Best of Butterflies

Sorry I missed a day this week!  Shock and dismay!!  But working for the Royals can make blogging a bit tricky....so back on track again this week with great projects from the Mini catalog.  But first I wanted to share this Thank you card made with "Best of Butterflies".  I love Butterflies and I know lots of you do also, this month's THANK YOU card for orders is today's card.

One of my favorite colors is retiring, Certainly Celery.  The card base is Certainly Celery and the Whisper White mat is cut at 4 X 5.  I stamped the largest Butterfly in Calypso Coral, the next largest in Daffodil delight and the smallest in Certainly Celery.  We have made Triple Stack cards before and I am not sure if this technique has a name, but I call it Triple Panel.  After stamping all the Butterflies, I cut the panels at 1 5/8 inches.  Start at one side and adhere the first panel, positioning evenly, leaving a 1/4 inch border.  Here is another picture:

Add the middle panel and the last.  The Sentiment from Round Array was stamped in Certainly Celery ink on Whisper White card stock and punched with the 7/8 Scallop Circle punch.  Daffodil Delight card stock was punched with the 1 1/4 Scallop Circle punch.  Crepe Filter paper was punched with the 1 3/4 Scallop Circle punch.  When punching Crepe Filter paper, layer over card stock.  This prevents tearing.  See my example below:

Save your cardstock punch for another project.  Crumple the Crepe Filter paper.

Pop up the Thank You on the Daffodil Delight.  Spread out the Crepe Filter paper and use a glue dot to adhere to the Daffodil Delight circle.  Adhere all the layers to the card using 2 glue dots!
