Butterflies Thinlits from Stampin’ Up!

July 17, 2017 By Michelle Last

This week at the Global Design Project we are casing the designer Tanja Solar from Germany.  I have used the Butterflies Thinlits Dies as Tanja using the dragonfly in her beautiful card.    You must pop over to take a look at her lovely blog as she is super talented.  We are currently both in Thailand enjoying the Stampin’ Up! Incentive trip together 🙂

Watercolor Wings from Stampin' Up! case of Tanja Kolar

I kept my card pretty simple this week and added lots of layers and textures.

How I made my Card
  • I cut a rectangle from the Foil Frenzy Speciality DSP and die cut the detailed butterfly using the Butterfly Thinlits.
  • I punched a piece of Pool Party card with the Ticket Tear Border Punch and layered it underneath the foil frenzy rectangle.
  • I cut a length of Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon and glued and stapled it to the foil frenzy rectangle.
  • I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor Wings stamp set onto white cardstock in black ink and cut into a rectangle.
  • I die cut a fancy strip from the Flourish Thinlits in Island Indigo cardstock.
  • Everything was layered up onto my whisper white card base.
  • I then added glue to the body of the butterfly and secured it into the die cut space to hold it to the card but left the wings to move freely.
  • A few rhinestones and it was complete.

Here is the lovely card we are casing this week from Tanja Kolar.

    I love the design feature of the ribbon. The fold is unique and adds the perfect amount of color. To tie into the bottom piece of border. Simple, elegant with a bit of whimsy. Love! Thanks for the inspiration.

    I like how the butterfly is cut from the copper rectangle! The Island Indigo fancy strip highlights the card very well! Great card!

I loved making this for a friends special birthday I loved making this for a friends special birthday. I used the #summershadowsdies from Stampin Up and the #decklededge  rectangle dies and the greeting is from our #goodfeelings stamp set. I used my blending brush to create an inked background before die cutting my flowers and leaves. Everything I used is available from my Stampin Up shop x
