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 a striking butterfly thank you card from the Occasions Catalog. This card uses the Butterfly Beauty thinlit dies and a sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set. Both are available in the Beauty Abounds bundle for a 10% savings.

I thought the Butterfly Thank You card was absolutely stunning. I couldn’t wait to get the dies just so I could create this beauty. I hope you love it as much as I do!

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Thick Whisper White cardstock at 4″. Fold and crease with a bone folder.
2. Run the 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot with the Dot to Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Remove the embossed piece of cardstock, place it on top of the folder, and run it back through the Big Shot. This will soften the imprint. Adhere the embossed square to the card base.
3. Loop gold metallic wire in a circle on top of the embossed panel, holding it in place with glue dots.
4. Die cut the “lacy wing” butterfly from watercolor paper. Snip out the largest butterfly. Watercolor using an Aqua Painter and Calypso Coral ink. Let dry.
5. Die cut the Overlay Butterfly from Basic Black cardstock. Snip out the largest butterfly. Adhere over the top of the watercolored butterfly. Tip: Snipping off the head of the watercolored butterfly will eliminate the need to line up the antennae.
6. Die cut two flourishes from Mint Macaron cardstock. Adhere to the back of the butterfly as shown.
7. Adhere the butterfly and flourishes to the card base using dimensionals.
8. Ink the sentiment with Calypso Coral and stamp onto the 2″ x 7/16″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Snip a “V” in each end. Adhere to the butterfly with dimensionals.
9. Enjoy!
