Stampin' Up! Butterfly Beauty
During these challenging times, our time crafting is especially important to help relieve stress as we're dealing with fears arising from the coronavirus pandemic and the economic problems caused by this public health problem. Taking all necessary precautions, and self-care is extremely important so we can help those around us deal with their issues. The good news is it won't last forever. This is only temporary. As crafters, we're probably in good shape as we're likely all have a stash of paper craft supplies. We can go to our happy place, and work from our existing stash to reduce our stress rather than buying more when we have so much uncertainty in the weeks ahead.
I'm going to take this opportunity to learn new techniques by watching videos on the Stampin' Up! YouTube channel, and I'm going to work with some of my retied stash as well as my current stash. I encourage you to do the same. It's an important time for us to support each other, and I want you to know that I'm here to help you through this difficult time with a little crafting relief. Yesterday's post included some ideas for using time while we're (mostly) at home. Today's card uses a mix of retired products and current products to create this beautiful butterfly card.
The basecard for today's card is Thick Whisper White. Then a Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. This is a retired Designer Series Paper from last year's annual catalog. However, you'll find floral prints from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper or a floral print from the Best Dressed 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper pack --both from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog-- would also work for this card as well. The card face includes a punched slot, using the Classic Label Punch, punched twice to get the length of the opening needed.
The butterfly is created using the Butterfly Beauty Dies, Basic Black Cardstock and Old Olive vellum from the Perennial Essence 12" X 12" Vellum Cardstock. The butterfly is actually attached to the inside layer, and when the card is opened, the butterfly slips through the opening created with the Classic Label Punch. Another smaller butterfly on the inside of the card also uses the Butterfly Beauty dies. The Leaf Punch is used to create two additional accent piece, and another element is created with one of the dies from Butterfly Beauty using Old Olive cardstock.
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Calypso Coral ink. Again, you're likely to have a sentiment stamp from your current stash you can use to duplicate this card.

This is the perfect time to use your current stash of craft supplies as you spend some time in your Happy Place. Time is our friend. In time we'll get past this. But today, it's so important to make a list of vulnerable friends and family that need a note of cheer, a friendly hello, or a note of appreciation to help them pass the time. Our healthcare workers, grocery store staff, and public service people are high on my list of cards to send. A handmade card from you would likely be highly appreciated.
