Happy March 1st!  Spring is definitely on it's way.  I heard birds chirping this afternoon - I love hearing those little songs!  And it will be in the 60's late this week.  Yippee!!  I'm going to enjoy listening to the song birds over the next few days.  What is your favorite part of the beginning of sprint?   

Tomorrow is the launch of a beautiful new product - Butterfly Brilliance Collection.  I just love butterflies - they are so light and graceful.  And most of all - a burst of fabulous color!  I've been playing with my products and have stamped and die cut many butterflies - some to color, some in Basic White and some even in Vellum!  My project this weeks showcases light and Spring like butterflies.  

All of the cards showcased were made with the Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  This beautiful paper pack contains 8 each of 6 double sided papers.  I used the green mottled print for the background for the card front.      

I used a new Stampin' Up! Blending Brush and Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin'  Pad to create the soft blue green background for the next layer of the card front.  I used another Stampin' Up! Blending Brush and Magenta Madness Classic Stampin' Pad to create the pink layer.  I die cut the pink layer with the two largest Stitched So Sweetly Dies and then dry embossed it with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder or the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder with the butterflies and branches.  The first three card's butterflies were created by cutting Vellum with the butterfly dies and cut the larger outlined butterflies from one of the Butterfly Bijou soft prints.  I overlaid the outlined butterflies with the Vellum detailed butterflies and added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the finished butterfly.  Adhere the butterfly with a Stampin' Dimensional in the center of the butterfly and bend the wings a bit to give the appearance of flight.  I stamped the small swarm of butterflies/dragonflies from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp set with Bermuda Bay stamped off once on the outer sentiment tags which were also die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.   

This last card I cut the detailed butterfly dies with Basic White cardstock and adhered to the card front and embellished with Basic Rhinestone jewels.   

These beautiful products will be available to purchase from 3/2/21 - 5/3/21.  

These can be be purchased individually or in a collection.  The Butterfly Brilliance Collection includes the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, the Brilliant Wings die set including one large die that can cut out 5 beautiful butterflies from one of sheets of designer series paper from the Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and 2 sheets of Natural Touch Specialty Paper.  You receive a 10% discount when you purchase the stamp and die set as a bundle.  Please note that the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Papers will only be available while supplies last.
