Butterfly Gala Cards

All week long I’ll be posting Butterfly Gala Projects. I’m hosting live classes and have an online “to go” class, see the Events / Workshops tab or details below the project. You will get all supplies to make projects and all the measurements and detailed instructions.

Two cards inspired by Stampin Up

This cute card was right from the catalog. Super fun use of the gingham paper.  Stamp a greeting, add some twine and a little butterfly (you can punch the butterfly from the designer paper) or I chose to stamp and color.

This one was inspired by the Stampin Up artists.  Designer paper on the back, a band of the black and white (the reverse of one of the butterfly papers) and the pearlized doily and a greeting. 

This greeting is from “incredible like you”.   I wanted to show you versatile this design is.  Don’t forget to add leaves (made with 2 leaf punches – the “leaf” and the “sprig”). Twine bow just finishes it off. 

This is a live in-person class in Pittsfield ME May 18 and in-person on Anna Maria Florida May 10. 

It is also an online to go class for the month of May. You buy the stamp set and bundle and it is delivered to your door with all of these projects ready for you to create along with a full color detailed step by step tutorial.  Everything you need in one bundle!  Class is $40 in person and $48 delivered to your door to cover the Post Office charges. 

Email me for details MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com.  Just add ink – you can do all the projects with black ink or choose the matching colors.

A simple card that is easy to make into multiples.

You can stamp the butterflies and color them in, or I simply punched out butterflies from the matching paper.  This one has a layer of Highland Heather (which I embossed), then the designer paper, and a piece of vellum. The trick is to first adhere butterflies to the vellum, add dots. Now turn the vellum over and add dimensional where the butterflies are, so you won’t see how you secured the vellum from the front. 

The hello and friend come from the Well Written/Well Said bundle, I love this set. So versatile.  I added glitter dots to match. Yes you will get the words and glitter dots, everything you need to make these projects that is part of this bundle.

These are 2 fun treat holders.  Quick and easy to make, perfect as party favors, Easter Basket stuffers or a small thank you gift.

The gable box is lustrous white and I chose to emboss it – pick any folder you have and run the box through the big shot – or leave it plain. I added ribbon, a thank you and butterflies. 

The other treat holder can hold square chocolates, or a tea bag and if you don’t have the gusset to make it stand up it can hold a gift card. 

A very simple project from a 6x6 piece of paper. Five folds, fill it, punch a hole, tie it up – you’re done. 

These holders would both make great Teacher Appreciation gifts – coming the first week of May.

Here's my version with the butterfly. 

It’s 2 cards in one. Here are a few photos so you can see how it goes together.

Butterfly Gala Swap Card

When a new catalog comes out, our team does a swap. It's a way for us to get samples and ideas using new products

This card was created by Ruthie Graen and uses the Butterfly Gala set.  

Our theme for this swap was #simplestamping and I think she naile

d it. This set really lends itself to easy stamping.  

I love how she used just 2 colors of ink, and decorate the inside of her card.

If you want to see more of the amazing work Ruthie does, head to her facebook page

I love our team - what fun we have. We are from around the country (guessing you figured out Ruthie is in Arkansas) and we are in FL, ME, ID, CA, WA, VT, CT, KS, MO, AR, IA, NE and I'm trying to remember all the states!!  Such fun to have these friendships.  I'd love you to join our team, the starter kit is awesome, pay $99 get $126 and a permanent 20% discount (sort of like my CostCo card but no annual membership!) no obligations, if you don't order $300 a quarter, your account drops, and that's ok.  All the fun, no serious commitment.  Don't hesitate to drop me an email at MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com with questions.

Every day next week - Monday through Friday - I'll be sharing 10 projects that I created with the Butterfly Gala set and punch. I have 2 in person classes (Pittsfield ME and Anna Maria Island FL) and an online "to go" class that I'll be offering for sale as of April 18 - so join me on my blog next week for these projects. 

Happy stamping MaryKate
