Create Beautiful Butterflies Greeting Cards That “Pop!”

Nothing brings joy quite like a handcrafted greeting card, and when you add beautiful butterflies and a “pop of color, your card truly stands out! Today, I’ll show you how to create stunning butterfly-themed greeting cards that incorporate bold contrast and elegant layering. With a few simple steps, you’ll have Beautiful Butterfly greeting cards that are bound to impress the recipient.

Key Points to Creating Beautiful Butterflies Greeting Cards

Adding A “Pop” of Color

To make the greeting cards “pop,” I used a Basic White card base with a Basic Black layer. The black layer provides a sharp contrast against the embossed butterfly details and the soft hues of the Bokeh Designer Series Paper. In addition, I used Basic Black to die cut butterflies, as well as, my greeting. The boldness of the black layer and die cuts enhances the elegance and vibrancy of the card, making it an eye-catching design.

Die Cutting Two Butterflies at Once

In my video tutorial, I demonstrate how to use the two largest butterfly dies to create two die cuts simultaneously:

1. A detailed butterfly with fine cutouts
2. A butterfly outline that frames your design

By using this technique, I not only saved time, I add more dimension to my cards and create two cards at once with minimal effort.

Embossing for Extra Texture

To elevate the design, I used the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder to emboss a layer of Bokeh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The soft hues of the embossed details create stunning textures, giving your card an elegant finish.
