I used the new Butterfly Basics stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! 2105 Occasions Catalog to create my card to share today.
My card design was inspired by the CAS(E) this Sketch #104.
I started by inking the line image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink and I stamped it off once on scrap paper then stamped it across a Very Vanilla panel. Then I inked up the honeycomb image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Soft Suede ink, stamped it off once and stamped it on the panel. I repeated that process with the honeycomb image two additional times.
I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Soft Suede Ink over the honeycomb images. Then I used the Stampin’ Pierce Mat, Paper-Piercing Tool and the scalloped template from the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce a scalloped line across the panel.
I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock with SNAIL, then tied a strand of Linen Thread around the panel. I adhered the panel to a Soft Suede card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I inked up the small butterfly image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink, then used a Sponge Dauber to add a little Soft Suede ink around the edge. I stamped the image on Very Vanilla card stock, punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional. I inked the image up a second time the same way and adhered it with a Stampin’ Dimensional to finish the card front.
I inked up and sponged the butterfly image again on a Very Vanilla panel inside the card.

Amy, this is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Such a stark contrast to the chaos felt around my house on Christmas Day. Thanks for sharing.

When I make CAS cards, my mom will say, “I don’t like all that white space.” Ok, everyone can’t like every type of card, but for me, I just Love all this white space, Amy! Your pretty card base and matting cause the eye to be drawn right to the central images & sentiment plus all that surrounds them! A beautiful card indeed~
