The card I am sharing today is a cute little card that is created using the Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies Stamp Set.  This is a free item during Sale-A-Bration with a qualified purchase.  I saw a card like this somewhere in my internet travels but can’t find the card again, so do not know the person to thank.  If you have seen it, let me know so I can give the person credit for CASing.

The challenge at Festive Friday is the perfect challenge for today’s card. Red, pink, ribbon, hearts, watercolor, and stitching; I didn’t realize I used so many of them.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock.  

A panel of Real Red card stock is cut as the mat for the Sweet Talk DSP panel.  They are adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A band of Real Red is cut and embossed using a folder from the Dotty Hearts Embossing Folders. A scrap of lacy polka dot ribbon is adhered across the band and the band is adhered to the background panel.

The girl image from the Stampin’ Up! Catching Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  The image can then be cropped using a die from the Layering Circle Dies on page 163 of the Annual Catalog. The image is colored using Watercolor Pencils in Flirty Flamingo, Early Espresso, and Basic Grey. The Basic Grey can barely be seen on the butterfly net. 

The greeting is stamped in Real Red ink on a small piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Ornate Frame Dies.  Both die cuts are now popped over the Real Red band using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Red and pink hearts are fussy cut from a scrap of the Sweet Talk DSP and popped around the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A sentiment from the Catching Butterflies Stamp Set is stamped in Real Red ink on a cropped heart from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, this folder includes dies also.  The heart is then adhered to the inside panel.  The love you sentiment is from the January Paper Pumpkin Kisses & Hugs.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Sweet Talk DSP applied to the flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are at the end of this post.
