BUTTERFLY KISSES CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Thanks for popping by today! Today's post is simple, fun and easy to recreate! They are created using Butterfly Kisses with a front strip of cardstock to help pop your focus point!  I love re-visiting and re-creating with Doodlebug products because everything matches and co-ordinates with each other.  Once you start to build your collections, you'd be able to pull out anything to craft with, how fun! Hope you stay tuned for the video showcase at the end of this post.

I've used the cards & envelope pack from the Happy Healing collection.  The pink, green and blue ones are perfectly matched with the Butterfly Kisses collection, super adorable!

Have you ever noticed that the envelopes have sweet patterns inside? Talk about detail! Look at how stinkin' cute the polka dots are and the pink graph? Yes, please!

To start the card bases, I've machine stitched my chosen patterned papers from the 6x8 paper pad, onto some coordinating craft foam sheets.  This helps to add dimension and texture with the stitching.  I've used a quilting thread that is thicker than most threads, but any thread will do!  Once I've stitched, I've then adhered them to each card with liquid glue.  Then once bone dry, I've scalloped edged each card.  Cute, right!

Now is the fun part! Decorating to your hearts content! You may have a theme in mind.  For me, I love creating cards just because. And once finished, I wonder if I need to add more. If you know my crafting style, you'd know I love to create clusters from both ephemera and stickers! Then once I've finished my clusters, I need to add a dash here and a splash of finesse there by dotting some Sprinkles around. Nothing escapes me! Ha.

Thank you again for visiting crafty crew! I hope you found some inspiration today! Please remember to tag Doodlebug Design in your Socials when you create with our products so we can all admire your creativity! We love seeing your creations! Until next time; doodle doo!  Enjoy my video showcase!
