Butterfly Beauty Thinlits

Beauty Abounds is a stamp set that is in the Stampin’ Up!® 2019 Occasions Catalogs. It has an amazing set of dies called Butterfly Beauty Thinlits. If you have not seen these dies, you need to look at them. There are 20 dies in this set and two of them go together to make a huge image of butterflies. If you buy the stamp set and the dies together in a Bundle, you can save 10%.

The colors I used for this card are Gray Granite, Merry Merlot and Night of Navy. These colors are part of the Neutrals family of inks and they all look gorgeous together. I always have a hard time picking out colors but Stampin’ Up!® makes it easy by putting their colors together in a group. Another way to discover colors that go together is to look at the Stampin’ Up!® catalogs at their Designer Series Paper. They come up with some great colors that I would never think of.

This is a very quick and easy card to make. I first stamped the bubbles in all three colors and also stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot. I stamped the butterflies in Night of Navy and Merry Merlot and cut them out using the matching dies. The whole card took longer deciding on the colors than it did to make it.

Today is my sister, Katherine’s birthday. I did not give her this card for her birthday! I made her another card but I forgot to take a picture of it so she gets to enjoy it all by herself. Katherine is an amazing woman. We all her the Pioneer Woman. She lost her husband to Glioblastoma a little over a year ago and has been coping with life alone ever since. He died during the winter and all of a sudden Katherine had to shovel, plow, feed the birds, garden, move, sell her house and do all those everyday things by herself. It has been tough but she is tough and can handle it.

I made this card using a new set of dies in the 2019 Occasions Catalog called Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies. These dies are such fun! There are actually two in this set that make the one image on the card. They layer together to give the butterflies a two toned 3D kind of look. There are also 18 other dies in this set. These dies do have an awesome matching stamp set called Beauty Abounds. I didn’t use it on this card but it is a must have. If you buy them both in a Bundle, you can save 10%.

To make this card I first cut out the bottom layer of the butterflies with Calypso Coral cardstock and the top layer in Blushing Bride. Then I just adhered them together using Multipurpose Glue on Basic Black cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set called Itty Bitty Birthdays. This set is also in the Occasions Catalog and has 16 different stamp sets that are birthday related. I first stamped this in Versamark and then embossed it using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and my Heat Tool. It is a simple card but looks more complicated.

Here is to my Pioneer Woman sister, Katherine. I hope you have a wonderful birthday because you are a wonderful person!
