Woo hoo! Nicole and I are back with another On the CASE. I am working my way through Stampin’ Up!® catalogs, breaking down samples step-by-step, in order to provide you with free tutorials so you can CASE your own. Nicole is using her investigative skills to solve CASES throughout the crafting universe. Let the fun begin!
Today I am CASEing an adorable tag from the Occasions Catalog. This tag uses the Butterfly Gala bundle. Since I need cards more than tags, after I created the tag, I added it to a card base. I hope you enjoy today’s tag card.
Tag and Tag Card
Butterfly Gala Bundle
With the extremely bitter temperatures we have been having here in SE Iowa, I definitely needed a breath of spring. And what better harbinger of spring than butterflies! I love the Butterfly Gala bundle, especially when paired with this fabulous gingham paper. Here’s the tag I CASEd…

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Whisper White Thick cardstock at 5-1/2″ to form the card base. Crease using a bone folder.
2. Die cut the Large Check Balmy Blue paper frame by centering the 3″ x 4-3/8″ Stitched Rectangle framelit inside the largest Stitched Rectangle framelit. Mat the “frame” onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, and add to the card base.
3. Die cut the Small Check Lemon Lime Twist paper using the 3″ x 4-3/8″ Stitched Rectangle framelit. Adhere inside the “frame”.
4. Brayer the piece of Small Check Balmy Blue paper with Balmy Blue ink. Mat onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and adhere to the card base using dimensionals.
5. Make a loop from 9″ of Whisper White Flax ribbon. Adhere to the brayered paper. Snip the ends at an angle.
6. Ink the sentiment in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Stamp onto Whisper White cardstock. Punch out using the 2-1/4″ Circle punch. Adhere to the card using dimensionals.
7. Punch out a butterfly from vellum. Adhere to the circle.
8. Ink the Butterfly image with Jet Black StazOn and stamp onto Shimmery White cardstock. Color the wings using an Aqua Painter and Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight inks. When dry, stamp the body and antennae. Snip out using paper snips. Adhere on top of the vellum butterfly.
9. Accent with Lemon Lime Twist sequins. Optional: Accent the sequins with rhinestones.

How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
This tag card is fun to make. There are several die cutting steps involved, as well as fussy cutting. The water coloring is very forgiving, while the stamping is simple. Difficulty Level: 2.5 out of 5, because of the time involved and the number of steps.

I really like the color combination and I love butterflies on cards!
Love seeing the tag but putting on the card was brilliant. I love the look the prayer provided on the gingham. So fresh and springy. Looking forward to this weekend when we can get our recycle tote unfrozen. We have lots of recycling to set out. Everyone stay warm and safe and we will as well.
Hi Ann,I love both the tag card and the card that you made. Both are beautiful and certainly remind me of spring. Thank you for the tutorial. Once we get through all of the snow, ice, high winds and cold temps spring will be her before we know it. 🙂
Such a beautiful card, Ann! And yes, it is like a breath of spring! Crazy how it’s -50 degrees with the wind chill today and Saturday is going to be 40 degrees above zero!…Your card warmed my day! 🙂 That gingham dp is so beautiful. I’m enjoying using it! Stay safe, my Friend!
I like the brayer on the DSP…what a nice addition to give the card a different look. Love it!
Ann,
This is just beautiful. Love the idea of using the tag ON the card base. Also love the color combo here… soft and fresh for sure. Thanks so much for the measurements… Hugs
