Fold out Butterfly Card

I have really liked working with the Garden Impressions Suite.  The Abstract Impressions stamp set, Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies and Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper Stack give you so many options.  I wanted to design a card that used the Thinlit traditional way- to cut out, and then also to emboss with the embossing mat.  This is what I came up with.

I folded the card in 1/2, and then folded the front flap back.  I opened up the card and then use the butterfly thinlit and embossing mat to emboss the butterfly on the inside of the card.

I made a quick video to show how easy this is to do. The embossing mat is just $15 and it gives you many more options for embossing.

 

 

The Designer Series Paper Stack gives you so many great colors to work with.  I have been using our new color Shaded Spruce quite a big.  It is a great green!  A tip for assembling: When attaching the Melon Mambo butterfly, I just put adhesive on the left side so I didn't tape the card shot.   Don't forget to add 3 rhinestone jewels to the butterfly.  It adds a little bling to the card.  

 

The products I used are shown below.
