My mom used up all the thank you cards she had on hand that I had given her - so last night I sat down and made a bunch more.
I took one sheet of Crate Paper and cut it into 9 pieces (***if you cut them 4x4" you get 9 out of a whole sheet of 12x12 paper - I cut mine a little smaller for these cards***).
I used Papertrey's Butterfly Kisses and Paper Tray stamp sets to make all the cards.
The first set uses Lovely Lilac (Stampin' Up!) card stock, Brilliance Lavender and Brilliance Graphite Black Inks, and Michaels black velvet ribbon.
I ran the white card stock through my CuttleBug using the scalloped rectangle Nestabilities die to cut and then emboss each one. I then stamped the butterfly and sentiment.
The "flight trail" was made with an Ornare piercing template Lauren got for me ages ago.
The second set uses Regal Rose (SU!) card stock and ink and one of the other butterfly images from the Butterfly Kisses set.
I used my edge distresser to scrape the edges of the black card stock and rough it up, then added some black eyelets and they were done!
