Interactive Pop-Up Butterfly Greeting Card

Hi there! Daniel West here! Thanks for joining me on the blog today!

Interactive cards have taken Pinterest and Instagram by storm. I have dipped my toes into the river just a bit with this butterfly card. The die set I used makes it a cinch especially when paired with great, heavy, beautiful cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse Paper Company.

To begin, you will need to gather these supplies:

• Cardstock Warehouse Paper inGrapesicle/Lavender, Purple and Amethyst
• Butterfly Love Bundle and the Beautiful Butterfly Bundle from Concord & 9th.
• Grape Crush, Sugared Lavender, Pixie Dust Inks from Catherine Pooler
• Night Shift Embossing and Alabaster embossing powders from Brutus Monroe
• Heat tool
• Die-cutting machine
• Paper trimmer
• Scoring Tool
• Stamping tool
• Strong liquid adhesive

Follow these step-by-step directions to complete your card: 

• Begin by cutting an 8.5 by 5.5” card base out of a sheet of Grapesicle Cardstock
• Stamp the butterfly turnabout stamp out on the card base front using the three different violet ink colors. 
• On the fourth turn, prep the cardstock with an anti-static powder tool and stamp it in clear ink.
• Heat emboss the fourth turn clear image with Night Shift embossing powder.
  
  

• Die-cut the butterfly pieces out of the Purple and Amethyst cardstock.
• Adhere the detailed die cut over the solid die cut with strong liquid adhesive.
• Fold, connect and attach the pop-up mechanism to the back of the butterfly, then to the fold of the card base.

I have a video showing the entire creation of this card below!
