many thanks butterfly card

Designer: Lisa Truesdell
A beautiful mix of pastel colored butterflies seem to float across the front of this card. What a perfect way to say “thank you!” and bring a little spring cheer to someone’s mailbox.

Instructions
(Print version)
1. Trim kraft cardstock to 8.5x5.5in and fold into a 4.25x5.5in card.
2. Using the fingertip craft knife and a ruler, cut a 3.75x5in window in the front of the card.
3. Trim two pieces of transparency that measure just a smidge smaller that 4.25in x 5.5in.
4. Stamp polka dot pattern with light blue ink on purple patterned paper. Use the pop-up punch to punch butterflies from that paper.
5. Use pop-up punch to punch butterflies from other patterned papers.
6. Attach the butterflies to the transparency in a random pattern.
7. Layer the second transparency over the top of the butterflies. Use a small amount of adhesive along the edges and attach to the back of the window you made in the card. Stitch into place.
8. Punch a circle from green patterned paper. Attach to the middle of the card.
9. Punch 2 large butterflies from purple patterned paper – one with stamping and one without. Layer them on top of the green circle (put the un-stamped butterfly on the bottom). Stitch down the middle of the butterflies and bend the wings of the top butterfly back slightly.
10. Stamp sentiment on a strip of pink patterned paper and stitch into place along the edge of the card.
