This is the second card this week that I have shared with you using the Butterfly Basics stamp set. I just love it. I can’t help myself. It really is one of the prettiest stamp sets in the Stampin’ UP! Occasions Catalog. I have so much fun using it. I NEVER have enough birthday cards. Do you all have that problem? Running out of birthday cards right when you need them. So annoying.
My sweet sister in law has a birthday this week and I think I will give her this card. But I am also going to have to make her a mean card. Yes, I said it. A mean card. She’s older than me by a couple of years and I really enjoy reminding her of that. So I thought I would give her two cards this year 🙂 MUWAHAHAHA!
Tips & Tricks
- When you background stamp this card make sure to use the super light Pink Pirouette ink. It’s so subtle which ends up making it really stand out. So weird how that works.
- Stamp your butterflies FIRST and then cut them out 🙂 Much easier to do it that way.

I love the weather we are having but I think we always have another cold spell when it is like this. Your husband is probably right. Butterflies are my favorite and your card is lovely! I actually like the extra butterflies. The card looks more finished with them. They are pretty either way.

Hi Wendy, I love this card, its so pretty. Thanks for sharing. I have the butterfly thinlets but not the stamps….I should have bought the bundle 🙁
Wendy Cranford says
Oh man I hate it when that happens. When I buy a stamp set now I ALWAYS buy a bundle. I made that mistake a few times and realized it wasn’t a good idea.
