Directions:

2. Using a Tangerine Tango Ink Pad along with the swirl design from the Stampin’ Up! Creative Elements stamp set to stamp background.
Tip: You want to be sure to stamp far enough around your circle that you will see the swirls after the circles are in place.
3. Cut Circles using Big Shot and Circle Collections Framelits.
Tip: Starting from the outside scallop circle counting inward… the biggest circle #2, middle circle is #4, and the smallest circle is #6.

4. Cut the largest circle out of Real Red Cardstock using framelit #2.
5. Cut the middle circle out of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock using framelit #4.
6. Cut the smallest circle out of Whisper White Cardstock using Framelit #6.
7. Layer, Center and Glue Circles together.
8. Cut a piece of the circle off using your cutting board.
Tip: When cutting your layered circles… you wan the edge of the large circle touching 3″ and then cut. This will trim off just a bit of your small white circle.
9. Add Stampin Dimensionals add adhere to the front of your card base… over your swirls.
10. Stamp your butterfly on small white circle in Tangerine Tango Ink… this is your bottom butterfly which will create a shadow effect.
11. On scrap paper stamp your Real Red butterfly and cut out image with scissors.
Tip: You could use the Elegant Butterfly punch and a coordinating Butterfly stamp set if you don’t like to hand cut images.
12. Using a mini glue dot to add Real Red Butterfly on top of Tangerine Tango Butterfly.
NOTE: If you’d like more information on how to pop up your butterfly and add lift… visiting LeahsCards.com for Technique Tuesday!

Brandy, I’m so glad I found your website. I LOVE the 10 in 20 videos! For those of us who may not be using the SU dies, could you give us the diameter of each of the circles? I have many SU dies but not those. 🙁
Love Love your videos. Having received this thank you card from you, I already new how striking it was. Watching the video just makes the doing one myself so much easier. Your little tips are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Brandy, I just love your cards and this one is just in time for May time card ideas.
I just love the cards you make, you make it look so simple that I think I could make them.
I loved the rock around the edges technique you did at the very end! Great card. I need to play with stamping a background.
Hi Brandy~
Just found a quiet moment to watch your butterfly card tutorial. I learned how to double shade the butterfly stamp and use scissors to place the bling dots on the card. It is nice that you record these ideas for us! It is encouraging and inspiring to see what you create. I listed a page full of products I would like to order…so I need to order something for my Birthday April 21st 🙂
Thank You for the video!
Make it a great day….Hugs, Suzanne
Lovely to see you back. Really missed your videos. I have all the pieces prepared to Case or rather Copy your beautiful card, and a few ideas to step it up as well. Will also try the Elegant Eggplant & Wisteria wonder and the Midnight Muse & Pool Party . Cheers and thank for caring & Sharing your talents with the rest of us. I learn so much from you. ….. Thank you,
so pretty clean and simple….way to go again
Brandy, Love all of your cards, this last one is a GREAT one, can’t wait to try it! Keep up the Great work. I look forward to your videos, and have passed along your site to my friends in stamping.
Love your technique on this card, Brandy. Simple yet very pretty. Even thought the blue one was stunning. One can tell you really enjoy what you do by the enthusiasm that is shown. You always inspire me 🙂
Glad to see your back, I have missed your videos! I absolutely love this card and I will try it tonight! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration!
Hugs!
Love your 10 in 20. Thinking that the eggplant combo would be great. Thanks a million for your videos and looking forward to the next one.
I so enjoyed watching your video. This card is so cute and very easy to do.
Love this card. I don’t have the big shot, but I’m going to try to cut the circles with my cricut. You make it look so easy.
Enjoyed your video and card. Love the color combo. That card design lends itself to alot of color combs. A great one to CASE. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Randee,
Thank you so much!!! I can’t wait to come home and visit you guys. I am starting to plan my August trip to Michigan and will keep you posted. Blessings, Brandy
What a perfect card for anyone. I’m going to make it right now. Thank you once again Brandy for your clever ideas.
Hi Mary Ann,
Thanks for stopping by! Have fun and let me know how it goes. Hugs, Brandy
Beautiful card Brandy, I am going to make some but I will have to improvise with the stamps. I have a lot of them but not Creative Elements (YET). I’d like to see it with saffron & Sky Blue for the circles and Wisteria Wonder for the butterfly.
Hi Brandy, love ALL your video tutorials. I would love to know how to “lift” the butterfly and can’t seem to find how to do it on the website you suggested. Can you help?( I followed the link and read the details)
Many thanks for all your inspiration
Gill
HI Gill,
Good Afternoon! I just spoke with Leah and she is planning on having her video with directions up on Tuesday. Please kindly check back. Thank you! Brandy
Very pretty cards, Brandy! Love the blue one too!
I love this card, it is so pretty and delicate. I like Daphne’s idea and black and white I think would be awesome. I think I would also emboss the swirls with a clear embossing powder just to add that extra pop. I don’t have the stamp sets that Brady used, but I have another set that I think will look great. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Hi Ellen,
I too LOVE Daphne’s idea!!! Ok, someone needs to try and it and let me know how it goes. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind note. Have fun!!! Hugs, Brandy
I love this card Brandy! I make cards for Operation write home and this will be a really nice one to CASE! I learn so much from your videos and love your friendly happy style!
Hi Trish,
Thank you for stopping by and for your service to our soldiers and their families. I love Operation Write Home and all that it stands for. Thank you for all you do! Hugs, Brandy
Such a beautiful card Brandy. I’m not an owner of a big shot so I’m very limited to what I can do with my
cards and it make me crazy! What’s a girl to do!? Save up money until I can buy one….
The colors on this card is so beautiful and bright it just makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your gifts that God has blessed you with.
I watch every one of your videos….I even go back and watch them several times..I looove your cards..Thankyou so much for inspiring me! angie from kingston
Beautiful! I enjoyed this video and can’t wait to get into my craft room and try it out! I’m thinking Wisteria and eggplant. I’m also wondering if 2 white circles and 1 black would work? I love black and white. I guess the only way to find out is to try! Thanks Brandy, for another great video, I always enjoy and look forward to them so much!
That’s a great idea Daphne Baker, black and white circles with a bright red butterfly.
I just love these cards, a pop of color for spring. Thanks for your videos. I love to watch tjem
