Come see how to make these butterfly themed cards with new Brass and Bliss products from the “Botanical Daydreams” March Release.

Today I am sharing two pretty butterfly cards that I paired with flowers and that would be perfect for almost any occasion. I love the Botanical Daydreams 6×9 paper pad. The larger size paper allowed me to use one sheet to make two cards.

To make the first of the butterfly themed cards I used the Sideview Monarch Butterfly, Classic Nested Oval, Nested Scallop Oval, Mixable Flower Stack, Large Ivy, Tiny Flowers #2, Botanical Daydreams 6×9 Paper Pad.

Card Base and Frame

Cut the A2 sized card base and a piece of 5.25″ x 4.00″ designer paper.
Attach the designer paper to the card base using double stick tape.
Cut the scallop oval layer and leave it on the cutting platform.
Line up a regular oval die, secure it in place and cut to create the frame.
Apply pieces of mounting tape all the way around the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.

Butterfly

Cut two sections of the decorative monarch using two different color.
Cut one section of the base.
Offset and attach the two colored butterfly section together using glossy accents.
Attach the base to the back using glossy accents.

Flowers and Foliage

Cut the flowers using two different colors of cardstock.
Use green cardstock to cut the ivy sections.
Place the larger flower sections face down on the molding pad and push down on the petals with a round stylus.
Turn the flower sections face up on the pad and push down in the center with a small tipped stylus to push the petals up.
Attach the flower sections together with glossy accents and attach it to the card base using glossy accents.
Place the tiny flower face up on the molding pad and push down in the centers using a small tipped stylus.
Tuck sections of the ivy under and around the flower and attach in place with glossy accents.
Finish by attaching the tiny flowers to the ivy using glossy accents.

To make the second of the butterfly themed cards I used the Monarch Butterfly, Botanical Daydreams 6×9 Paper Pad, Nested Square Scallop, Classic Nested Square, Tiny Flowers #2, Spring Garden Starter.

Card Base and Frame

Cut a 5.50″ square card base and a 5.00″ square layer of designer paper.
Attach the layer to the base using double stick tape.
Cut the scallop square layer and leave it on the cutting platform.
Line up a regular square die, secure it in place and cut to create the frame.
Apply pieces of mounting tape all the way around the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.

Monarch and Flowers

Cut one section of the top butterfly section and one of the base.
Attach them together and attach to the card base using glossy accents.
Cut several tiny flowers, place them face up on the molding pad and push down in the center using a small tipped stylus.
Cut several sections of the green foliage stems and attach three tiny flowers to each using glossy accents.
Begin attaching the stems of flowers to the butterfly using glossy accents and continue adding to create the delicate floral arrangement.
