This card is a combination of techniques - mostly using the Big Shot. I really like using the dies & folders in 'out of the box' ways & this card shows you two of them.
The
basic idea of punching circles from card stock after it's been embossed
with the Finial Press embossing folder is not a new one - I believe Kimberly Van Diepen first made one like this, but I thought the little butterflies from the
Beautiful Wings embosslit would add the perfect touch to it. Plus the
little 'friends' tag from the Jewelry Tag punch & Tiny Tags stamp
set.
The colors are simple - Basic Gray & Whisper White. Don't you find sometimes that keeping a card 'clean & simple' makes it really pop!?
But wait, there's more..... check out the inside of this card!
If
you score SU's lattice die-cut in 3 sections you can make a simple
pop-up inside your card. No measuring or fancy cutting! I used the
rest of the Beautiful Wings butterfly die-cuts I got from just one cut. You get 5 sizes &
shapes die-cut all at one time!
The lattice & butterflies lay flat when the card is folded closed, but pop up when it's opened! Here's how it looks from the side:
You
only add adhesive to the outer most folds, not the inside two that will
pop-up the butterfly. And be sure when you adhere this lattice piece you have
both the card & the die-cut laying flat. ***The middle
fold line of the lattice lays on the center fold of the card. Flip up the two
outer-most folds of the lattice die-cut & add adhesive (I prefer
Tombow Multi Purpose adhesive for this) & then just press it flat onto the main card to secure.
I'm accepting late RSVP's for this class - until Friday at 3 pm. Please contact me ASAP to save your spot!
Cost - $10 or 1/2 price for former Big Shot Club members or anyone who has purchased their Big Shot from me.
Hint: current Big Shot Club members are making this card on Sunday! See you then.
Love this idea.

I love this card! I love the crisp, clean colors but when I saw the inside!...That makes this one even more special! I always love it when the insides are finished off. What a great job!
