Yes. The answer is yes. Haha! I have a couple of butterfly bundles already and I didn’t think I needed another set…but then I laid eyes on all that is in this limited-time collection. The papers are just so beautiful and the dies…the dies are AMAZING! Solid outlines cut out 6 butterflies at once and there are 6 detailed lacy butterfly dies, plus 3 fun texture dies and 2 mini butterflies. I’m thrilled with this whole collection. The bundle will actually be available in the next annual catalog, BUT the papers are limited time only! I was thinking about just getting the paper (because it’s a must), but I am glad I caved in to getting the whole thing.
The colors in this paper are so pretty together. They are Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Poppy Parade, So Saffron and White. One side of the paper has fun butterfly patterns and the other side is more subtle with happy blends of softer colors and patterns. Do you see the pink and blue “camo” looking patterns? They look awesome cut out with the detailed butterfly dies. I just laid the dies over the paper and snipped around it to save paper before I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. These look amazing layered over coordinating solid cardstock!
Speaking of intricate die cuts, I tried to go ahead and cut 6 detailed butterflies at once in vellum. That didn’t work so good. It needed another pass through the machine to really get it and since the images filled the whole plate the front ones were shifting by the time the back ones came through. It really worked amazing when I did one at a time and ran it back and forth twice in the machine. Then all the little pieces just fell out like magic. I hope this tip saves you some time and frustration. The detailed dies are sooo pretty, but run them back and forth twice to save yourself from poking out every little piece. 👍
And check out this fun piece of DSP with all the big colorful butterflies on it. There is a big die that cuts out all of them in ONE pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine! Six butterflies all ready to go on your projects in one pass. Love. It.
I made a fun Shadow Box using this collection today. You can view the replay of the Facebook Live HERE on YouTube. I had an epiphany right before filming this today and you’ll have to watch the video on my fun tip for making the butterflies so 3D and colorful they nearly jump out of the box. I’m so pleased with myself with this one! Let me know what you think.
I hope you like this Butterfly Bouquet collection as much as I do. If you LOVE it, there is one item code to add the whole collection to your cart. I love that Stampin’ Up! knows me so well that they gave me an easy button to get it all. If your order is under $150, please use Host Code JTVK4JCJ for March 2021.
Happy stamping!
