BUTTERFLY KISSES RAINBOW NOTEBOOK | with Miguel

Today, I have another project using the Butterfly Kisses collection. This time, I made a notebook with a rainbow theme, perfect for documenting and noting to-dos in a very cute and colorful way. I covered my covers with the Solid Assortment.  I love how they offer the specific range of colors that match the collection.

I cut very thin strips from four of the patterned papers and glued them onto the cover.  I added adding some clouds and decorated with border stickers from the  This & That and the puffy words stickers, which give a super beautiful finish when it comes to phrases. 

I had a fun idea to add the tags that come on one of the sheets of the collection, which can also serve as dividers and frames for photos of very special moments.

And of course, the cherry on top is this beautiful Doodle-pop butterfly. I love how it looks in projects, especially its shiny, 3D finish. 

Thanks for stopping by and reading! See you soon!

BUTTERFLY KISSES BEAUTIFUL YOU LAYOUT | with Tarrah

The perfect way to celebrate and document those everyday moments of love and connection, was using the Butterfly Kisses collection! For this layout, I wanted to create a bright, cheerful design that highlights a sweet photo while letting all those happy colors and playful patterns shine.

The standout feature of this page is the diagonal patchwork background. I created a grid of square pieces using a variety of patterned papers from the 6' x 8' paper pad —florals, ginghams, butterflies, and tiny icons—all arranged on a diagonal for a fun, dynamic feel. This design adds movement and visual interest while allowing multiple patterns to come together in a cohesive, eye-catching way.

To frame the page, I matted the white cardstock to the 12' x 12' Garden Gingham patterned paper that neatly ties everything together and keeps the layout grounded.

The photo sits slightly off-center, layered on top of the patchwork design. I kept the photo cluster fun and dimensional with a mix of die-cuts, stickers, and embellishments from the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends packs and the This & That sticker sheet. A soft yellow mat under the photo helps it pop while still blending beautifully with the bright colour palette.

Around the photo, I built layers using flowers, butterflies, and small accents from the Bits & Pieces pack to create a balanced composition. The addition of fluttering butterflies across the page gives the layout a light, whimsical feel—perfectly matching the joyful theme of the collection.

The title “Beautiful You” takes center stage, combining bold, colorful lettering with a handwritten script for contrast and personality. Placing the title close to the photo helps anchor the design and draws attention straight to the focal point.

Just beside the photo, I added a small sentiment piece that reads “Love You So Much,” reinforcing the heartfelt story behind the layout.

To complete the page, I sprinkled in enamel shapes and tiny embellishments, including a cute frog Doodle Pop and additional butterflies, to enhance the playful vibe. A few floral clusters at the top and bottom of the page create visual balance and guide the eye across the layout. I also drew faux stitching on each square paper to add some more interest and make them pop.

If you’re looking for a fun way to showcase your favorite photos, give this patchwork style a try—you might just fall in love with it! Thanks for stopping by today! Happy creating!

BUTTERFLY KISSES GIFT CARD BAGS | with Kathy

Sometimes I think that spring time is even busier than the holiday season!  With Mother's Day, lots of family birthdays, graduations, end of year activities, it seems like I always need a little gift, and gift cards can be a life saver!  Whenever I give a gift card, I like to package it up in something pretty... so to prepare for this season I created a few gift card bags using the Butterfly Kisses Collection.  Take a peek...

To create the bag shape, I used a goodie bag die from my collection.  I cut them from a few different 12 x 12 papers from the collection.  I then set out to decorate them all using flowers and butterflies from the bits & pieces pack.

For the first bag, I used the bubblegum colored side of the Butterfly Kisses paper for the bag.  In addition to the bits & pieces I also used a butterfly from the bitty bugs shaped sprinkles.  I created a tag using the all occasion large tags doodle cuts and added a puffy word sticker for my sentiment.  I tied it on with some limeade doodle twine.

The base of my second bag was made using the garden gingham as my base.  I added bits & pieces and some flowers from the flower garden shaped sprinkles.  It's tied together with some bubblegum doodle twine.

My last bag was made using the coral side of the mushroom meadows paper.  It's decorated with Bits & pieces and a cute little butterfly from the butterfly kisses shaped sprinkles.  I topped it off with some coral doodle twine.

I love that these bags are a good size to hold a gift card, and a few sweet treats.  They would also make good favor bags for a party!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
