Nature's Symphony Wood Grain Happy Birthday

Nature's Symphony Bundle + Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set + Stylish Shapes Dies

I made this card for John's birthday! John has a strong opinion about cards that use a lot of layers and dimensionals.... So I tend to cater to what he prefers.

To create this card I heat embossed the base branch in gold. Then I layered a detailed die cut branch that was cut from DSP. The sentiment is also gold heat embossed. Really a pretty easy card to make and it fit my John just perfectly.

I am not providing a picture of the inner card, because I wrote in it before I took the picture!! LOL

Butterfly Flight Happy Birthday Card

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies + Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies + Everyday Arches Dies

My second card using the new Stampin' Up! Hot Foiling System! So far so good! Coloring the butterflies using the masks is so easy and just so beautiful!!

There are loads of videos on how to use this system.... and if you buy the system now, you will also receive the free virtual class. Click HERE for the e-brochure of products being offered right now.

The foil does have a different look if you use the two-toned cardstock versus the milled cardstock. The two-toned cardstock has a smoother finish and the milled cardstock has a bit of a texture. Personally I like the look of both.

Let me know if you have any questions about this process! I would be more than happy to offer guidance.

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies + Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies + Everyday Arches Dies

I wanted my butterflies to coordinate with the colors in the Moonlit Flora DSP, so I used Soft Sea Foam & Peaceful Pine inks with a blending brush to add color to these gold foil butterflies. The Dewdrop dots add just the right amount of subtle accent, without "fighting" with the gold foiling. One of my favorite detail is to beautify the inside of my cards. For this card I used one of the Everyday Arches dies to cut the inner message liner to match the outer card front. Then I added one single butterfly to the top of the message liner. So pretty!

Inner View

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Front matte layer - Basic White: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", use the largest arch die to cut.
Card front layer - DSP: 4" x 5 1/4", use the second largest arch die to cut.
Butterflies - White Willow: 4" x 5", this will allow for all 5 butterflies to be hot foiled and die cut.
Sentiment - White Willow: 2 5/8" x 3 5/8", this will allow for the hot foil process and die cut.
Inner message liner - Basic White: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Assembly Instructions:

Adhere card front DSP to front matte layer. Adhere to front of card base using dimensionals.
Using the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies, heat die using the Stampin' Up!® Hot Foil System. Layer foil on face down, add cardstock, shim and plate. Transfer to Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and slowly crank through. Peel foil off of cardstock.
Using coordinating masks, line up masks to the butterflies. I used Soft Sea Foam and Peaceful Pine on each of the layers. Using cutting die, die cut butterflies apart. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
Using the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies, heat die using the Stampin' Up!® Hot Foil System. Layer foil on face down, add cardstock, shim and plate. Transfer to Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and slowly crank through. Peel foil off of cardstock. Using cutting die, die cut silhouette. Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
Scatter dots on cardfront.
Adhere inner message liner to inner card base. Adhere one butterfly at top of message liner.
