer: 4" X 5-1/4"

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP: left to right 2" X 5-1/4", 7/8" X 5-1/4", 7/8" X 5-1/4"

Stamps: Cutest Crew for sentiment and All Aflutter Bundle for the Butterflies

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Basic Black

Punch: All Aflutter Punch

Other Supplies: Stampin' Dimensionals (to pop up the "sky" circle die cut), Stampin' Seal Adhesive Runner, Paper Trimmer

Circle die cuts are from the retired Spotlight on Nature Dies, but you can use any circles you have. Embellishment sequins are random old pieces I still had from retired a retired pack.

This is one of my favorite go-to card designs. I love that I get to have two large pieces of patterned paper and a good size focal point.

Butterflies On My Mind

I received a comment from someone recently on one of my Instagram posts that made me think that I should blog again. She asked if I ever share measurements or if I make video tutorials. I don't make videos because I haven't had the time or energy to learn how to edit. I suppose I could do live videos, but I also need to figure out a recording set up. My desk is very narrow and I don't currently have a cell phone stand or tripod. Baby steps, right? Blogging is easy.😉
