Beautiful butterfly

Hey friends - back with another Craft Roulette card, this time with a butterfly:


Supplies: Paper - Pink & Main patterned;
Recollections cardstock; TH Kraft Metallic
Dies - Spellbinders Playful Stitched Panels;
Scrapbook.com Heirloom Butterflies
Other - printed sentiment (might be SSS);
Trinity Stamps enamel dot

I watched Episode #341 on Friday night and submitted my card then; just hadn't had time to blog it until now. Host Mary Gunn had Libby Hickson (‪@libbyhicksoncreates‬) as her guest, making her 3rd appearance on the regular show. Libby was also a guest on World Card Making Day 2024. I've known Libby for many years from when she worked at Hero Arts; she's now with Pink and Main who happen to be the sponsor for our October Die Cut Diva Challenge! Please check it out if you have a shaped card!!

As usual, the crafty wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters:



  • Project - Card with 2 Folds: I made a simple gatefold. 
  • Colors - Planets: Blue for Earth, plus many other colors in the background fit other planets. 
  • Element - Beautiful: Butterflies are beautiful to me. 
  • Random - Wonky: I used a wonky rectangle. 

I was in the mood for a quick card so grabbed a piece of leftover marbled paper from the Pink & Main Birthday Bash event earlier this year. Scored and folded into a gatefold card. I already had the butterfly in the stash. Die cut a wonky label and adhered to the left side of the gate. Adhered the butterfly & a sentiment strip - done! Since the paper is so busy, I left off any other embellishments.

Here's a view from the top:


Later I added a sentiment panel to the inside. This card is going to a Craft Roulette friend who is experiencing health issues. We have a little Caring Card Crew that sends cards when we're aware of a need. This is in addition to the birthday exchange so I stay busy!!

That's it for today, friends. Thanks for the visit and I'll be back on the 21st with my regular Diva post, if not sooner. Happy crafting!!
