Hi creative friends, the gorgeous new Butterfly Kisses collection combines soft pastels with pops of vibrant colors, all complemented by intricate butterfly motifs, floral patterns, and whimsical touches. It's a perfect blend of lightness and elegance, lovely for documenting a special occasion, capturing moments of everyday beauty, or creating a whimsical layout for a loved one which is exactly what I have created today.
I printed my photo in the size of 5' x 7' and then cut it into a circle. I added my photo to a sheet of plain white cardstock using foam tape to pop it up off the page, creating some dimension and shadows. I trimmed down the white cardstock to approximately 11' x 11' and matted it to the 'B' side of the Butterfly Kisses paper from the Butterfly Kisses collection.
Around the photo, I added a mixture of butterflies from the Odds and Ends and Bits and Pieces ephemera packs and also some Doodle-pops too. These packs feature a mix of die-cut elements such as intricate butterflies, flowers, and decorative pieces, perfect for layering and adding interest. The Chit Chat pack includes adorable word phrases and sentiments. I added a sweet, suitable title at the top right of my photo.
For this particular design, I used the Butterfly Sprinkles to add delicate butterflies throughout the larger butterflies. The sprinkles added a bit of shimmer and shine, the smaller stickers helped balance the overall composition while keeping the whimsical, airy feel.
I punched some holes in the cardstock to create butterfly 'trails' and then hand-stitched the trails with different colored threads. I love how the hand stitching enhances the layout and adds some texture to the page.
I hope this post has inspired you to try out the Butterfly Kisses collection in your own projects. Whether you’re crafting a page for your scrapbook album, creating a greeting card, or designing a mini album, this collection will surely add a touch of magic to your creations. Happy creating!
