Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!

I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here.  They are so easy AND fun to play with.  I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday.  Scroll down to see the video below:

This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper!  Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper.  So cool to make use of the pretty edges! 

Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!  

Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.  

I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  Easy and quick!  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card.

Watch the video below to catch the tips on making these fun latch cards. 

Lastly is a double point fold card.  The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side.  You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details. 

I shared how I made that striking solid colored butterfly in the video.  I just love these products!  See them here. 

I hope you watch the video below where I share how to make each of these neat cards!

Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold

Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products.  Are you a fan of butterflies?

I call this unique fold the Origami Window.  It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times.  See details here or watch my video here. 

The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip?  That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies!  You can see them here: 

That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here.  They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!

Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

Measurements are:

• Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"
• Natural Touch paper 2" X 4"
• Black 2 1/4" X 4 1/4", plus 1/4" and 1/3" strips and die-cut butterfly
• White scrap for Painted Poppies die-cut

On the card below I did color parts of the yellow butterfly with my Calypso Coral Blends marker.
