When you need a quick and simple wedding card for the bride and groom, the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) can come to the rescue. This beautiful paper has floral designs, as well as butterflies, and this pretty piece in Highland Heather coordinates well with the Gorgeous Grape card stock from the annual Stampin’ Up! catalog. You can also view all the current catalogs on the catalog page.
Did you know that you can choose this paper as a free Sale-a-Bration reward when you place a $50 (US) order in my online store before March 31st (while supply lasts)? Some items in the Sale-a-Bration catalog may already be sold out!!!
Once you’ve created the basic layers, add a sentiment from the Well Said stamp set. If you want to step it up a little, die cut the sentiment with the Rectangular Stitched Framelits dies. Then add some glimmer paper, and a couple butterflies die cut with the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits dies.
