Dawn Griffith shared how to make a Floating Butterfly Bridge Card. This is my version.
- 4 1/4" x 8" color cardstock; score in landscape at 1 1/4" & 2 1/2" from each end
- 4" x 2 3/4" Whisper White cardstock (for the back)
- 4" x 2 3/4" Glimmer paper
- 4 1/8" x 1 1/8" designer series paper
- 1" x 5 1/2" color cardstock
- 3/4" x 5 1/2" color cardstock
- 7/8" x 5 3/8" Whisper White cardstock; stamp sentiment
- 1/2" x 3" Whisper White cardstock; stamp sentiment
- 1/4" X 6" (x2) Window Sheet
- Scrap of Whisper White cardstock; stamp 3 sets of butterflies, color with Stampin' Blends markers, cover with Versa Mark ink, sprinkle clear embossing powder, heat set, & punch out with the Butterfly Duet punch; adhere some of these to the window sheet strips to hang from behind the top bridge and some to the front and back of the card.
- Check out the assembly on my video.
Claire Daly (AU demonstrator) showed this card made with Butterfly wishes, a "distinktive" stamp set by Stampin' Up!
- 4 1/4" x 11" Crumb Cake cardstock; score in landscape at 5 1/2"; stamp the branch in Crumb Cake ink on the card front
- 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White cardstock (inside); stamp the flower in blackberry bliss ink and leaves in garden green ink along the left side (in landscape)
- 3rd largest Stitched Nested Label die cut from Whisper White cardstock; color the branch with blackberry bliss, garden green, and crumb cake Stampin' Write markers; remoisten ("huff") the ink on the stamp and stamp on the label; stamp sentiment
- 4th largest Stitched Nested Label die cut from Blackberry Bliss cardstock--extended to about 4 3/4"
- Scrap Whisper White cardstock; stamp 3 butterflies in blackberry bliss ink and cut out
- How to's, tips, and instructions on the video.
This last card was inspired by Dawn Griffith's Pull Tab Flap Card where I used butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty dies.
- 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" color cardstock; score in landscape at 4 1/4"
- 5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White cardstock (for inside)
- 5" x 3 3/4" Whisper White cardstock
- 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" designer series paper (DSP)
- 2" x 6" color cardstock; score in landscape at 2" & 2 1/2"; punch the end furthest from the score lines with the Scallop Tag Topper punch
- Largest stitched square (Stitched Shapes) die cut from color cardstock
- 2nd largest stitched square die cut from Whisper White and color cardstocks; stamp image/sentiment for the front flap on the white square
- 3rd largest stitched square die cut from Whisper White cardstock; stamp image/sentiment for the inside flap
- Detailed outline butterflies group die cut from white or other color cardstock--add double sided adhesive sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting this out for ease in adhering this to the inset butterflies group
- Inset butterflies group die cut from color cardstock
- 5" coordinating ribbon
- The directions for putting this together and creating the pull tab mechanism is shown in the video.
