Hello there. Today I’m sharing a bit with you about how I made the butterfly card. I’m amazed how many emails I received asking for directions!! I think it’s just an optical illusion and once you see how simple it is, you’ll smile. Here is a video that walks through the butterfly panel:
Before I forget, let me remind you that there are still three days left to register for my current blog candy. You can check out the post with the goodies HERE.
This is a card I created for a challenge over at Created ByHand called Are You Wearing Green? It uses a wonderful sentiment from Quietfire Design called Wheresoever You Go. Quick and simple and using my new favorites Spellbinders™ Mega Classic Scalloped Ovals LG and Spellbinders™ Mega Ovals LG. I also added a border to offset that tall oval – Spellbinders™ Fair Isle Borderabilities Petite.

Becca, Thank you so much for shwing us how you did the butterfly card.
Thank you for showing us how you made that beautiful butterfly card. Your talent and creativity is amazing!
Hi Becca,
I want to thank you for the tutorial on your butterfly card. I can hardly wait to try this out for my self. I had pictured doing this a lot differently. My mind was doing all kinds of tricks on how to accomplish this card and none of the ideas where easy. I am so happy I actually think I can do this. Have a great day.
Hugs, Judy
Thanks for the tutorial. That big scallop punch had me fooled. Gorgeous card.
thanks for sharing your beautiful card
Becca,
This butterfly card is so beautiful. I have to go out and find this large scallop punch.
Love the Becca Bits!!!Keep them coming.
Becca – thanks so much for the tutorial on the butterfly card. YES, I can do that…it is easier than it looked – thanks for doing that too (making it easier).
Thanks so much for the tutorial Becca! I’m gonna have to buy those punches so I can try it! ;)
I love it. I think that I can do this. Great and easy to follow tutorial. I have a friend who loves butterflies. I think I’m going out to buy the Martha Butterfly stamp, some card stock and envelopes along with various designer papers, write up the tutorial then make up a couple of cards (for her to use as a sample) which I will give to her as a nice little gift set. Then she can make up Thank you cards, or note cards or whatever she likes.
I love Becca Bits! I learn so much from you! Thank you!
Becca, you sure do make it look easy…..and I thank you for all of your Becca Bits….awesome!
Thank you for another great tutorial.
Thanks heaps for your tutorial on how you made the butterfly card. It isn’t as hard as I thought thanks to you and your great tutorial. Looks like I will have to get those punches now… more to add to my wish list!! LOL
Love your cards and always look forward to seeing what beautiful creation you have to share.
All over the blogdom(is that a word?), light bulbs are going off, as we watch your Becca bits! Could you hear the cry of, “Oh! That’s how she did that!” rising from the masses? Pretty tricky there with those butterflies Becca. I like all the dimension flexing those wings adds to the card.
I really like the sentiment you used on your card today. Your cards always have such a flow between all the elements. Everything ties together so well. I’m still working on achieving that skill. Thanks for patiently “helping” us with your daily “bits and beauties.”
Becca, you make things look so easy! Thank you for that wonderful video!
You’re just so sweet to share with us your tutorials. Thank you for your continued kindnesses. We love your papercrafting genious!
Becca,
Another beautiful card. And love the Becca Bit as well.
Keep up the wonderful work.
Great job,
~~Diane~~
Ah……a jumbo scallop punch! That was what I couldn’t wrap my brain around……! Thank you, Becca, for taking time to make this tutortial and having so much patience with us!
I love the card you posted! The colors work so nicely together!
Thanks for the tutorial. I love the butterfly card but I was so confused about how it was done. I’m glad to see that it’s really very simple. thanks again, I can’t wait to do this one myself.
Love these butterflies! Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to film a tutorial. I’m a visual person and it helps to see a technique done.
Your butterfly card was so clever. I am so jealous of your imagination. I can copy other peoples ideas and often even improve them but never can create the initial ideas like you. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
TFS your tutorial of these beautiful butterflies Becca!!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Fabulous tutorial – fabulous. Thank you so much; you are a complete creative genius!!! :D

Thank you Becca for posting the fabulous tutorial on What If Things Never Changed with the butterflies. You are so blessed with a wonderful creative mind and talent. Thanks, Stella
Darling card Becca. I can’t wait to get my MS butterfly punch. I have seen is used so many times recently on blog cards! thanks sooo much!
Amazing! Don’t know how you come up with all these things. You are so creative. TFS!
Love that trick I should be so gifted. thanks.
This will be my first time to reach you I didn’t know my uri old but sure.
Thanks for many other time.

I love Show and Tell! Thanks for the tutorial, Becca.
Your card is very elegant and beautiful and I love the words!
Linda
ohhh i love that boder outstanding card too.!! now im off to buy some more punches so i can try that magnificant tutorial.
Becca -Thanks for the tutorial ,I didn’t have the punches that you used but wanted to see if I could use spellbinders S3-038 Butterflies and it worked. I first cut out the butterflies (I was able to get 3) embossed then went back and only embossed the base color so when I put my butterflies and the wings are bent up you see embossed butterfly wings, I used Fiskars Border Punch-Give it a Swirl .
Thanks for sharing and making us all think out side the box.( When using spellbinders Butterflies I taped two sheets of card stock over one of the butterflies so it would not cut into my paper and only ran it though my cuttlebug just to the end of the one butterflies.I
You ROCK, Becca! Love the video and thank you very much for taking the time to share the instructions! I think I can do it! :)
Becca,
I just love ALL your stuff you are so wonderfully talented. I do have the butterfly stamp l love it. Could you please tell me where to get to the scalloped punch or what one you used.
Keep up all the inspiration you have given me and the rest of world.
Warm Hugs
Carol
