Card Idea 1:

This card was created using DCWV Pink Butterflies Paper, blue Bazzill cardstock, white cardstock, light purple cardstock, dark purple cardstock, a Chinese text stamp, a Happy Birthday stamp, purple ink and a purple pen.

To recreate this card making idea, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of blue cardstock measuring 5 1/2 inches by 11 inches (14cm by 28cm). Fold in half to create a card.

2. Cut a piece of DCWV Pink Butterflies paper measuring 12.7cm by 11.5cm. Mat with white cardstock and glue to the front of your card approximately 0.4cm from the left and bottom edges.

3. Cut out a circle from light purple cardstock. It should be about 6cm from diameter. Using purple ink stamp Chinese text images (or any other pattern) on your circle to create a subtle background. When dry, draw a border of dots around the edge with a purple pen. Mat with white cardstock and glue to your card. It should be centred horizontally and towards the top of your card.

4. Cut out another circle, this time from white cardstock. It should be about 3.7cm in diameter. Draw a border around the edge (don’t worry about making it too neat). Glue to the centre of your circle from the previous step.

5. Cut out two blue butterflies from DCWV Pink Butterflies paper, making sure you leave a small pink border all the way around them. Glue in your circle, as shown above.

6. Cut out another two blue butterflies from DCWV Pink Butterflies paper. Make sure they are the same size as the butterflies from the previous step, but this time, do not leave a pink border around them. Also, cut off their antennae. Make a small fold along either side of the body to make the wings stick up. Glue one on top of each butterfly from the previous step but make sure you only place glue on the underside of the body section – you want to be able to make the wings stand up!

7. Cut a strip of dark purple cardstock measuring approximately 8.3cm by 1.5cm. Stamp a Happy Birthday message in the centre (you may like to go over this with a pen to make it stand out more). Mat with white cardstock and glue across the bottom of your circle, as shown above.

Card Idea 2:

This card was created using DCWV Pink Butterflies Paper, white Bazzill cardstock, blue Bazzill cardstock, purple Bazzill cardstock, green Bazzill cardstock, a Happy Birthday stamp and purple ink.

To recreate this card making idea, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of white Bazzill cardstock measuring 15cm by 20.6cm. Fold in half to create a card. Place in front of you so the fold is down the left side.

2. Cut a piece of blue Bazzill cardstock measuring 7.5cm by 12.5cm. Glue vertically down the right side of your card, as shown above.

3. Cut a piece of purple Bazzill cardstock measuring 1.8cm by 14cm. Glue vertically down the right side of your card, approximately 0.6cm from the right edge.

4. Cut a piece of green Bazzill cardstock measuring 9.3cm by 4cm. Trim one end to create a tag. Glue horizontally across your card so that it is up against the right edge and 2.8cm from the bottom edge.

5. Cut out a floral design from DCWV Pink Butterflies paper, making sure you leave a pink border all the way around. Glue down the left side of your card, as shown above.

6. Stamp a Happy Birthday message in the bottom right corner of your green tag.

Card Idea 3:

This card was created using DCWV Pink Butterflies Paper, pink Bazzill cardstock, white cardstock, a Happy Birthday stamp, purple ink, a pink pen and a purple pen.

To recreate this card making idea, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of pink Bazzill cardstock measuring 15cm by 20.6cm. Fold in half to create a card. Place in front of you so the fold is along the top.

2. Cut a piece of DCWV Pink Butterflies paper measuring 14cm by 9.5cm. Tear along each edge to give a white torn look. Glue to the centre of your card.

3. Cut a piece of pink Bazzill cardstock measuring 9.8cm by 7cm. Using a purple pen, draw a border around the edge, as shown above.

4. Stamp a Happy Birthday message in the middle of your pink rectangle from the previous step. It doesn’t have to be perfectly centred, but you may like to go over the image with a pink and/or purple pen to make it stand out more.

5. Cut out a selection of swirls from DCWV Pink Butterflies paper, making sure you leave a pink border all the way around each one. Glue around your Happy Birthday image, as shown above. Trim away any excess overhanging the edges.

6. Mat your pink rectangle with white cardstock and glue to the centre of your card.

7. Cut out two butterflies from DCWV Pink Butterflies paper, again making sure you leave a small pink border all the way around them. Make a small fold along either side of the body to make the wings stick up. Glue one on either side of your birthday message, as shown above, making sure you only place glue on the underside of the body section of each butterfly (again, so you can make the wings stand up).
