Happy Monday!
Yesterday I shared a card I made using the Move Me Thinlits Dies. These thinlits were not on my original “want to have” list but after seeing numerous cards using the butterfly die, I was hooked!

This is not your ordinary set of dies! Using the die in the upper right hand corner will create an interactive card with a stamped image that appears to flutter. Yes, flutter! (You can see it in action in the video below!)

Welcome to my new and improved blog! For many months now my blog, behind the scenes, just hasn’t been working correctly. When I found someone who could help me, I decided to refresh my banner and the overall look and feel of my blog. I couldn’t be happier! Christina Celona did a wonderful job and was so easy to work with!
Onto today’s card! The star of this card is the gorgeous Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper. You have to see this paper in person as pictures just don’t do it justice! It’s really heavy too so it would be great for creating boxes or bags.

The butterfly on my card was made using a new set of Framelits for the Big Shot called Move Me. I’m a sucker for anything with butterflies.
My sentiment is from the stamp set Awesomely Artistic. I heat embossed “Friend” onto a piece of Basic Black and then cut it out with one of the dies in the Bunch of Banners Framelits. The small die worked perfectly for this word!
The brand new Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were just the right size for the back of the butterfly.

This really is an easy card to create and the Foil Frenzy DSP is stunning! If you’d like to purchase any of the products I used to make today’s card, click on any of the items below and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store!

Just a quick note to let you know that I won’t be posting again until Saturday or Sunday. Normally I post on Fridays and Saturdays but my blog is getting a refresh!! I’ll have a new banner and the blog will have a different feel to it! I’m very excited! I think it will be set to go live sometime Friday or perhaps Saturday. I hope you’ll stop by and see my new look!

Yesterday I posted the Gate Fold Card I made using the new DSP Naturally Eclectic. I made the card specifically so that I could put a gift card inside and I gave it to a male. I’ll admit that most of the cards I make are usually given to a women so I had to go through my stash of paper to pick a sheet of paper that wasn’t too girlie.
I did promise that I’d have a picture tutorial and I’m sorry that I’m posting it late today. My husband and I went away for a few days, just the two of us, and I wasn’t able to get this done once we got home. Fun can be exhausting!
I really think you’ll enjoy making this card. If you give it a try, I’d LOVE it if you’d email me a picture! Let’s get started!
