Until the new 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Catalog, Stampin' Up! has always (with the exception of a brief period of the name change to "Collection") called their catalogs as Idea Book & Catalogs because they are so full of beautiful handmade papercraft projects as examples.
Before I tell you more about the card below, let me assure you even though Stampin' Up! has dropped "Idea Book &", you will find a lot of handmade papercrafts to inspire you!
Imitation is said to be a form of flattery. The card below is a close reproduction of one of Stampin' Up!s handmade cards in a previous Idea Book & Catalog.
Isn't the big die-cut butterfly eye-catching? It is one of the butteflies you can die-cut from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. But, what makes this particular butterfly so appealing is the embossed flair with pretty, sponged color all around it.
In the center of the butterfly is one of the chic Antique Brads. The Antique Brads are a quick way to add a touch of elegance to your papercraft projects.
The other touch of sweetness added to the greeting card, are the embossed and die-cut small butterflies created with the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die. With one crank through the Sizzix Big Shot, you will die-cut and emboss at the same time. How is that for a beautiful time-saver?
The Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and Antique Brads are going to be around for at least another year. But, if you want to be able to add the flourish to your cards, the Baroque Motifis stamp set is retiring forever and only available for order until May 31, 2012.
