BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE POP UP

February 16, 2021

This is a brand NEW set that Stampin' Up! will introduce in March to all our customers. It has some amazing dies that cut out both the images and a layer to accent the images. In this blog post I will introduce you to a different stamp set and a unique card layout. I hope you enjoy the post.



Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Gray Granite, score @ 4 1/4

Cut 5 1/4 x 4  Basic White, cut the largest circle you can in the center of this. You want the circle to be at least 3 1/2", attach to Gray Granite

Cut 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 Designer Series Paper, adhere to Basic White, placing adhesive on outer edges only

Cut 3 1/8" x 5 1/4" Designer Series Paper, attach to inside top portion of the card base, placing adhesive only on the two upper corners

Cut the circle in the front using the largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies, remove the patterned paper from both sides of the circle, cut with the next smaller circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies

Cut Basic White Circle using the largest circle from Stitched Shapes Dies

Cut a 4" x 5" Gray Granite, on 5" side, score at 2", 3", and 4", on 4 inch side, at 1/2" cut to the 1" (1st score line), move to 3 1/2" cut to the first score line, cut along the score line between the two cut lines, keep this piece, score @ 1 1/2

Accordion fold the 4" x 5" scored piece along the score lines, and then adhere the 3/4" x 2 1/2" piece to the center of the top one inch fold



Adhere the 2 inch base of the folded piece of cardstock to the bottom, inside base of the card, placing the first fold line 1 inch from the center fold of the card base

Fold the accordion piece of cardstock so that it is flat on the inside base of the card. Place adhesive onto the top of the 1/2" x 1" edge flaps, pull up the DSP and close the card on top of these flaps

Glue down the DSP on the inside to cover the mechanism

With the card in the closed position, fold the center tab along the score line, and place adhesive onto the top of the tab

Adhere the Basic White circle onto the tab, lining it up with the hole on the front of the card

Cut out the butterflies from Butterfly Brilliance Bundle

Cut 3 x 5 1/4 Basic White and attach to the bottom inside of the card to cover the mechanism, stamp greeting

Create a sweet and elegant birthday card with the July 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Hooray for Birthdays kit! For this alternate design, I paired the soft pastel plaid patterns in a simple pinwheel layout on a Basic Black card base, creating a striking contrast that really makes the delicate florals stand out. The layered die-cut flowers are arranged on a stitched circle with a touch of gold cord tucked behind for added texture and elegance. A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special. This easy alternate project is a wonderful way to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kit supplies and create a beautiful card with a fresh, modern look. The Hooray for Birthdays kit features gorgeous floral elements and coordinating embellishments, making it easy to create unique birthday cards you'll love to give.
