Butterfly Card

I tried digital stamping for this butterfly which enabled me to print the image to any size onto card stock.  I sponge the image with Stampin' Up! inks and used script as a background.  For the final touch  I used Crystal Effects - 101055 to add dimension.  I totally enjoyed making this novelty card.

Pop-Up Butterfly Tutorial

 

 Select the size card stock you require, I used A4 paper as an example.

Fold in half length ways.

Draw rectangle shape measuring 5cm x 2.5cm. This measurement can change to suit your needs.

Cut the two lengths.

Score the top line of rectangle then do the same on the other side.  

Remember NOT to cut this line.

Fold it back and do the same on the other side.

Open sheet up.

Push the piece through towards the inside of card.

This piece is what makes the card pop-up.

Attach another sheet at the back of the pop-up and down it's ready to decorate.
