Slimline Butterfly Sympathy Card


Hello crafty friends ...



It's time for a new Challenge at Your Next Stamp - 
the Fun Friday Challenge #143 has a theme of 'BLOCKS!'
Blocks (any type of square - windows, baby blocks, think inside the box :>)  )

The Fun Friday challenges come with two chances to win prizes!!
Comment on the YNS BlogInstagram or Facebook pages for a chance to win a free stamp set. Comment on all three to increase your chances, but comments must be left by July 15th 2020. The winner will be announced on July 17th on the YNS Blog.

More details about the prizes at the end of my post.

I made a Slimline Sympathy Card, using the Rounded Panel Shapes to die cut two squares from the front patterned paper panel. I backed the openings with acetate, then added a different patterned paper from the same package behind the acetate. That panel was then adhered to my card base.


The Dotted Slimline Die Set One is from Studio Katia, but everything else is from Your Next Stamp. For the butterflies, I used the dies that coordinate with the Beautiful Butterflies set to cut the shapes from a pink patterned paper in the stack, and added a glittery Gumdrop to the centre of each.

The sentiment comes with the Beautiful Butterflies, and I stamped it on the stitched layering rectangle that comes with the Treat Topper Die Set. It was adhered to the card front with a YNS Doily underneath, and I added a pink sparkly Gumdrop to that rectangle. In the photo below, you can see how the light catches the acetate panel.



Finally, here is a peek at the inside, with more patterned paper from the stack and a stamped sentiment.



The Fun Friday Challenge #143 runs through July 23rd 2020 at midnight EST. One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp store.  If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives an additional $5 gift certificate for a total of $20!!  The winner will be announced on the YNS Blog the Sunday after the challenge closes. Check it all out on the Your Next Stamp blog HERE.

  1. I like how you added acetate making windows for the patterned paper. And why had I never noticed these Rounded Shaped dies?
