Butterfly Bouquet WOW Fold
The beautiful Butterfly Brilliance Bundle allows your creativity to take flight! For you fortunate few who have the already retired Butterfly Bijou DSP, this card will be easier, but the rest of you can simply stamp the butterflies, color them in to coordinate with whatever DSP you choose for a background, and you’re in business!
Thanks to Kylie and Bruno for organizing this Blog Hop! I’m proud to be part of it.
Everyone, please hop to all the names on the list below to see how flexible and beautiful this bundle is!
Imagine how your special friend or family member will enjoy this card open on a desk or bookshelf for days/months/years to come!

- Punch one end of white and black strips with Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.
- Arrange inside leftover pieces from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set into a pattern on your block, then stamp white strip in So Saffron (stamped off first.)
- Stamp Love of Leaves greeting in Memento Black ink over the patterned white strip.
- Diecut hashtag texture from Brilliant Wings dies into Saffron and Jade strips as desired.
- Adhere front DSP to Saffron, overlapping edge to fit evenly on front.
- Add Stampin’ Seal or Seal Plus to the back of the panel where the ribbon will wrap around and cover the seam.
- Attach front panel to black card base.
- Add Wink of Stella over all the butterflies, then fold wings up on either side of the body and let dry.
- Texture Emboss the black strip if desired, then attach greeting to it with Dimensionals and glue flat it to front of card.
- Adhere Jade strips then adhere overlapping DSP inside card per photo.
- Fold Saffron strip (valley, mountain, valley) and attach to bottom of card with liquid glue about 1″ in, per photo.
- Close card with strip folded up on bottom to make sure everything works and is straight, then put glue on the top portion of the folded strip and close card, using a little pressure until top seals like bottom.
- Test where you want squares and butterflies before adhering them down, making sure the butterflies don’t “catch” on the square above, and that the greeting is visible.
- Top and bottom squares are glued flat. Only add glue to the yellow strip where the middle squares attach instead of adding glue to the back of the squares.
- Adhere butterflies using foam adhesive strips on the back of the body.
- Add matte black dots or other embellishment on card front as desired.
- I’m rushed getting this posted for the Blog Hop, so if something is missing let me know and I’ll come back and add it!
- You can also watch my Facebook Live video from March 31st to see how I made it. (https://www.facebook.com/CreateWithKelley)

So beautiful Kelley! I love how the so saffron just pops, the hashtags are so effective on that strip. Great design, thx for your inspiration 🙂
Kelley Pitts says
Thanks so much! I love to inspire people!
I’ve gotta try the hashtag on other cards too. I used the small circle die from the Butterfly set to make bubbles for a whale card.
Kylie Bertucci says
Such a detailed and vibrant card! Thank you Kelley for taking part in our Butterfly Bouquet Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month.
Kelley says
Kylie, thanks for the compliment. (I didn’t realize just how detailed it was until I made 14 of them for a swap. Ha! Not again! Simple swaps from now on!)
Rhonda Kleiman says
This is a wow card, Kelley! I’m going to give this fun fold a try.
Kelley says
Great! So happy I inspired you to try a new fun fold!

KELLEY PITTS says
Thanks so much! It was fun to make one. I just don’t recommend making 14 at one time for a swap. Ha!
