Today’s card was inspired by my original butterfly basics card. I have really, really enjoyed the stamp set… layering colors and changing placement. Its been so much fun!
I recent made 50 or so of these cards and sent them out to my friends whom placed order this month. Thank you so much for business. I am so grateful to all who support my efforts.
When you making stationary to give as a gift… why not make two, three or four different designs to put in your box. Sometimes that’s hard to do and other stamp sets allow the flexibility. This is a stamp set where the possibilities are endless!
All of today’s products can be found in the Stampin Up Spring Catalog. If you don’t already have an Stampin Up Demonstrator let me know. I’m happy to help. Please fill out the form below to receive your catalogs. Have a great day! Brandy[/box]
Base
1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock and fold in half. This is your base.
Stamping Your Card
1. Stamp Your leafs with an Old Olive Stamp Pad.
2. Ink up your image and stamp it once, twice and a third time without re-inking the stamp. This creates various shades of Old Olive without having to use different stamp pads.

4. Ink up your image using a Daffodil Delight Stamp Pad and stamp your honey comb stamp diagonal across the center Melon Mambo flower.

6. Ink up your Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grunge Stamp in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp your dots on top of your leaf, flower and honey comb.
7. Stamp the greeting or sentiment of your choice in Early Espresso in the top left hand corner.
Butterfly
1. Stamp your Gorgeous Grunge Splotch in Bermuda Bay.
2. Using the Elegant Butterfly Punch to punch Butterflies out of those Gorgeous Grunge Splotches. Pretty Cool… no two butterflies will be alike.

Brandy, I loved receiving this card. It was such a nice way of saying “Thank you”. Diana
Love this card!! Just wondering what stamp set is the greeting you used on this card part of? It is amazing!!
Hi Laura,
Thank you for stopping by Brandyscards and for the kind note. Yes, the greeting I used is from the Stampin Up Spring Catalog… the Painted Petals Stamp Set on page 19. Hope that hopes! Blessings, Brandy
Hi Brandy! I just love what you did with this card and stamp set. I recreated it and used Rich Razzleberry instead of Melon Mambo. (your choice has much more pop, but I had a lot of Rich Razzleberry cardstock to layer with it) 🙂 I also used iridescent embossing powder over the pink flower to add some dazzle! 🙂 Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Brandy, I just love your card! I am so glad I bought the Basic Butterfly bundle and can’t wait to use it! Thank you for the great ideas and inspiration! I agree that this stamp bundle offers endless possibilities and will become one of my favorites!!!!
Good Morning Brandy: Just read your tutorial on your Butterfly Basics #2 card. referring to the section where you talk about the butterflies: My understanding is that it sounds like you stamped the sploch from the grunge stamp on a separate piece of cardstock and then used the Elegant Butterfly punch to punch out one butterfly. You then stamped the smaller butterfly from the Butterfly Bascis stamps (in BermudaBay) on piece of cardstock and punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. Couldn’t you use the die from the butterfly thinlits instead of a punch? Just an observation. Will we see a video tutorial for this card??
P.S. If I ordered the Hello Life stamps and the Groovy Love stamps today, do you think I would get them in time to make Valentine cards?
Hi Brandy! Beautiful card, I love this stamp set and the dies, look is fun to have it…
I love this card – The 1st card you made with the Butterfly Basics Stamps set was beautiful as well. This stamp set is on my wish list for my next order and both of the cards have inspired me to try them. You are so talented and I love watching your videos.
Hi Brandy, I really love this card of the basic butterfly stamp set. The colors you used pop. I like the layout of this card as well. Thank you for your inspiration. I agree with you, this set is endless. So many things you can make with it. Have a Blessed day. Debbie
