Card A Day Blog Post: Die Cuts

Hi everyone, it's time again for me to post another card to the Card A Day Blog. I will be starting off the week with the theme, " Die Cuts". My inspiration for this card came from the Spellbinders Grand Shapabilities dies, Wonderful Wings.


To make my card, I first started off with a 5.5"x4.25" white card base. I added a 5.25"x4" piece of designer paper from the Die Cut With A View paper stack, Pocket Full Of Posies, and added it to the top of my card base. I then added a piece of patterned paper from the same stack, cut to 5.25" x1.5", matted it on a 5.25" x 2" piece of purple card stock, and adhered it to the middle of my card front.

Now for the die cut part, I chose to use one of the butterflies in the Spellbinders Grand Shapabilities, Wonderful Wings set. I decided to use one of the smallest butterflies in the set. I cut and embossed the bottom of the butterfly with a dark purple card stock, then cut and embossed the top part of the butterfly using a medium purple card stock, then adhered that to the top of the first piece. I then attached that to the left of the matted strip that I added to the middle of the card. 

As usual, I decided it needed a little sparkle, lol, so I added some dots of Viva Decor, Holo Iridescent Glitter Liner, which added a little "bling" to my butterfly. To finish off my card, I stamped a " hello" directly on the patterned paper using one of the stamps I have in my collection, to the right bottom corner. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed checking out my newest creation as much as I did making it, and if you would like, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about it. Also, don't forget to enter our monthly challenge for a chance to win a prize!

That is a lovely card. That purple paper right in the middle under the butterfly is really nice.
