hello Friend

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a good week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an interactive butterfly card. I had never heard of this pop out fun fold before I saw it on YouTube, and now I’ve made a couple of them (with different elements) and have another couple planned. So fun and easy! I made this one into a friendship card but it could be tailored for a birthday, anniversary, or just because. I used Pop Tone Snow Cone, Jet Stream Blue, Surf and Hummingbird cardstock which I paired with patterned paper, stamps, dies, and an embossing folder in my stash. I love these colors together!

I used the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Butterflies Dies to cut the butterflies. I cut the card base and panels from Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock and added a panel of patterned paper from the simple Stories Boho Sunshine Collection Kit. The front sentiment is from the Hero Arts Here For You stamps which I cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die.

Here are shots of the card opening and then fully opened revealing a couple more butterflies that actually look like they are flittering out of the card. The inside sentiment is from the Altenew Enchanted Roses stamp set. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog for more details on how to make this card!
