Best Butterflies
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is “CASE the Catalog” so the Design Team chose a card from the new Annual Catalog and has CASEd it with their own creative twist. We really hope that you are inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The Stampin’ Up Catalog is a wonderful “Idea Book.” If you’re stumped for what to make, just look through the catalog for some inspiration. I found this picture back in the “Bundles” section on page 161 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. The card is cute, but I wanted to make it over again in #bright&happy colors. Every card I make brings me joy, but creating bright & happy cards makes my heart sing!
Here’s what I used to make this card
- Thick Basic White card base 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″
- Polished Pink 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
- 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Cardstock (CS) Strips- Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky
- Best Butterflies Bundle- butterflies die cut from Mango Melody CS
- Fun Flowers Resin Shapes
- Envelope flap covered in 1/2″ CS strips
Please see the rest of the supplies at the bottom of this blog post.
Here’s some other cards I made with the Best Butterflies Bundle.
Here’s a live video showing how to make this easy fun fold card.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 13th. Our theme will be “Create Your Own Background” when our Design Team creates a background using any technique they wish, such as stencils, stamping, watercolor, embossing but not DSP.
Until then, have fun in your craft space!

Steve and I enjoyed our 18 day campervan adventure through Canada and Alaska. This trip is in lieu of the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip that was cancelled. There is a huge difference between spending a week on a cruise ship and spending three weeks in a tiny campervan exploring the wilderness. If you would like to follow our adventures, we posted short videos everyday on our new YouTube Channel- Best Last Half.
