#tgifc200 Bunches of Butterflies with Beauty Abounds
TGIF! It’s Time for Butterflies!
The Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs are filled with one of my favorite images to craft with…Butterflies. Today my creation features the Beauty Abounds Bundle. This bundle is the BOMB! Two zips through the Big Shot and you have one detailed masterpiece with very little effort.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Basic Black Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of the black and white polka dot Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4″. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Use an Aqua Painter to create an ombre watercolor palette of the following colors: Pacific Point, Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, & Balmy Blue. Zip through the Big Shot with the Precision Base Plate & Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Die (larger, less detailed, bottom). Crop a piece of Vellum Cardstock with the Big Shot, Precision Base Plate & Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Die (more detailed, top). Adhere with Mini Glue Dots or small bits of Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Vellum Cardstock to 4 x 5 1/4″. Adhere the die-cut butterfly to the Vellum and the Vellum to the card base with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals hidden behind the largest areas of the butterflies.
- Stamp the Happy sentiment (Well Said Stamp Set) in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, & Bumch of Banners Framelits dies…trimming to needed size. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crop the birthday sentiment using the Big Shot and Well Written Framelits Dies. Adhere with bits of Snail Adhesive.
- Add Black Best Route Enamel shapes to the butterflies as shown.
- Add a Petal Pink In Color Flower Button that has been threaded with Basic Black Solid Baker’s Twine and secured with a bow. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Do you have the Beauty Abounds Bundle in your stash of paper crafting supplies? If not, what are you waiting for? It is amazing how so little work can add such an amazing WOW factor to a creation…it is a must-have in my mind.
Vellum Cardstock is one of my go-to products, it adds a softness that speaks Spring, which after these last few weeks of Wisconsin getting pummeled with snow and cold, I am welcoming with open arms.

Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop: Well Said Bundle
Welcome to the February 2019 Artisan Blog Hop!
The Stampin’ Up! 2019 Artisan Design Team has so many amazing creations for you to see! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs! This blog hop will feature the Well Said and Dear Doily Bundles from the 2019 Occasions Catalog! WARNING: GORGEOUSNESS AHEAD!
If this is your first time stopping by my blog, I truly want to thank you for being here! I am so very honored. I do my best to provide inspiration as well as step-by-step instructions to my creations so that you can make them too! You can view my PDF Tutorial Library Here. You can also subscribe to my Newsletter and Blog Updates so you don’t miss out on future posts!
The Dear Doily Bundle pairs so well with the Well Said Bundle. I hadn’t considered these two as a duo until I sat down to create. I love how they compliment each other and will be using them together on future creations.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- NOTE: I used Gorgeous Grape, Petal Pink, and Pear Pizzazz. I will reference as “color” in the instructions below.
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of color cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″. Smooch with color, allow to dry. Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Tip: Don’t know what the smooching technique is? You can download my step-by-step tutorial here: Smooching Technique
- Zip a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of Vellum Cardstock, spritzed with water from a Stampin’ Sprizter, through the Big Shot. tucked inside the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card with Snail adhesive.
- Stamp the floral image in color onto Shimmery White Cardstock. (1st and 2nd Generation Stamping, meaning, do not re-ink the image for the 2nd impression). Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and coordinating die from the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies. Adhere as shown with Mini Glue Dots.
- Cut 4 1/4″ pieces of ribbon, adhere with Snail Adhesive. I used: Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon, Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon (2 pieces), Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8″ Variegated Ribbon.
- Crop a piece Vellum Cardstock with the Pretty Label Punch. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right-hand side (to keep the Dimensionals hidden).
- Use a Stamparatus to stamp the largest doily image in Versamark Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess, and set with a Heat Tool. Add color with an Aqua Painter, creating an ombre effect by adding more color to the top than the bottom. Snip with a Paper Snips. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Use the Big Shot, Well Written Framelits Dies to crop the sentiment in Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere as shown with bits of Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the sentiment (Well Said Stamp Set) in Versamark onto Basic Black Cardstock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. Crop with the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies. Note: Be cognizant of which side you want the sentiment to sit. Trim off the excess cardstock and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add coordinating Frosted Flower Embellishments. Adhere a Pearl Basic Jewel to the center of the flower with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

The Vellum Cardstock embossed with the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is to die for! It adds softness and texture to the cards, which I LOVE!
Petal Pink with a smidgeon of Basic Black, what a jaw-dropping combination, don’t you think? I love how bold the sentiment is against the soft colors, thank you Basic Black! 🙂
The Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8″ Variegated Ribbon is one of my FAVORITES! It drapes like silk and is so stunning in color. It set the tone for the card above, such a lovely addition to the Petal Pink family.

Pear Pizzazz! Such a pretty color and so expressive when used in watercolor. The Shimmer Ribbon is gorgeous and I don’t grab it enough. The clear Frosted Flower Embellishments added the perfect touch to complete the card.

This set has been so popular that the punch is currently on “not orderable” status until the manufacturer can keep up and get us product. This will be back in stock, but no date has been set as of yet. I will be sure to inform you when the punch is available again. The stamp set is available and you can add it to your collection today if you like.

The colors that I used on the butterflies were inspired by ribbon that I had received on a gift from one of my downline. Pacific Point, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Lemon Lime Twist, & Pineapple Punch pair well together for a bright and colorful butterfly.
Heat embossing sentiments
The Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins paired perfectly with the bold colors used in the butterflies. With both flat and iridescent options in the package, they can add just the right touch to any creation.
I created a full-sized and 3x3 note card to show how one butterfly can really make a statement. The diagonal striped black and white peeking out from behind the card front is the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and can be earned FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration (through March 31st or While Supplies Last).
3x3 note cards are the perfect size to slip inside a lunch box, bathroom bag, or backpack. Add a little note to show a loved one you care.
The Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are easy to decorate and accommodate so many different gift options, they are ideal for so many occasions. I filled these with my kiddos leftover sour patch kids with matched the colors of the butterflies.
