Butterfly Card

I made this pretty card today.



I used The Kanban Designer Collection Vol. 1 to make it. The Collection on the usb is Butterfly Collection.



I used an A5 card blank. Then I printed two commentary papers, and a sheet of toppers. I chose these two toppers from the sheet I printed.



I stuck the first backing paper in place using a general craft glue. I cut it 1/2 cm smaller than the card which gives a 1/4 cm border all around.



I stuck the next backing paper on top again with a 1/4 cm border all the way around.



This is the pretty topper I chose to go on the card.



I wanted to give some dimension to the card so I put double sided adhesive foam pads on the back. Make sure you use plenty of foam pads to support the topper. If you don't it's likely over time the topper will collapse and spoil the look of the card.



Choose carefully where you want to place the topper on the front of the card. The Paper I used has a lovely butterfly border so I thought just to the side of it looked good.



Finally I finished of the card with this little bumble bee topper. Again I put those topper onto foam pads to give some dimension and to match the rest of the card.

I hope you like this tutorial and take some inspiration from it.

Until next time

Happy Crafting.
