How to create the Alex Syberia Designs Butterfly Bliss Inlaid Die Cut Card:
To create this vibrant die-cut butterfly card:
To start, choose five coordinating colors of cardstock. I used Bazzill cardstock in Crepe (#300145), Pizzazz (#372592), Coral Sunset (#372620), Turquoise Mist (#301089), and Ocean Oasis (#300706).
Next, die cut the top butterfly wings five times from each color. Sort the small pieces by color in a watercolor tray or dish.
Then, repeat the same die cutting for the lower wings.
Next, add Scotch tape to the back of the main butterfly panel to secure the inlaid pieces.
Then, use a wax-tipped embellishment wand to inlay each colorful piece into the wings one by one.
Finally, finish by die cutting the butterfly body and gluing all the pieces together to complete your beautiful butterfly.
Adding the Sentiment:
Start by inking the new Essential Sentiments BetterPress Plates with Malachite (turquoise) ink and press them to create crisp, detailed sentiments.
Next, die cut the sentiments using the coordinating dies.
Pro Tip: I like to press and die cut all the sentiments at once—this way I have extras for future projects or a quick swap without extra cleanup!
Then, emboss the 4.25″ x 5.5″ card front using the Abstract Floral Background plate and embossing mat to add texture, then attach the embossed panel to the card base.
Next, die cut three frames with the Stitched Rectangle Wafer Dies, stack them, and adhere with white glue to build a dimensional frame on the card front.
Finally, finish by adding the butterfly, floral die cuts, and sentiment with foam squares for a beautifully layered look.
