Did you know that repeating your dies and gluing them down flat makes a great background? Check out this fun butterfly tutorial and pin it for your next project!
Today our designer, Natasha is showing off this fun way to use dies, saying, “I LOVE using die cuts to create backgrounds. Butterflies also happen to be a favorite of mine, so I put both the technique and shape to work on today’s card.” We think it’s beautiful and perfect for those upcoming Mother’s Day Cards.
- Die cut 5907-01D Sideview Monarch Butterfly Die from back cardstock. I was able to cut 3 full butterflies and 3 partial from an A2 panel.
- Adhere those all around an A2 panel that contrasts. Cut any overhang and fill gaps around the panel.
- Using the splatter stamps from 3006 Splatter Stains Stamp set, further fill blank areas around the panel.
- Die cut the smallest rectangle from 5502D Nested Loops Die from white cardstock. Stamp a butterfly from 38003 Fluttery Wishes 4×6 Stamp set in a shade similar to background. I used Beachside.
- Using two stamps from 36033 Mother’s Day Script, stamp a stacked sentiment in black ink.
- Add foam to the back of the rectangle and pop it onto the center of the butterfly panel.
- Use wet adhesive to add mirror gems.
