Hi, Margie here today! I wanted to create a simple card but with a little piazza like this Dimensional Butterfly Spring Card featuring 3D Foam Butterflies and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Let me show you my process.
Butterfly Spring Card Layers + Card Base
Gather and trim the following layers: 4 x 3-inch yellow cardstock (card panel), 4 x 3.75-inch patterned paper (panel mat), and for the card base, 4 x 12-inch yellow cardstock and fold in half for a 4 x 6-inch top-fold card.
Prepping the Card Panel
Use a hot foil plate sentiment and a piece of foil color from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors. Following the directions on your hot foil system. Foil a sentiment on your 4 x 3-inch yellow cardstock card panel. Make sure to leave enough room to place your butterflies/dragonflies on the panel. If an overfoiling occurs, use a sand eraser.
Adhere the foiled yellow card panel to the patterned paper panel mat with the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft. Place your 3D Foam Butterflies and Dragonflies on the yellow panel until you get your desired look.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with the 3D Foam Butterflies + Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets
Remove the top liner of one of the 3D Foam Butterflies or Dragonfly. Apply a piece of the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top of the exposed adhesive with the foil color facing you. Gently rub the foil with your fingertips to transfer the color to the 3D Foam Butterflies. Reapply foil in missed areas. Repeat the foiling step until you’re done.
Assemble the Butterfly Spring Card
Emboss your card base with an embossing folder. Place four strips of 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back of the embellished card panel and secure it on the card base. This gives more dimension with a 1/16-inch height, and the strips don’t curl up like the rolls.
Thanks for Visiting!
