Simon Says Stamp Big Birthday Butterflies

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Whirl Butterflies from Simon Says Stamp’s latest release, Celebrate. Let’s jump right in to it, shall we?

Main Products:

I began this card by die cutting the SSS Whirl Butterflies from scraps of Neenah 110lb cardstock and did some light ink blending on them using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Lilac. This die doesn’t come with a body for the butterflies, but I wanted mine to have a body, so I used just the body portion from the SSS Layered Cosmic Butterfly set, and secured it with liquid glue.

The background needed some interest so I embossed a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using the SSS Circle Hoops Embossing Folder, trimmed it down slightly and adhered it to a black panel for contrast using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, which is from the SSS Big Old Birthday set, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set it using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and repeated that process for a second time for a smoother heat embossed image. I then used the coordinating die to cut it out, along with three additional pieces and adhered all of those together using liquid glue.

I glued the sentiment to the background panel and secured the butterflies with SSS 3D Foam Strips, before adding some SSS Clear Dazzling Gems to finish this one up.

This is a pretty simple card for today, but I love the rainbow butterflies! Don’t forget to check out the entire Celebrate release over on Simon’s website! I appreciate you stopping by today, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
