I am leaving for the 2012 Stampin’ Up! Annual Convention in 1 week! I am so excited! One of the things we do while at convention is swap card fronts. Swapping is just like trading. I created a pretty simple swap this year featuring the brand new Elegant Butterfly Punch. Have you seen this punch yet?
I love, love, love this punch! Don’t you? My inspiration for my swap card came out on the new 2012 Stampin’ Up! catalog. On page 190 of the catalog there is a very pretty butterfly thank you card. I gave that card my own little spin and came up with this birthday card.
What do you think? It is super simple and clean. My color combination includes: Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. I used the birthday greeting from the Curly Cute stamp set (available in both wood mount and clear mount). BTW I love this stamp set too! I am using it over and over again. It is a must have set! I used the Big Shot along with the Framed Tulip embossing folder to emboss the Whisper White card base.
To give the butterflies a little more dimension I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack punched a coordinating flower and added a Basic Rhinestone.

Thanks Sara! I think this is one of my most favorite cards!
