Notes of Cheer, Butterfly Card Trio

Stampin' Up has had this butterfly themed card kit in their catalogue for a couple of years and I kept 'adding it to cart', then removing it. When I found out a friend was having eye surgery and could be laid up for several weeks though - I bought the kit. She works with butterflies at our zoo so it seemed appropriate. 😊

I have a walkthrough of the first three cards on YouTube:  

Of course the first card I made was a shaped card, and the first one I sent to my friend.

I spritzed the butterfly with shimmer spray, added a stitched vellum circle and a die cut HELLO cut from mirrored card stock.

The second card was an easel card. I cut the back off of this butterfly then adhered the back to the back of the shaped card to make it more stable.

Finally, a bright and happy card that I sent to my Mother In Law for Happy Mail. Since I added that busy patterned paper to the card base, it really didn't go with the envelopes from the kit. I pulled out a bright yellow envelope from my stash instead.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
