For this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge I used the lovely 2024-2025 Annual Catalog Sketched Butterflies stamp set to create my card. I also used the So Swirly embossing folder and the sentiment from the My Small Business stamp set. You can watch how I made this card on my Facebook Live replay here or watch on my YouTube channel below.
Start with a Bubble Bath cardstock card base. Cut a Basic Black cardstock panel, a Bubble Bath cardstock panel, and a Basic White cardstock panel. Dry emboss the Bubble Bath cardstock panel with the So Swirly embossing folder. Glue the embossed panel to the Basic Black cardstock panel. Stamp three butterfly images from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set on the Basic White cardstock panel in Memento Black ink. Color the images with the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends. Use your paper trimmer to cut the stamped Basic White cardstock panel length-wise into strips and use glue to add them to the card front. Wrap the built front panel with Iridescent Striped Trim using Tear & Tape to secure the trim’s ends to the back of the panel. Glue the wrapped built panel to the card front.
Cut a Basic White cardstock sentiment panel. Stamp the sentiment from the My Small Business stamp set in Memento Black ink on the sentiment panel. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the sentiment panel to the card front slightly overlapping the top of the wrapped trim. Tie a small bow with the Iridescent Striped Trim and use glue dots to add it to the right side of the card front under the sentiment panel overlapping the wrapped trim. Add Bubble Bath Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.
Add a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Kiddin’ Around stamp set in Memento Black on the inside panel. Add embossed Bubble Bath cardstock strips and stamp the resting butterfly image from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set in Memento Black ink & colored with Stampin’ Blends to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
I hope you enjoyed my #GDP446 Sketched Butterflies Thanks card. You can order the Sketched Butterflies stamp set, the My Small Business stamp set, the Kiddin’ Around stamp set, and the So Swirly embossing folder in my Online Store.
