Birthday Butterfly

By
It was my birthday yesterday and amongst my many pressies I received some nesting butterfly dies. I was over the moon as a while ago I had seen THIS card on VICKY'S blog and was dying to recreate it.
My card looks like this


My card stock was folded in half and the die placed on the card stock just a little above the fold so that it made a shaped card. I used my cuttlebug.
The butterfly was then die cut again - whole and used to make an easel card.


There are four dies in the set and I cut a number of them to layer up on the card - I then added a sentiment and a few gems to finish it off.
Here's what it looks like folded down ready to be posted


Pop back tomorrow and I will share with you some of the amazing hand made cards i received from some of my crafty friends - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Gorgeous and very clever- I've recently ordered a set of nesting star dies and I wonder if I could do something similar.... Hmmm.

    Bit of an oops from me and sorry to miss your birthday Jacqueline. A belated Many Happy Returns and hope you had a lovely day.
    The card is gorgeous and oddly enough I was tempted by the set a few days ago so might have to indulge myself now as it looks fabulous used like this.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    What a FABULOUS gift--LOVE die cuts!!! This is darling, and I LOVE the pinks--the rhinestones down the center of the top flutterby is great! Can't wait to see what else you make with this! :)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
