Beautiful Butterflies Shaped Card

I’m a huge fan of Stampin’ Up!’s hybrid embossing folders. These unique folders allow you to both emboss and die cut at the same time. But when I discovered that the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle also created shaped cards, I was sold. Find this bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.

Measurements and Details

Aren’t these cards super cute? Here are a few details to help you make this at home.

Stampin’ Up! designed its Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes to use with the shape-maker die. (Receive 20 precut and scored note cards and envelopes for just $10).
Fold the note card in half, place the die on top of both layers, lining up the top of the die just above the folded note card. Be sure to watch the video below to see exactly how this works.
Choose an patterned paper and cut it to 5 x 3 1/2. I used the Floral Delight 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
Place the die cut on the patterned paper to get the butterfly layer.
Glue the Designer Series Paper to the white note card. I found that using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue gave me time to get the die cut straight on the card.
Die cut the label, included in the dies you receive.
With a Blending Brush, apply a light layer of Daffodil Delight ink on the label.
Stamp the sentiment with Memento Black ink.
Tie a bow in 9 inches of the 1/8″ Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon. Add to card front.
Layer the sentiment, with Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the top of the ribbon.
Add Daffodil Delight gems from the Glossy Dots Assortment.
